During this season of the year, people would have been preparing for the upcoming Water Festival to celebrate the good harvest season. This year they have little to celebrate as heavy rains ruined crops and flooded farms, homes and villages. The flood affected thousands of families in the Kampong Thom area. Families from the affected areas started arriving hours before the distribution time in anticipation of the relief they would receive. Families arrived on scooters, in Tuk-tuks, and on bikes to transport the much-needed food.
