Preparing Prahok in Angke Jeay Villlage....

   The VHW students of Angke Jeay Village  celebrating the end of the IMCI course by preparing Prahok, a traditional Cambodian dish…. crushed fermented fish paste. They made it to enjoy as a dip for vegetables and fruit.

   Historically, for the poor rural people in Cambodia, Prahok would at times be the only source of protein in a meal, eaten mixed in through a bowl of rice.
   During the wet season and for a couple of months afterwards when fish are in abundance, locals begin making Prahok so that they can use it throughout the dry season when water levels are at their lowest and they might not have another form of protein.
   As a result of this, Prahok has found its place in most Khmer dishes as the main source of protein, as well as serving as a powerful flavor enhancer.

Overlooking Angke Jeay Village.....

Psalm 139:14

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.

Water Sources in the Village

Many people in Cambodia are too poor to afford to have a water well constructed. The average family earns less than $1/day. So they must take their drinking water from polluted ponds or rivers which can cause diarrhea, dysentery and other health issues.
MTW Cambodia just completed Baseline Household Surveys to determine the health of 3 villages where we are currently working. We hope to identify needs there in order to improve the health of the people including current water sources.
