Hello all!
Tanisha here! For those who may not know who I am/what I will be up to in the near future, I am a 22 year-old university student from Canada who is currently studying in Western Australia! I am about a month into my semester abroad and have recently confirmed my trip to Cambodia at the end of November.
Alongside a small group of university students, I will be collaborating with the Arrupe Centre in Battambang province.
A little bit of information about the Arrupe Centre: Arrupe provides a wide range of services to its surrounding communities. These include access to daily living essentials (meals, living accommodations, etc.), education, and healthcare. Most notably, Arrupe welcomes and supports youth who have been injured as a result of accidents involving landmines. Whether it is through the distribution and repair of wheelchairs, the provision of educational opportunities, or access to medical services, the Arrupe Centre cares for its surrounding communities immensely.
Since we will be working hand-in-hand with the centre, we wish to "pay it forward" and assist in funding some of the centre's activities and services. These funds will finance two specific initiatives/services that Arrupe is involved in/provides:
(1) Funds will finance the travel costs of the group (which will include both students and children residing at Arrupe), who will be journeying to Angkor Wat and participating in the Angkor Wat International Half Marathon (varying distances).
We are taking part in this event to stand in solidarity with those directly impacted by the country's active landmines, which still remain a prominent threat to residents' safety. We also hope that our participation, though quite minimal on the larger scale, will help to emphasize the government's assurances (and thus, hold policy makers accountable) that Cambodia will be free of active landmines by the year 2025.
(2) Additionally, funds raised will finance a minimum of four scholarships for children at the Arrupe Centre! These will fund access to Arrupe's many services, which allow children to be more adequately supported on a daily basis.
While this is definitely a lot of information to process and consolidate all in a moment's time, should you have any questions for me I would be happy to answer them for you! That being said, any and all support is so greatly appreciated!
If you are keen on incorporating the distance I will be running into your total donation amount, feel free to calculate your contribution based on the number of kilometres I will be running at the Angkor Wat International Half Marathon (i.e. $2/per km would equal a $42 donation to my campaign as I will be running 21 kilometres). Or even better, I would love dedicating a training session to you (a neat way to calculate my progress and to maintain my training)!
Warmly,
Tanisha Garing
