Tekville

Tekville is a prosperous village according to some of the crew members. We arrived here last Friday and are leaving today. Evidently, someone in this community was educated in farming techniques and has used that knowledge to help everyone use their farmland to the max. Vegetables by the truckload are sent to Phnom Penh markets. Piseth told us that other people from distance provinces come to learn from these farmers. The first picture is the scene I enjoyed daily at the triage area. The two calves were quiet, but sometimes the aroma reminded me of driving past the Amarillo feed lots. Out front of the house, you can see the ship from the road. We were very close to highway that goes to Vietnam. And the last picture was a well landscaped spot that we were impressed with in the yard of house next door. On our walk, we came to a house that was teaching high school age kids English. The teacher wanted us to come up and greet the kids. We talked, but their English wasn’t good enough to understand. So, I attempted to tell them in Khmer that I understood how difficult it was to learn a second language. They laughed!
