Rice Rangers

About half of the young men being trained in rice production were photographed in new uniforms.

FCOP is really gearing up for the 1000 hectares of rice land which will provide for building up the church, and feeding, raising, and training the separated children under our care. We need to become less dependent!  FCOP must have trained people to do that. There really isn’t a good agricultural school to teach commercial scale rice production in Cambodia, but we have one, and there are about 30 young men enrolled in it at our rice farm.

They are learning by doing, and getting paid a fair salary to boot. I promised them uniforms and couldn’t find anything sturdy enough for them except for surplus Korean Army uniforms. That’s what they got from me for Christmas. We call the kids, “Paul Mok’s Rice Rangers” (General Paul Mok is pictured in the Pith Helmet).
