Despite being a professional engineer, a Prince George man had an experience of a lifetime surviving with village people in extremely poor conditions.
Dave McWalter of L & M Engineering recently returned from two weeks of hard labour in stifling heat to help build five simple homes for struggling families, introducing children to skipping ropes and soccer balls and building a soccer field.
"Cambodia is known as one of the poorest countries in the world, and these families subsist on small plots of land given to them by the government as repatriated soldiers. But they are not farmers, so they are forever struggling," said McWalter.
