Where are we?

This is our property round about 2005. The white square centered in the picture.
Just recently published. Previous searches showed the land green and separated.
I am supposing the picture was taken shortly after the land was filled in.
You can find us on google earth maps of Takeo, Cambodia.
It might be hard for you to find if you do not know the area or what your looking for. If you did want to find the area on Google maps the best way is to find the mountain to our East and to the right of the picture called Phnom Chisor. The white road north of the property. This road runs to the North side of the mountain, so find the road and you back track that road to us..

When you first type in Takeo, Cambodia you come up south of us. There is a large lake there you go North to the top of the lake where it thins out keeping the road #2 in you sights. So you have the tip of the lake where it meets a mountain where the white road is and then left or east to the road #2 then there we should be.










taking the time to try and find us on Google maps will let you explore our area a little. Our area is not supper quality yet but you get an idea of the country where the roads are and the temples around us.

You might find it interesting.



















We had a return visit of our Australian friends. They played soccer and made balloon animals that the children had a lot of fun with.













































Our piglets are all gone. 88 babies this summer. Sadly the prices where at a low for us. The children carries a lot of pigs to day it was quite fun.














22 babies a load 4 loads. It was the most babies I have ever seen on a bike.














We finally found the help and ideas we needed.
We where invited to visit a professional pig farm about 20 minutes away.
Over 350 pigs makes about $5000 a month.
What was important for us was to learn about keeping the temperature the same. How they feed and what they did.
I did not really like how they where cadged but over all we learned a lot and now we will think about how we can apply it to what we do.













Their pig where the best I have ever seen it really put ours 207 kilo mom to shame. On average these mothers where over that. They also had a good breads as they only use artificial insemination with the donors coming from Thailand.














When we where done with class we could see some fun looking temples on the mountain so we dropped by for a look.


















Ruin, Lim, Te-a, Chow, and Channee.
Ruin is one of our workers. The other 4 boys are from our animal team leaders. Children selected because they really care for their animals well and they will be here a few more years to take what they have learned and share it with other children.
