Little Miss April

Hi there fellow Trailblazers!

The visit to Sras Village Jan 18th was heartwarming and productive.  The footings for the new school building are almost complete, and all of the children enjoyed seeing themselves in the Trailblazer 2008 Calendar. (You can still gets your today!) Below is Uhra,in the middle,  seeing herself on the April page.

The new water lab is being planned with our Field Director Ben, our goal is to have it complete by March to start testing! The water filter production warehouse in Siem Reap is busy and operating well with a constant flow of volunteers and donations.  Thank you all for your support there in Siem Reap!

Trailblazer Founder, Scott Coats (pictured above on the right) had an interview with The New York Times on Sunday, so be on the lookout for that article.

Please feel free to leave your own comments and/ or experiences below and keep in touch with us, we’d love to hear from you.

Peace,

Kicking off the New Year

Hello friends!

I hope you are all having a prosperous new year!  We voted in another new board member at our first meeting of the year, Mr. James Minton, specializing in alternative energy power systems.  He is a great addition and we are so happy to have him working with us!  He is also over in Cambodia right now working with Trailblazer Founder, Scott Coats and our Denver based board member, Robert Youngberg to build a facility to test the water from the bio-sand water filters.  This will be an important resource for us to make sure the filters we install continue to produce clean water for families in rural Cambodia.

                                                                  

Scott, Robert, and James will be heading out to Sras village to check on the construction of the new classroom building sometime next week and take some photos – so then we can keep you all updated on that great project! For more information on our water projects, visit the “Water Projects” tab on our website and find out how you can help to provide clean water for several families.
