Day 1: After a 45 minute drive from our hotel in Kratie we arrived in the isolated bamboo farm in Ko Ki. As we looked at the already planted trees we realised that this would be the hardest work we were going to do on the trip. Digging holes, filling it with manure and planting trees in the scorching sun left us all tired after a half day’s work. After a day in the bamboo farm we headed back to Kratie for some fun in the markets, buying the most useful, biggest, most traditional or the most products with the one dollar we were given.

Day 2: The now familiar drive, pumped with some music, meant we arrived at the farm in no time at all. We started off by weeding some of the older bamboo. After a delicious lunch we dug some more holes and planted more trees. In total we planted a total of 120 over the two days. Many hands made light work and it was a fantastic effort by all to finish off our days of service.
