cambo memo: we're engineers without borders

rainbow over rice field
i'm an engineer, not a humanitarian, so what good would i do?....

we walk through this project as precariously as we would walk through the landmines in the resevoir of the rice fields of cambodia.

...it started to dawn on me tonight how much time i've been devoting to this engineers without borders watergate project in cambodia. so much effort from everyone on the team has molded this project to where it is now, and still i feel like it's only a gray shade of the tip of the iceberg. my feelings of being overwhelmed wanes on a daily basis, and at times, it's easy to forget that this is a project of hobby and compassion, rather than work. yet when i do look up and take a step away from the canvas, i can't help but notice how inspirational this painting can really be. that overwhelming feeling subsides...and i smile.

so the cambodiary starts here:
...once upon a time, in a rice field fah fah away....
