KHMER ROUGE EXPLORATION

41 years ago Cambodia was occupied by the Khmer Rouge (KR). It was the most destructive period of time in Cambodia. Everyone’s life was threatened by killing, malnutrition, being overworked, starvation, and mainly the death from weapons such as guns, mines, bombs, artilleries, and helicopters. Most of the weapons were imported from the United States, China and Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, known as USSR. The Khmer Rouge traded agricultural products to get these weapons.

We visited three museums that are related to Khmer Rouge war: War Museum, Cambodia War Remnants Museum and Landmine Museum. The common things that all three museums have are the weapons that were used during the war, and all of those weapons were found around the museum areas and in the forest along Thai border. Those weapons are: guns, mines, bombs, tanks, and artilleries.

What I learned from the War Museum is that after the war, there were six million mines and eight million bombs left in Cambodia. Now, 80% of the mines were cleared but 1.2 million mines still remain. One connection is that those bombs were also a reason that the Khmer Rouge gain their power through propaganda because the Khmer Rouge soldiers told everyone that they need to fight back against the US because US was dropping bombs in our country.

GREEN CAMP SCHOOL

On 25th October, 2016 we had a very special guest from Green Camp School in Indonesia. They came and gave us a really special speech about their school. The school was located in Indonesia. The whole school was build out of bamboo. We got to build any structure we wanted, but we do it in the team. My team have 12 people and our idea of building the structure is to make the start with five faces. When we finished with the five faces and we left a lot of bamboo, so we decided to build the pyramid on the top of the middle part of our star.

IRON DEFICIENCY EXPLORATION

In this exploration we are learning mostly about anemia. We found out that 25% of the world population and 43% of Cambodian women and 53% of Cambodian children are anemia. Anemia are caused by genetic, parasites and iron deficiency. Genetic is when you parents pass the DNA to you. Parasites is when the hookworm eat you red blood cells. Last but not least is iron deficiency is when you don’t have enough in your body. To solve the anemia problem is to eat healthy food and food that contain a lot of iron in it. The food that contain a lot of iron are beef, pork and green leafy vegetables. From age 19-50 years old they should contain 18 ml gram of iron per day and the pregnant women they should contain 27 ml of iron per day. Pregnant women should contain more iron than the others because when they give a birth to their kids they lost a lot of blood and the iron are in the blood. So it also mean that they also lost a lot of iron. We collaborated with Lucky Iron Fish Organization. This organization is making the fish that contain iron. They helps to distribute the iron fish to the villagers that can’t support the healthy food for their family. We also went to Siem Reap to do the presentation to the villagers about how important is iron in our body. We not only went to the village, we also went to one NGO called Future of Khmer Children. We help the Lucky Iron Fish to distribute the fish to all of the villagers that came and listen to our presentation.

I really love my bedroom, big bed, comfortable blanket and soft pillows. In the guest room, there’s a gigantic television, sofa, tall refrigerator oven, and a long table for meals.
