Our director, Mr. Kato, is going to have “the lecture of sea turtles” at the University of Tokyo, Graduate School of Public Policy on November 18.

Since I have nothing special to do with any high educations, I tend to swoon at his/her feet every time I meet anyone who has “a bachelor degree”. So, as soon as I hear “The University of Tokyo” or “a graduate school”, I thought they were god-like existences, with whom I didn’t have any relation at all in my life (lol). Anyway, Mr. Kato, who keeps his “talking with shouts” style wherever he goes, is a great guy, and furthermore, he guaranteed that he was going to talk about our HUGS at his lecture, such as; what kind of activities we are doing and what kind of goals we are aiming at. I wish I could fly to Japan and attend his lecture so bad, but I had to give it up this time because it is a little bit far from here to Tokyo. So, instead of flying there, I am going to support him with a different way, which is offering some resources. I have decided to make an amazing and honored resources, which is equal to Mr. Kato’s enthusiasm and to make the knowledgeable students of the Tokyo University surprise.

I wrote the other day on my blog article titled as “the agriculture with the introduction of IT” that we’d like to try to introduce Information Technology to the field of agriculture not only in Cambodia, but in developing countries as well for our pride. Mr. Kato is going to talk about the same issue, which follows our thoughts, in his lecture this time. So, I went to the farm in Pailin, a west side of Cambodia, where HUGS does some operations, and did some flight tests with a drone (a radio-controlled helicopter with aerial shoots functions) yesterday.

Well, this is amazing. Although I am a beginner to use a drone, it is easy to control and fly it, and its pictures are outstandingly clear and beautiful. My technique is not good enough to take cool pictures /videos yet, I truly thought this technology is very useful and essential for anyone who owns an agriculture business. I can’t stop regretting if I had had this technology already when our crops had got massive damages from the heavy rains last year, we could have got the picture of all the damages in details.

Being able to overlook down the farm in details from above the sky is a huge merit for us, who own an enormous land, which is unable to be looked over at glance.

Technologies are incredible, aren’t they? Due to the hard works of the world-wide geniuses, our life is getting more convenient. Well, let us do what we can do at least; delivering the benefits from the geniuses to any developing countries, which has nothing related with any technologies yet.
