Story
I have been volunteering in a school as an English teacher in a village near Siem Reap in Cambodia. I learnt very quickly that many kids do not attend school because their homes are too far from the school. My Cambodian friend Kim who is also a teacher has been creating projects to help kids education in his local area. One of the projects is called 'The Village Bicycle Project'. Through this project, kids are given bicycles so that they can attend school and get a proper education. One bicycle only costs £33!
The school year started in November 2017 and many kids are still not at school. So please help these kids get to school by buying a bicycle for £33.
Above is a photo of me with some of the students at Trakiet Middle School.

THANKS very much to all those who have supported! l know January and February are tough months after Christmas. For those WHO STILL WISH TO DONATE, THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT YOU STILL CAN! JUST £5/$5/ helps! This is something really personal to me and your money is going direct to the students I taught. This is not going into a pot and disappearing into another charity. I appreciate everyone donates to different charities but this is ONE OFF for the year. PLEASE DIG DEEP AND GIVE A LITTLE SOMETHING! Thank you! :)
