The running water project emerged from a strong working relationship and friendship among Thy, Narith and Susie as a result of their involvement with Teachers Across Borders Australia Inc. The 3 met in 2006 during the first programme of teacher training workshops offered in Kampong Thom. The project started by drilling wells for 3 schools and now covers 60 schools and over 15.000 students and teachers.
