We are going half way around the world in a few months and needs your help to raise some money for this amazing trip.
In April 2010, a 16 member volunteer team will be traveling to Cambodia on a humanitarian mission for 2 weeks. This group of dedicated volunteers consists of nurses, police officers, paramedics, firefighters, a soldier and a doctor. All will be taking time off from work and paying their own way to go and make a difference in Cambodia.
While in Cambodia, the team will be doing the following:
- Organizing and running medical clinics in villages and orphanages
- Providing first aid training to staff members at schools and orphanages
- Delivering donated medical supplies from Canada to the children's hospital in Siem Reap
- Delivering donated school supplies from Canada
- Providing clean drinking water to villages
- Donating equipment to the firefighters in Cambodia
- Painting Schools
History of Cambodia:
Cambodia is still struggling after the Khmer Rouge regime killed over 1.5million people in the late 1970's. There are still landmines and unexploded ordinances littering the country which causes many injuries and deaths every year.
