Cambodian New Year

April is split in two by Cambodian new Year. It is only supposed to be a three day holiday, but it often gets stretched into two weeks. Traditionally it is a time of cleansing, forgiveness and blessing; which meshes well with our Christian teachings. Even though we did celebrate New Year at church, and most people got at least one day off, FCOP actually kept working through it. That's how we got 750 acres of rice planted. We had teams at work on both sides of the holiday, and through the middle, refurbishing multiple sites. The Chom Chao Church/home cafeteria got a new coat of paint, and a new kitchen stove, thanks to left over funds from USANNA Health Care. Tek Hoat (The church where Long Kit was killed) got a new cafeteria, a new keyboard, and a total refurbishing; including a new well (This is a huge amount of work) from a small team out of Yuba City, CA.  The Cross Mountain team from near Huston, Texas, built a new fence at Otdamsorya. It was a good month for our facilities. Thank you!
