I saw this sign by the door of a commune training centre in Kampong Thom province in one of my visits there. If I’m not mistaken, the partnership has been on for more than 20 years now with about 260M euros spent for programs in Cambodia.

Cambodia is a partner country for the German Development Cooperation.The priority areas of cooperation agreed between the two governments are rural development and support for the health system. Cross-cutting tasks include: fostering democracy, civil society, public administration and good governance. (Source)

These shrimps are caught in the waters just off Sihanoukville, Kampot, and Kep. Aside from selling them fresh, they are also sold as dried, or, preserved in salt and spices and bottled. The dried and preserved ones are usually used to season or add zing to Khmer food.

APAD 190: A Khmer traditional house

Posted by The Insider on Nov 1, 2011 in A Photo a Day, Addicted to Meme, All things Khmer, Cambodia, Cambodia life, That's My World, travel, work | 2 comments

This is how a typical rural Khmer house looks like. It is made of wood and palm fronds.

This type of Khmer house is found all over the countryside. They are all on stilts and up above the ground, as you can see in the picture. This is to avoid flood-waters. On dry, summer season, the lower part of the house is used as a kitchen, a storage area for their things and a rest area at daytime. In the evenings, it is also used to shelter the family’s farm animals.
