A Day in the Life

Bike to work. Grab a $0.75 local breakfast of pork and rice next door. Work up a sweat unbolting water filter molds. Watch red ant nests overtake trees. Ride on a trailer attached to a motorbike out to Tekvil village. Drop off a water filter (donated by Jason's Mom) to an NGO - Bridges Cambodia International (www.bridgesinternational.org) - that provides food, shelter, and a school for 27 kids. Talk with the incredibly nice man that runs the place. Hang out with and befriend the really awesome kids. See firsthand how excited and appreciative people are to receive the gift of clean water. Get caught in the monsoon rains. Climb back onto the trailer and ride down super bumpy, partially washed out dirt roads to Kampheim village. Drop off another water filter at Sophay's school. Get to see how the school was built out of recycled water bottles filled with trash - love the innovation, making use of what's available. Have lots of laughs with the water filter team that has also included Sophay this week. Prepare to journey back. Break down on the way home next to some bulls and a school, somewhere on a dirt path outside of Kampheim village. Fix problem after much racheting. Bump along an array of dirt roads while passing through the countryside. Return to Trailblazer. Finish another fantastic day.
