Check out the photos below - we have coconut trees growing on our school grounds and a small lake just behind. Both provide us with a food source that we often use. The lake, for example, provides us with fish, morning glory (Cambodian green vegetable) and water lilies and sometimes lotus flowers. The coconut tree - well that's obvious!
These are but a few example of how we eat what grows around us. We catch frogs and fish when we can to cook and eat, we pick flowers and leaves from plants we know are nutritious and full of vitamins.
Unfortunately, not all of us are so lucky with what grows around us, and because of the dry season things can often die, that's why we have a well installation project to help villagers with no access to water - to try and give them a way to keep the good things growing!
