ActionAid - Volunteers needed to help build a community centre
in Cambodia
Wednesday 15 January 2007: ActionAid
is seeking volunteers to help a poor village in Cambodia
build a much-needed community centre for children, women
and people living with HIV and Aids.
Readers can now sign up for the 2007 ActionAid Cambodia
Challenge, where they will work side-by-side with local
people to construct a vital building that will act as a
school, a surgery and a refuge.
>Cambodia has the highest percentage of people living
with HIV and Aids in Asia
>Nearly five million people live on less than 65p a day
>Over 95% of women in rural areas have no access to
medical care and over 180,000 children of primary school
age are not enrolled in school
The village community centre, which participants will
help build, will be crucial to solving these problems.
>It will provide a safe area for children to play and
take part in educational activities
>There will be health facilities and counselling
services, especially beneficial to women
>It will also act as a refuge in times of extreme need
for landless families, disabled people, and those living
with HIV and Aids.
For five days volunteers will be digging, laying bricks
and plastering. But no building experience is necessary.
In the evenings there will be the chance for the small
team to enjoy local music, dance, food and drink.
And after the challenge they can explore the charming
French colonial town of Siem Reap and the magnificent
temples of Angkor Wat.
Participants are required to pay a registration fee of
£300 and then raise around £3,200 in sponsorship. At
least 55 percent goes towards ActionAid projects and the
rest pays for the trip.
Jodie Cohen, ActionAid fundraising spokesperson, said:
“Charity adventures are a challenge, both mentally and
physically, testing people’s endurance to the limit. But
at the same time, they take people to some of the most
culturally rich places in the world and they leave with
a sense of achievement you don’t often get from a two
week package holiday.”
ActionAid is running 2007 fundraising challenges in the
following locations: Brazilian Rainforest, Indian
Himalayas, Peru Inca Trail, Tanzania Rift Valley,
Cambodia and Sri Lanka. More information is at
