Races clean yields over $3k for Cambodia projects

Good afternoon everyone. Just a quick shout out to our band of dedicated volunteers who pitched in with the recent Kangaroo Island Racing carnival clean-ups in aid of our Cambodian humanitarian projects.

We had an amazing participation rate across the three days of the event and consequently finished the job in record time, whilst raising some impressive funds for our activities on the ground in Andong and Oddar Meanchey slum villages.

The combination of the fee the Racing Club pays us for our services, along with the proceeds of the 10c refund containers that we sort out at the clean ups, will inject over $3200 into our Cambodia projects working account.

To put this into perspective this amount of money will just about cover the nutritious meals we serve to each and every one of our 1200 slum village students at our two schools for an entire month. For most of these kids it's the only proper meal they will have for the day so it's vital for their health and also concentration levels in the classrooms.

We would love for you to consider partnering with us in an array of great projects across two of Cambodia's poorest provinces by making a tax deductible donation today (or any day). You can contribute directly into our Australian working account ‘Supporting Cambodia’ BSB: 015-600 Account: 1967 91878 (Please include your name and email address in the transaction for a tax receipt) or with a credit card on our donation page.

Thanks again for your ongoing support,

Rob

Rob Ellson was one of a group of 15 Kangaroo Islanders who visited Cambodia for the first time in 2009. Witnessing a struggling community of more than 1,000 displaced people greatly impacted all of the Kangaroo Island group. After returning home to Kangaroo Island, Rob couldn't let go of the needs of those families.  Over the coming months and subsequent visits back to Cambodia he founded ‘Kangaroo Island Supporting Cambodia’.
