From May till November, Cambodia is rainy season. We could not do much on the construction of the Health Center.
We have finished columns and connected them on the ground.
We made columns 1.5 times thicker than Cambodian current standard. In Phnom Penh, lots of construction work is going on (now slow down because of global economic crisis) but many of them are poor quality.
We don't want our Health Center having crack in the walls or any other inevitable damage within few years.
We are monitoring progress in every stage carefully.
Unfortunately, we had too much rain in October / November and it washed cement away from the last two columns before it dried. We needed to demolish those two columns because it's too sandy and not solid enough. After this, we decided to stop construction until rain stops.
Now, we enter dry season and we are ready to catch up with construction schedule!
Community is looking forward to seeing the Health Center starts operataion. Also, GRAPHIS, the donor of the Health Center is coming to celebrate the Health Center Opening Ceremony. We need to complete the construction by March 2009!!!
