Cambodia: Village & Elephant Program

$27 of $2,110 goal
Given by 3 generous donors in around 6 months

I'm a University student trying to get to Cambodia where I can make a big difference!

Auckland

Here's a quick summary of what I'll be doing:

For my first week in Cambodia, I'll be helping repair schools and houses in villages (with some help from locals, local businesses, and other ROVolunteers)

Then we'll be learning how to prepare lunches with the community!

After which we'll be working with other village schools by helping them teach vital English skills and just playing sports with them. I wasn't the best in English, but I sure would love to help with everything I know to help the kids get far in life.

That's just what I'll be doing for the first week in my voluntary work in Cambodia!

For the second week, we'll be helping mistreated elephants, by planting food, harvesting ones that have grown, feeding them, and then bathing them! we'll also be working with other animals in the sanctuary. Then we set out to get orange cloth's to be blessed by monks so that they could be tied around trees so loggers will be hesitant to cut them down. Deforestation is a big no-no for the elephants!

Ivan Latorre's involvement (page creator)

I got involved into this because of a presentation from a ROVolunteer who talked about a lot of beautiful places with beautiful people that need our help!

Use of funds

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
