- We got an email from Soknay! He has returned from attending to family matters and has asked for a skype date. Sagar emailed Soknay back with a proposed skype date of Thursday October 20th 8pm (our time) so we eagerly await his reply.
- In preparation of our skype conversation, the team brainstormed ideas and Sarah created an agenda which includes the following topics: What is the progress with the 3H latrines? Is our partnership still needed for this?; Are there any projects that community currently needs?; Review our mission statement; Inquire into additional contacts in Pursat, specifically among the younger generation.
- David updated the team on the communication he has had with his Cambodian student friend, Sopheaktra. In his correspondence, Sopheaktra described sustainable energy, clean water, latrines, access to education, and the threat of preventable diseases as the most pressing needs of the Pursat communities.
- David, Ashley, and Laureen updated the team on their trip to the EWB conference in Jacksonville last weekend. Some points emphasized were the importance of waiting for a project idea to come to us and not pushing any of our own ideas, the benefits of diversifying the team (ie. incorporating different majors/backgrounds apart from engineering), the benefits of partnering with a professional team (which Ashley is looking into), and the correction of vocabulary.
