Today our demonstration kit was used in an educational workshop in a village near Battambang. We set up the kit in the village meeting hall. The first hour was spent doing health education and good hygiene practices. It was really great to see how the Teuk Saat community facilitators explain why clean water is important. Despite the whole talk being in Khmer it was clear they are really good at what they do and the audience was captivated.
We held our breaths as they moved on to demonstrate the technical process but thankfully it went brilliantly! The villagers were really eager to see each process and hopefully they are now convinced that our water is safe.
After the educational part of the morning everyone had a chance to taste the water made in their local station and eat some biscuits. Everyone seemed to enjoy the taste which is a very important factor for them and they definitely enjoyed the snacks! It also gave us a chance to practice our little Khmer and play with the incredibly cute children.
A successful day all round.
