Hello Project Enlighten supporters, I wanted to give you all a quick update on what has been transpiring since I
arrived in Cambodia almost one week ago today. I hit the road running so to speak, over 20 Rotarian’s from
Toronto, Canada had arrived to work side by side with local villagers to start construction on two buildings on
our Bankong Technical College Project.
We are so thankful for
the partnership with
Toronto Rotary, this
has been a very
successful venture. A
big thank you to Lisa
McCoy, Ronnie
Yimsut, Yarann ,
Saeng and our scholarship recipients Naret, Khmera
and Channy and many others, who have been
working tirelessly behind the scenes to make this
happen. Thank you!
As in any project in a third world country, obstacles
are sure to be present, we are not immune. There
have been delay’s in receiving our permits, but we
have forged forward with Toronto Rotary to focus on
other PE projects in the interim. Rotarians have been
volunteering at PE sponsored Volunteer
Development Children’s Association school.
Working to organize the library, teaching English
and drawing up plans to build a Teachers conference
room, plus fixing plumbing issues and building book
cases. Rotary has also been visiting and teaching at
the Cambodian Landmine Museum.
I was fortunate to be able to bring over several boxes
of books that were handed out to Mr. Togh and the
children at VDCA. This is such a priceless gift for
the children. Thank you so much Kristina and Thu
for these cherished books! If anyone has more books
they would like us to bring to our students in
Cambodia, Laos or the Burmese Refugee Camps
please send us an email and we can work out the
details! Simple gift with high reward!
This will be the first of many updates as we have so
much to share with you all. News on our Scholarship
students and
coordinator, BTC,
and a new
opportunity
developing in Laos!
As always we cannot
do what we do
without your valued
donations. Even $10 buys bricks for our schools and
school supplies. Together we can make a difference!
More coming......
