In roughly 2 months I will be travelling to Vietnam and Cambodia for 4 weeks along with a groups of friends and expedition leader. We have been organising this trip for about a year now and majority of the places that we will be visiting were chosen by us.
Whilst in Cambodia and Vietnam the team and i will have a number of phases. (each phase being a week)
- Project phase
- aclimitisation phase
- acclimatization phase
and most importantly
- Rest and relaxation
All of this is done through an organisation called World Challenge who help us set up a team, aid us with information and most importantly give us an expedition leader who knows a few things about getting around Vietnam and Cambodia. Although we do have a teacher and expedition leader with us, they will have little input as to desicions made...we, as students, will organise transportation, food, accommodation and a number of other things such as leadership roles in our group.
Raising the funds has been up to us and the general cost of the trip is around $7000. I've had a part time job for the past year or so and that in itself has been an experience but to get the most out of this adventure i was looking to raise some extra funds for the project phase.
The project phase involves visiting a small village/town in rural Cambodia and providing assistance in some way. A few of the things that we will be doing are:
- Renovating/painting the house in the center
- Concreting the
kitchen at the center
- Filling in flood-prone areas with
gravel
- Developing an organic garden
- Interacting with
local children at the center through English lessons
and games
Aswell as this, we were hoping to each contribute some money so that when we leave we will be able to provide support to the village for at least another year through funding for a teacher.
This is where i was hoping that i would be able to raise some extra money to help contribute to this project. Any contribution will help and hopefully you will be able to see the massive effect that this has on the community that we will be helping (i am the photographer for the group so there should be some pretty good photos)
If you would like to know any more information about the exact places I will be going or more about the project phase just email me or give me a call :)
The link below will give you a general overview of what i will be doing.
