Fund Raising for "My Volunteer Project to Cambodia" (REVISED)

*In reference to my previous post : http://phunkj.blogspot.com/2014/06/fund-raising-for-my-volunteer-project.html

Thanks to a timely piece of information from a friend, I have discovered the local NGO (non-governmental organisation) - The Trailblazer Foundation which is in partnership with Globalteer. The Trailblazer Foundation is the NGO in charge of the Clean Water Project.

I have checked out its website: http://www.thetrailblazerfoundation.org/#/welcome and its volunteer programme does not require any fees for its volunteers! However, volunteering with Trailblazer means that I would need to arrange my own personal accommodation and transportation, unlike the provided itinerary by Globalteer ( explained in my previous post ). Volunteering with Trailblazer would involve the same exact activities listed in my previous post, the only differences are no fees charged and accommodation and transportation are not provided by Trailblazer. ( I think I've said it twice, but I'd prefer to make it clear to you ).

After much consideration, I decide to sign up for the volunteer programme under The Trailblazer Foundation instead of signing up under Globalteer as Globalteer's target for my required donation is a tad too high to be raised within only a period of one week ( explained in my previous post too ).

Nevertheless, I'd still wish to raise funds for my Volunteer Project to Cambodia and here is my aim:

1. To donate ONE bio-sand water filter : USD 80 (equivalent to RM 257.12)
   This donation will go to The Trailblazer Foundation, specifically for this purpose (http://www.thetrailblazerfoundation.org/#/programs/bio-sand-water-filters)

Check out more information on how the bio-sand water filter works: http://www.cawst.org/en/resources/biosand-filter

     2. To cover the cost of my return flight tickets ( Kuala Lumpur - Siam Reap ) : RM 475

         This is the latest price of the air ticket I just checked on AirAsia's website, just a few seconds ago.

      3. To cover the estimated cost of my accommodation : RM 350

         I am still in the process of searching for the cheapest and the most convenient backpackers hostel and preferably the nearest to the Trailblazer office. I have browsed through a few hostels and found out that the average price per night is around USD 8. That is equivalent to RM 25 per night. Basically, I just need a bed to sleep on after a hard day's work in the field.

Hence, the total amount of my targeted funds is RM 1082.12

Any amount from RM 1, RM 5 , RM 10, RM 100, or any odd/even number you wish to donate is warmly welcomed ! If you wish to donate specifically for the bio-sand water filter but not for the cost of my travel expenses, or vice versa, or for both, just let me know !! 

Drop me a message on Facebook

( Date of travel would be : 7 July - 20 July 2014)
