Mr. Hor Pov, studied 3 years in Buddhist Pagoda from O Por village, Rumany commune, Rovieng district married Ms. Chhim Sokhy living in Trapaing Tantem village, Rumtum commune, Rovieng ditrict.

We have two children, older daughter 11 years old name Pov Sok Im, now she is studying at grade 5 and 5 years old son studying in Kindergarten class name Pov Sok An.  I am now as a farmer to do agriculture such grow vegetable and rice to support my family, my wife working as commune supervisor. I am follow Buddhism.

 Before ADRA’s project come, we were working on the rice farm, to find old post in the forest, digging to find golden mine to support family.  

When ADRA project come, my wife passed as commune supervisor, I feel very happy then I know ADRA project clearer.  ADRA Project also support my family and seeds through agriculture training, then I wish that our family will much better in the future due to my children have enough foods such vegetable which is natural, no chemical foods.

As I heard ADRA working and good image for long time in our community to help our community, actually through meeting, education my wife, my mother-in law, and I get more knowledge on how grow vegetable, decrease the violation in family such as fighting children, take much more care to children such I know how to feed children and think about family health and I have shared knowledge to my villagers to take more actions on family health.

ADRA Project is helpful to our community; I wish to have a latrine from ADRA project if project has. I hope ADRA project will continue more work in our community to release from health problems and family violation and poverty.

Unhealthy is not always because of poverty. Anywhere and anytime, we can make it better
