Garage sale for Cambodian schools raises over $5,500
Wow! What a record-breaking Giant Garage Sale it was.
Just over $5,500 was raised for latrines and wells for two Banyan Learning Tree School building sites in rural villages in Takeo province, Cambodia. The sale took place on July 9-10 at the Gravenhurst Curling Club.
It would not have been possible without all of the dedicated volunteers and donors who made this A Mine Free World Foundation sale the success it was. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
It was a lot of work, but rewarding work, because many children in these Cambodian villages will benefit from hygienic toilets and clean water at these two schools.
A huge thanks goes to Jay and Linda Harrison who helped so much to organize this sale, to Dan Blix for all the graphic work, to the Gravenhurst Curling Club for letting us fill their rink with stuff and to Muskoka’s wonderful publications for their support.
We raised more than what we needed for the projects at hand. With the extra we raised, Thoun, a bright 18-year-old disabled student in the small village of Pheam in Siem Reap Province, Cambodia will be starting a weekend school for young children in his village.
He receives educational support from A Mine Free World Foundation and has been waiting for the opportunity to “give back” by helping young children in his village receive extra help with their studies.
Please keep tuned to our website at www.aminefreeworld.org for updates on the latrines, wells and the weekend school project in Pheam village.
Thank you for all your time, muscles, gasoline, garage space and wonderful donations.
