Recently, our friend Boc Kron built Mr. Trau Kod (shown above) to protect the reservoir and embankment. It was explained to me that Cambodian people believe there are spirits for all elements such as earth, wind, clouds, etc. and Mr. Trau Kod was built to represent the spirit of the reservoir. This spirit is meant to protect the area and seek revenge on anyone that would harm the reservoir. I think we will still need to implement our inspection and maintenance program after the project is completed but it's comforting to know we have Mr. Trau Kod on our side.

Bryce, Mr. Trau Kod is a very powerful guy. He doesn't do maintenance, but he does do "evil eye" stuff to keep the bad guys at bay.
You all are doing great work.
Hope you make it home for the holidays.
