House Dedication

Chrab Krosang Village, Battambang, Cambodia – 2018. At the end of the Build there was a Dedication ceremony which unusually for such things did not include lots of speeches from government and NGO officials. We had a fun ribbon cutting ceremony and a presentation of house keys and then the family and team went into the house and took turns talking about the building experience and, from the family, the profound impact the new house will have on their lives. A very moving experience.
