A long time since the last post, we are working harder than ever and the end of the season is coming faster than we expected, hanging around the beach in a hammock takes more time than you would think.
So, what are we up to more specifically? We are producing a line of products for one of or sister companies – Salza Fire Gear, by employing local women from a makeshift village close by. We are planning and designing the first Done Right product, namely ipod and macbook skins, which also will be produced in Sihanoukville.
So thats fine, but what about helping? Our friend and colleague Ida is starting a project to get power and new roofs for the above mentioned village. We will help her in any way that we can, not only by donating money but also contribute our time and personal effort. It is important for us to follow this project to see that the people in the village gets a better shot at life, and basically won’t drown during the rainy season.
Our crew has changed a little, So the skeleton crew is now based on Anders, Sander, Rani, Mom and I. We’re a small group, but in about two weeks we’ll be joined by two more friends from back home.
Also, we were hit by rather high waters after a tsunami near India, which led to sea levels rising to about two meters higher than normal. Thanks to our lovely staff and friends, we managed to get a good crew together to save our place; digging up and moving about 100 sandbags from a nearby location to our place. Right now the building of a brick wall is in the final stages, hopefully we will be done in a couple of days.
