Raising money for

HOPE - Harnessing Opportunities through Play and Education

Charity Registration No. 1124372

With first hand experience volunteering in Cambodia the founding trustees set up HOPE to give the underprivileged children and young adults in Cambodia a chance to have a childhood and/or permanently improve their lives. HOPE intends to seek and support existing programs in Cambodia assisting young people with their education and social development where there is a need for further funding to expand either the variety of their activities (eg. provision of English classes or computer classes) or increase the number of young people they can support, where we strongly believe it will make a permanent difference/improvement to the young people in the programs, and where we can monitor the progress and results of the program. For further information please see www.hopeforcambodia.org.uk

My story

In December whilst those in the western world will be facing the thought of a few Saturdays left for christmas shopping, those of us in Cambodia will be contemplating another cycle challenge! The Angkor Bike Ride will be held on Saturday 5^th of December. This is a spectacular back drop for an awesome cycle ride.

During a recent visit to Cambodia, HOPE trustee’s presented to the young adults at Sangkheum Center for Children and enthused by their fundraising efforts the young adults also wanted to do something, not only to take on a challenge, but to help raise funds for themselves and the next generation of young adults. This has now become an exciting challenge for a team of young adults to train for the 30 KM cycle ride around their national symbol Angkor Wat and the complex of ruins in the Angkor archeological site. This bike ride has been made possible with the help from a generous donation of bikes by the Hotel de La Paix who ran a campaign with Mastercard and their kind guests.

Training has started with 19 young adults and educators from the center willing to participate. Follow their progress at www.hopeforcambodia.org.uk

If you would like to support the young adults in their challenge then please do so by donating through JustGiving.
