Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I'm currently working for Globalteer. Globalteer’s Kids Project is located in Siem Reap, near the UNESCO designated World Heritage
Site of the temples. The project
supports free education programmes for children, homes for orphans and
vulnerable children, vocational training, day centres for street kids,
community support, sports and arts.
We focus on the young and vulnerable to assist them in finding a way out
of the trap of poverty...
Despite the wealth of tourist money that enters , very little of this money
filters down to the average Cambodian.
Malnutrition is common among Cambodian children – 45% are moderately or
severely underweight. 41% of the population has access to safe drinking water -
only , and have less access to clean
water. has the
highest under 5 mortality rate in the
and Pacific region. Some 61,000 Cambodian children died in 2005 before reaching
their fifth birthday.
Last year, while teaching English in , I ran in the Angkor Wat International Half
Marathon. I trained, it hurt, but I raised nothing.
You can see my time here: http://www.angkormarathon.org/en/record2008-half-men.html
This year, I plan to run it faster, and by doing so raise money for the 3
projects that we work with at Globalteer. The race is 7 weeks away
and now's the time to start asking you all for assistance. Globalteer is
fully dependent on the donations from volunteers that we place at our projects,
and also on funds raised by friends of Globalteer through fundraising events
such as this.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now.
Thanks,
Nick
