Toilets in Cambodia
G’day and Greetings from Cambodia,

I continue to be moved by the plight of village families as they struggle to improve their lives when they have so little.  Kok Benh Village has clusters of communities that have no toilets.  We have just finished installing sanitary toilets / wash rooms for eight families.  No longer will they have to use the jungle behind their houses as their toilet.  No longer will they experience the vulnerability and shame when having to defecate in the open.  Their appreciation is beyond words but one mother shared her feelings and it warmed my heart.  Her translated words are in the photo following.
