Other Program Activity
Other activities will likely include:
- Working at the Voluntary Development Poverty Children’s School where we built a new classroom last trip. Our work could include the teaching of English and computers(basic) and working in the library.
- Participate in a BTC-run cow bank program and micro lending program as well as Lisa’s bicycle program (Wheels for Learning http://bicyclesforcambodia.blogspot.com).
- Help in a rural village in Bakong to distribute food and clothes, which we will purchase there.
- Visit the Handicap International Prosthetic Clinic(artificial limbs) in Siem Reap and visit and participate in the Cambodian Landmine Museum and Relief Facility. (This should be of special interest to Rotarians because of our involvement in the landmine issue). Aki Ra, a former child soldier and now a deminer is the founder of the museum. He was recently chosen as one of the CNN 10 Top Heroes for 2010.
- Visit and help at several nearby orphanages and the nearby Rolous Primary School.
- We will mix and work with the local people to provide an insight into their culture.
- Have a few informal talks from local people.
