My first visit to Cham Resh was in March 2009 with the Outreach team from the Angkor Hospital for Children They were conducting an education session on the management of diarrhoea in children. In the Q&A period I was asked by one of the mothers for a well for the village. The only source of drinking water was from a dirty pond. As I looked at the scene of the village and its people: malnourished naked children, poor shelter, lack of clean water, and a dilapidated primary school, no or little livelihood. I realized the real issue was abject POVERTY!!
THIS IS THE REAL CAMBODIA!!! THE LAND OF POOR!!
I was very moved by the plight of the villagers and decided to start a project to help them. So MECC was founded.
