Kampong Thom Gardening Project
The gardening project is a Latter-day Saint District project. 25 families wanted to be involved in the project. Most land in this area around Kampong Thom is either under water or water logged during the rainy season. The first phase was to fill areas around their homes to raise the garden area. The second phase was to furnish chickens. Some families have been very successful and it has raised their self reliance. Some are able to use and sell much of their produce. The District President monitors the program and makes recommendations to participants.

What awesome project, what awful soil. 4-H has a great chicken coop design that we used in the Peace Corps that accommodates some 50 or so chickens. Our former neighbors, the Waters had chickens, but bought them "unsexed", so the neighbors complained when some turned into roosters. We made several trips up to the feed lot in Auburn to return the noisy males. The others went on to give many eggs....that is the ones that didn't get eaten by the coyotes since sometimes they were free range birds. Keep up the good work.
