Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit our Dragon Boat Fundraising page.

Sadly, young adults continue to be exploited and abused in the tourist town of Siem Reap and in many cases by people they trust.

HOPE supports grassroot projects which allows vulnerable young adults to make positive choices about their own futures, whereby they can harness opportunities through play and education.

Dragon boat racing has long traditions in Cambodia with people from all over the country celebrating the Cambodian Water Festival (Bon Om Tuk), we see this as a fun way to combine fundraising and celebrating Cambodian culture.

On behalf of all the young adults and local grass-roots projects supported by HOPE, many big, warm thanks to all the paddlers, bakers, jam makers, fundraisers and those who have donated to the tombola. Awkun ch'ran thom thom.

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.
