Working in co-operation with Cambodia Rural Students Trust (CRST),
17 Rotary Volunteers will travel to Siem Reap in January 2025. The
volunteers include 5 young University teaching students to experience the
power of Rotary international community service as guests of our young
host club, the Rotaract Club of Siem Reap. All volunteers are paying their
own way and have personally contributed to fundraising.
The project provides community needs such as bicycles, solar lighting,
desks (see photos below), study materials and sporting equipment to
support education for primary and secondary students in Siem Reap, one
of the poorest regions of Cambodia. A scholarship has also been granted
for a disadvantaged student to attend university. The team will assist
teachers and mentor students to build skills and self-determination,
guided by Rotaract Club of Siem Reap members.
