Rabies in Cambodia

Welcome to the Zoonotic Disease Exploration. Zoonotic means a disease that transmitted from Animals to Humans In this exploration we were helping an organization called PPAWS to spread the information around the village about the free Rabies vaccination and free surgery for the pets. We went to Mondulkiri with PPAWS to do this mission. There were about 50 dogs 20 cats in total for two days, and there were about 20 dogs get surgery and 8 cat get surgery. We also help to prepare the event in Koh Krobey and Chumpous Kaek pagoda to give the free Rabies vaccination to the villager’s pets.

 

I also learned how to be a good communicator in this Exploration, as a stranger walking into the village that I never heard of is difficult but I have to confront it to be a change agent. Some people were interested but some are not which is normal for the people in the isolated area. I met some people who really love their pets, so they took it to get the vaccine, but some people they don’t care about their pets. I also want to say thank you to Liger that gave me this immense opportunity to learn about Rabies and able to work with an awesome organization (PPAWS).

Take your pet to do surgery without paying!!

Football ASE

Almost every week we were having football competition with other teams. Mostly the coach made list of 18 students including me. As you know I like football by a lot. 90% of the time that my name on the starting line-up. It is easy for me to get into the starting line-up because I am the only student that play left-wing. This year we have a bad season because we played 4 matches so it looks like this, LDLW and we don’t know which team that we are going to play with next.

 

As football is my passion and one of my future goals is to be a football player I also lead an after school activities(ASE) with the junior students. It seemed most of them are interesting in this activity but only small amount of students that join this activity, but now I saw a lot of progress in this ASE. They are started to enjoy football more and more. And thank you Theara, my team mate, for helping me.

Down below is my training video that I edited last month!!

Rabies

Rabies

 

Rabies is a type of virus that reaches your brain and cause Encephalitis.Rabies move through our nervous system. 600,000 bites a year, 3-4 injuries from 100 people. After bitten the virus takes 1-3 months to reach the nervous system. Eating dogs meat also could transmit the disease to human too if we wound in our mouth. It is 100% FATAL, no cure, only vaccine. The symptoms of animals that have rabies are, hydrophobia, acrophobia, hyper-salivation, and difficult in breathing. You can identify the animal if it has, tail down, voice change, lost of orientation, can’t recognize its owner, hyper-salivation has rabies. I Cambodia rabies identify that it is mostly happen on dogs but these animals also have it too, cat, cow, pig, squirrel, bat, and African Dog. Why is it mostly happen on dogs in Cambodia? Because it is our favorite pet and popular.Image result for rabies dog

 

Khmer Song

I am writing a song about myself. I get inspired by some songs in the 60s. This song is talking about how I end up with loving each girls from all provinces in Cambodia. In fact I wrote this song because it’s reminded of places that I been to around Cambodia. Down below is my Khmer song that I wrote!!

Creative writing

During the expertise class called Creative writing, we wrote a day in a life of one thing but not human. I wrote about soccer ball, and how it’s been used for days and days. Down here are what I wrote about a day in a life of a soccer ball, and below is a Youtube link that you can go and watch my video.

Quietly eating the air  and my belly billow out

Ready to get kicked by these intelligent football players

I ran faster and quicker than them, after they kicked

Juggling me like a cannon in world war two

They uses me to be a bridge to their success

The more they kick the more I digest my food

I experienced a lot of the physics examples

Shooting, Dropping, Hitting, Heading

The football pitch is like a physics lab

Rolling on the pitch as grasses is a friction force acting opposite of me

 

When I’m on the field

I’m on fire

I scored, I kicked, I hit, I headed by a lot of famous football players

As I sweat a lot, I get dirty, I do a lot of activities in the pitch.

90 mins I get only 5 mins rest, and that is when a kindly ball boy keep me

And throw my friend it to the field to replace me.

They use me like a poem, they write about me with their soul and their heart

But they say it with their foot, with millions of audiences attended there just to see me

And I became more and more popular around the world

Physics Assignment

In Physics class our teacher gave us an assignment to do. The topic is about finding the Physics behind any object. Since Physics attending everywhere my group decide to fine the Physics behind Football. 

Below are the examples of Physics behind football!

Goalkeeping

  1. First law
    1. The goalkeeping role the ball to the defender, if there no frictions acting on the ball will just keep moving.
    2. If the ball stay at rest it still at rest, unless a footballer kick it
  2. Second Law
    1. Soccer ball and bowling ball, bowling ball has more mass so it has less acceleration. Soccer ball accelerate faster cuz it has less mass
    2. Greater force of kicking to more acceleration
  3. Third Law
    1. When you kick the ball the ball pushes equal and opposite on our foot
    2. When we jump and hit the ground and it bounce back up, this is because when our mass hit the ground and the Earth exert the same amount of force as the amount of our body hitting the ground.

To Spray or Not to Spray

This amazing seven weeks project has changed my life. I learned how to write a magazine and how to become a better writer. In this project I studied about the pesticides that sprayed in Liger, the power of the pesticides on insects. We went to Snoul to learn about the organisms in the organic farm. I learned about an organic farm who doesn’t use pesticides to repel the pests out of the farm in fact they created their organic pesticides to repel the pests off their products. I been to CEDAC (an organization that is working with the villagers about producing the organic products). CEDAC is working with 18 provinces including our capital city on organic products and finding the market for the organic farmers in the provinces. I wrote an article “The Ultimate Battle between Liger vs Pests”. In this article I wrote about the problems here that we had with pests as our main issue. I also include Liger as the subject in this article because many things were take place in Liger. At the end of the this project we had a Magazine as our final product.

Trapezoid

Base on the book a Trapezoid is quadrilateral in which only one pair of opposite sides is parallel. Below is a formula of how to find the area of a trapezoid:

1/2*(a+b)*h

1/2* Sum of parallel sides* Height

Khmer Reading

រឿងរ៉ាវនៃទឺកដីកម្ពុជាក្រោម

Cambodia is a historical country. We only find the history of Cambodia from books, videos, documentaries. Cambodia had leaded by many different kings.

And this book is mainly talk about the history from Angkor Period until the French Colonization.
