Iron DeFISHiency

My first Exploration of the fifth year at Liger is called Iron DeFishiency (Iron Deficiency). I had never heard of this topic before. It’s really a new and interesting topic to me. So let me tell you what I have learned and know about this topic. Basically, iron deficiency is one of the anemias that happens to nearly half of the people in the world and maybe you have it too. Anemia is a disease that causes by the decreasing of the red blood cell (RBC) in our body. Anemia can cause by three things including parasite in our body, the genetic disorder which we get it from our parents, and last is an iron deficiency which is the lack of iron in our RBC. Our Exploration worked with Lucky Iron Fish company, which has the headquarter in Canada. We worked with them to do a workshop to the people in Siem Reap. We had a trip to Siem Reap for four nights and we did three workshops. We explained the villagers about the cause of anemia and explain to prevent it. At last, we introduced them the Lucky Iron Fish and told them how to use it. We gave out each family an iron fish. Besides doing the workshop in Siem Reap, we also being an opportunist to visit some places there like Angkor Temple (the largest religious temple in the world) and War Museum. It such a great Exploration that I can not tell you how much I had gained knowledge from it.
