In July I am going to Cambodia on a 4 week expedition to try and help the local community. I am going to be travelling and working with Camps International, a well established charity that specialises in working with local people on sustainable projects, which can have a lasting impact on living conditions for the community. We may also take part in habitat restoration by planting trees to encourage endangered species to return to their original habitat. As one of the poorest countries in the world, young children and families are very vulnerable to increasing poverty. To assist with this we may help to develop schools and teaching facilities.

To go on this life changing expedition I have to raise £3850. One third of this cost goes directly to the charity, and the rest supports my trip. I have been raising money by doing babysitting, selling cakes, helping with party catering, washing cars, and making and selling greetings cards. I am nearly there but still have £1000 to raise to enable me to take part in this unique community project.

Any support you are able to give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Ella
