our people in Cambodia
Thy and Narith
Thy is the project manager and team leader for running water project and is the Deputy Director of the Health Departments of the Provincial of Education in Kampong Thom.
Narith is Principal at Porpel School. He brings great organisation and practical skills to the team as our construction manager.
It's Thy and Narith's knowledge, management and communication skills that make the projects happen.

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 program of teacher training workshops offered in Kampong Thom. The project started by drilling wells for 3 schools to provide running water for drinking, handwashing and toilets.
