Living Water-Tapoun Kert Village

Tapoun Kert village is located in Takeo province; witch about 60 kms east of Phnom Penh.  It takes 2 hours to reach this village by the main road. The total population of this village is around 130 families. The main occupation of these villagers is agriculture and they depend on the season for cultivation. These people cultivate their small piece of land is which they grow rice. In other seasons, most of these people leave there village to finding work in other village like building construction and earn their livelihood. They are poor and economically backward. In the village the people they don’t have facilities like safe drinking water. Operation Blessing team visited this village at the request of Pastor Nou Phorn who is spreading the Gospel and doing God’s work in this area. When the team surveyed and saw the dire need of water, they drilled and provided a hand pump well in this village.

Mrs. Tan Yoeurn, 60 years old said with the joy and thankful that: I am very happy and very surprise with this well pump. I’m very thankful to CBN and Donor that you help my village with safe drinking water. Before I use the water from the dug well about 1 km from my village, everyday in my family we don’t have enough water to use. Only my child that go to collect the water from that well and he can go only after school but sometime he have free time he can collect more. Everyday my family has water only for cooking and drinking and we don’t have enough water for shower or give to animal. If we want shower we need to go to the well located for take shower but we can take shower 2 times for a week because it so far.

In the dry season, we need to spend a lot of time to get the water from other village and sometime we us the water from channel and water is not clean it very cloudy. We don’t know what to do and we have no choice we life by faith and by pray.

By the grace of God and because His love to the people my village have pump well. This well pump is very good well and brings us good water and good health. Now my family have enough water to us and my child don’t need to go far to get water any more. I’m worry any more about water and I can get the water by my self too. Because of the love of God through CBN and Donor my family have better life. I pray to God for blessing to donor a nd CBN and longer life.
