CHRIS Norris (pictured) will use a three-week trip to Phnom Penh,
Cambodia, to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate.
He is a part of a group of 15 from the Australian College of Physical Education (ACPE) who will deliver sports programs, conduct lessons in first aid and assist with the nightly food program at the Cambodian Children's Fund.
Mr Norris, who completes his studies in 2014, said there are many benefits for this ACPE cultural experience program trip which began on Sunday.
"I have done lot of community work locally but this is my first overseas program," Mr Norris, 22 of Riverstone, said.
"This will be a great experience and an opportunity to do something good and make a difference in these peoples' lives.
"I am doing this trip also for my late mother who has been my biggest influence.
"We will be running programs in six schools and also handing over sporting equipment worth $2,000 which have been donated by organisations, including Good Buddy.
"The main focus is to teach physical education to the students."
The group collected more than $17,000 from fund raising, with all the money going to the Cambodian program.
Norris, a member of the Riverstone Rangers Cricket Club and St Matthews Soccer Club, Castle Hill, also works as a research assistant for a marketing company
* The trip is from November 4-24.
