Especially exciting this coming trip, is the prospect of re-visiting the 'fishing village' at Berng Ria. We visited this village twice back in 2001 to deliver some rice and provisions as well as to do some medical/dental work. We even managed to do some simple preaching there.This village, loosely called a fishing village is rather interesting as they are a little mobile. They live in stilted huts, loosely held up with ropes. Their huts are regularly dismantled and relocated as the water levels shift through the various seasons. We are visiting them this time to see how we can help them build a school for their 70+ children. Should be quite a challenge given the semi-permanence of their dwellings.

During the rainy season, dry swathes of land are converted to a 'baray'
Fishing village, or sometimes called a 'floating' village (and yes, that Ps Boon Leong in the background)
Yep, that's me .... a more youthful me!
