Ta Meun Village

#TaMeunWaterProject #FaribaultGlobalProject
 
The Rotary Club of Faribault is putting things into place to to provide clean drinking water and create a sufficient source of water for Ta Meun Village, a small rural village in Northwest Cambodia. The project will also include the establishment of a community garden. Overall, this venture will help to improve the health of the community by providing safe drinking water and fresh produce to people. The total cost of the project is estimated at around $75,000. 
 
Interesting fact about Cambodia:
 
The Angkor Wat, a Hindu temple, is one of the largest religious monument in the world and it is the largest in the world if you consider the total land area and structure that makes up the entire temple complex. However, Angkor was not just a temple. In fact it was an entire city. At it's height, there were roughly 700,000 to 900,000 people there. This estimate could possibly make Angkor the largest city in the world in that time period.
 
The temple is the national symbol of the country and can be seen in Cambodian communities across the globe. It is also the logo of one of our project sponsors, ChheamKounKhmer Clothing.
