A visit to Ps. Ty Bros' Church in Kraing Thnong village






Some pics of the small chicken farming project used by Ps. Bros to raise funds and support the local church. Local youth are employed to work in the business - the profits are currently helping Ps. Bros' church become self-sustainable.


A local truck en-route to the Ps. Pros' province - typical mode of travel for locals is anywhere there's a room to sit - even if on top!!



Ps. Bros with a local young woman entrepreneur. An example of silk weaving business development - the church loans the weaving looms on a pay-back basis to such young entrepreneurs, the profits from these small enterprises are greater than working in the garment factories. Each woman can then work from home, enabling them to help with their family/parents, while earning a decent salary - enough to contribute well to the families income needs.


Ps. Bros' church building - with some recent renovations and fresh coat of paint - looks fantastic!
