Cambodian Building Project Fundraising

Our students are getting very excited about their upcoming Tour of Vietnam and Cambodia and have been busy helping fundraise for our Cambodian Building Project.

An integral part of the tour is the community service building and planting project, which will involve the building of a brick house, construction of bamboo greenhouses and the planting of fruit trees and vegetables.

 

This will provide a home for a Cambodian family and sustainable agricultural initiatives for the community. Our chosen Cambodian farming family consists of the father Yek Kruch (49), mother Chum Teud (45), daughters Yet Tha (23), Yet Thann (15) and son Yet Bash Sna (18). The family has lived in a shanty for the past 15 years.
