Floods

The Stung Sen river in Kompong Thom burst its banks near to the CoDeC office two weeks ago. Now the only way to get to work is to park my motorbike 100 metres away, roll up my trousers and wade! Beneath the water, the mud floor has become extremely slippery, and it is very hazardous for me to walk through the water carrying all my valuable possessions, particularly my laptop and mobile phone which will get ruined if I slip. I have watched two colleagues get a drenching so far – hope I won’t be next! In the photo I am standing with another VSO volunteer who will be providing training in HIV / AIDS to my CoDeC colleagues in the near future.
