Faye's Cambodian Village Rescue

 

​

I will be acting as a ‘Reach Out Volunteers’, working side by side with the villagers as they struggle to lift themselves out of poverty; parents want clean water and dry homes, children want to learn English to allow them to work in the tourism industry and the community needs a regular supply of food and access to clean water to sustain itself. The money raised will help to build the future for Cambodian villages.

 

Cambodia is a land of temples and spirituality, of love and hope, but the decades of war, land mines, poverty and disease mean that Cambodians face a large number of challenges.

 

It is also one of the poorest countries in Asia and life is tough for most of the population. The average annual income per head is $2,000.00 and only 36% of the population has access to safe drinking water.

 

Siem Reap, villagers live on less than $2.00 per day. ‘Reach Out Volunteers’ will teach English at the local school, build brand new homes for families in need, assist in delivering new facilities and life enhancing skills to disadvantaged rural children and orphans.

 

I will be working together with the Khmer people to rebuild the country after the devastation of the Khmer Rouge, of Tuoi Sieng and the killing fields.

 

The young are pushing themselves, and their nation, out of poverty. They relentlessly pursue education, they work hard to complete high school and they strive and hope for a university education. The ability to speak English is a much sought after skill as it provides entry to the large and rapidly growing tourism industry. Skilled speakers are hard to find and teachers are even fewer.
