Sustainable Development Projects
Sustainability is something that everyone wants to see it happen within certain timeframe with a long process of development. Sustainability is creating some forms of ownership by the project itself while it has been implemented. Sustainability means in different forms of how the project operates in the community. It doesn’t matter how we operate the project and what kind of projects are, but we have to think of a way to sustain it in a time frame setting. We can’t live to depend on always outside supports, we need to step on our faith to do something where we have never been feeling comfortably before. Stepping out from our comfort zone is not so easy to do. But the higher we climb, the challenges we face!
We would like to update you all of what has been happening within our Teen Challenge ministry. Almost of each day, we received phone calls from different areas in Cambodia asking for help with their sons. We are not able to offer our help at the same time while we are extremely caring for our students at the Teen Challenge Center. Our resources are limited in term of building space and our finances. While we are working very hard together with our students and staff to create sustainable development project in order to support our ministry financially in the years to come.
Our sustainable development projects this year have been growing fruitfully. Our rice paddy this year is able to produce 1 ton and 300kg of rice that would allow to feed 35 students plus our staff of 10 people up to 2 and half months period. Also, this year we are able to raise 7,000 fish in our new pond within our property of the Teen Challenge Boy’s Center. These fish will provide us the food in the two or three months to be able to feed our residents within center. Our chicken is increasing from 10 mother chicken up to 100 chicken for food. Our cows also are expecting to have give birth to two calves for this near year and at the same time. However, our piggery project is not able to make any profit this year, but we also didn’t lose anything, we only hit the break even point. On the other hand, we are increasing of compose (natural fertilizer) to support our land of agriculture. Below are our main activities of eco farm:
1. Fish raising
2. Growing and planting vegetables
3. Raising chicken
4. Raising cows
5. Growing rice
6. Pig farm
7. Motorcycle Workshop/Repair
8. Tailoring
