SOUR SDEY!
In December of this year, Steven and I will be travelling to Cambodia's poorest areas to Volunteer with Reach Out Volunteers but we need your help!
Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in Asia and life is tough for most of the population. The decades of war, the land mines together with poverty and disease mean that Cambodians face a large number of challenges.
It is for this reason and as Cambodia is the birthplace of my parents that we've decided to do what we can in these villages.
We have chosen the 'Cambodian Elephant Program' where we will firstyly spending time at an elephant refuge in Eastern Cambodia and help provide a home for displaced, mistreated and unemployed elephants that are too expensive for their former owners to maintain.

The next we will be working at Kro Bei Riel Village building homes for families in need, repairing housing and village infrastructure.
We will be
installing water pumps and other community facilities and
teaching groups of children and young adults in arts and crafts, sport, recreation, agriculture and to advance their English
skills which will open doorways to employment opportunities for them!
While this is all really exciting, its going to cost us almost $2,000 EACH to fund the program alone. That's why, as poor uni students, we'd love for you to help us get over there :)
We've set up a PayPal account called Jo + Steve Volunteer for Cambodia and you can support us by clicking the 'Donate' button we so awesomely created for all you grown ups with flashy credit and debit cards ^_^!
Of course there are other alternatives if you don't have one such as bank transferring or the good old meet and donate :D This way we can thank you in person and give you a little token of our appreciation :)
