Bottling spring water from a deep well in Goducate Children’s Home Cambodia

The Goducate Children’s Home sits on a 6.5 hectare piece of land on high ground in the district of Prey Nob Cambodia. Many years ago when the land was first purchased, a deep well was drilled in the middle of the land which hit a spring. It has been giving clear, pure spring water ever since.

Recently, Rawlings Institute, a private educational establishment in Cambodia, requested the Home to bottle the water and provide the staff and students with a regular supply of bottled water.  The water was sent for testing for its mineral content A pump was installed to pump the water out from the well for bottling.

Yesterday was the official opening of the girls’ workshop at the Goducate Children’s Home in Prey Nob, Cambodia.  The ceremony was attended by two personnel from Goducate HQ.

Two sewing machines donated by supporters from Singapore have been set up in the sewing room.  Some of the girls will be trained in sewing. In the baking room, the girls had prepared delicious durian cupcakes the night before, and they showed off their decorating skills.

The Home has received orders for cakes from Rawlings Institute, a training school in Cambodia, and the girls will be able to bake regularly and draw a small income from the orders.
