On our first day of work, we visited a school near Battambang. Thearout, one of the Coconut Water social educators, gave a workshop on agriculture and pesticides. The Cambodian legislation on the use of toxic substances in agriculture is pretty lax, and many children -especially those from poor backgrounds-, have to help their families in the fields. This means that they need to be familiar with the different Hazmat labels, be able to identify the symptoms of poisoning, and know what to do to prevent it.

Coconut Water also gives Khmer, English and Maths classes in a number of primary schools in the area. The aim is to provide extra lessons to children who are falling behind or need additional support. Below you can see how Seyha, another educator, improvised an outdoor classroom.
