1. Project progress up to now

Describe the details you did related your project including the preparation process so far. *Details about Who, What, When, Where, Why and How The project first started in May with conducting a project orientation meeting with the project team members. There was not much activity beside a few single meetings with the project team members to discuss on the preparation on residence-based farming workshop, and the planning for documentary photography. As the team do not have an office, therefore all of the meeting has been conducting at the coffee shop. In June, the documentary photography first started in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. The project coordinator and a supporting member have traveled around the city to do the documentary photos, capture different categories of housing in Phnom Penh city having the colonial architectural building, 1960s & 1980s architectural housing, and current housing. The project coordinator and the team members haven’t travelled to the target province to collect more photos of some other housing yet, as all of the team members have full-time jobs, there’re a few projects have been organizing in the social-worker-based group GEM at the same time, and the project coordinator need to travel to some provinces for his workplace field research, yet during his workplace field research he has captured some wooden housing in some provincial area. The photos documentary which has been conducted were brought to analyze the different housing categories. There are 6 housing categories have been divided, the 6 categories are from different decades, and cultural and political era of Cambodia. In July, the project coordinator has been working with a graphic designer to make a sketch of the divided categories of housing. The sketch may be used for the assessment session in the residence-based farming workshop as well. Even though, the documentary field photography was not conducted in the targeted provincial area yet, the project team members have been preparing the logistic and workshop agenda for the first residence-based farming workshop. The project coordinator has met with a few independent journalists to introduce the project to them and to seek for their interest writing about the project objective. The project team members have prepared the supplies for the residence-based farming workshop.
