My name is Luke Glover and I am a student at Thomas Bennett Community College in Tilgate, Crawley. I am participating in an expedition to Cambodia in the summer of 2017. This will be a four-week expedition and will include community development work, environmental projects and wildlife conservation. I am travelling via Camps International, which if you wish to find more information about them please visit their website.

The core objectives of this expedition are to undertake projects in order to:
• Raise the educational standards of developing communities within a rural district of Cambodia
• Raise the living standards of developing communities, within a rural district of Cambodia
• Assist with ongoing wildlife conservation programmes to preserve biodiversity and protect vulnerable habitats.

This expedition is extremely important to me because I feel that I will acquire and develop many important life skills including learning how the locals live and adapting to their way of life. The Kingdom of Cambodia is an enchanting country, with spectacular beauty and is famed for its captivating communities; however life is hard out there with impoverished living conditions and a lack of essentials which we take for granted. This is why I wanted to take part on this challenge and hopefully you’ll support me in this. The funds will be spent on pre-expedition support, flights and most importantly the project cost.
