This November, I will be travelling to Phnom Penh with a group of like minded people to help build homes for Cambodian families. I did this same house building trip in 2009 and am privileged to be able to do this again this year! The Cambodian families have themselves saved money over a few years to buy the land and some of the building material. The rest of the funds and materials to build and complete the homes will be raised by us. There are about 40 volunteers in all and we are to build 24 houses over 2 to 6 November 2011. We hope to raise not less than USD 24,000 (costs approx USD1,000/house).
As volunteers, we are covering our own travel and accommodation, but we are calling out to our families and friends to help us raise funds for the building materials and to raise awareness for this Cambodian House Building Project run by the Tabitha Foundation.
Since 1994 the Tabitha Foundation has worked with over 500,000 Cambodian people in the poorest communities in the country. Tabitha's philosophy of self-help is designed to promote self sufficiency and dignity through savings, counselling and goal-setting programmes. In ten years the Tabitha Foundation has seen over 2000 houses constructed by a over 5,000 volunteers. Please do read more at http://www.tabithauk.com/
No Donation is too small or too large....
Many thanks
Anita
