Hello,
Our
names are Lyheang Hught and Teavyuok To Prum. We are the founders of
The Khmer Student Foundation. We are a
non- profit organization dedicated to help improve the lives of the people of
Cambodia. We are a fairly new charity
foundation, but have already made a difference in many lives, over the past
year. Our last event, we dug three ponds
for the people of KORKKRORL VILLAGE, KORKDONG COM, ANGKORCHUM DIST, SIEM REAP
PRO, CAMBODIA. It is currently being
used for hydrating crops and various household chores. We are now in the process of digging a fourth
pond.
The
water in the ponds is not safe for drinking just yet. It will take a few years for the dirt to
settle and to raise enough funds to build pumps into the ponds for filtration. Until then, we would like to raise funds to
purchase individual water filters for each of the 136 families living in the KORKKRORL
VILLAGE, KORKDONG COM, ANGKORCHUM DIST, SIEM REAP PRO, CAMBODIA. This event is inspired by a generous man
named Daren, who donated $20 to a newborn baby to purchase a water filter for
safe drinking water. Our donors from the US and Daren and his friend from
Australia have helped us successfully make it happen.
We have spent $300 for 1,200 meters of pipes, for water to flow
through to another village. The
villagers of KORKKRORL VILLAGE, KORKDONG COM, ANGKORCHUM
DIST, SIEM REAP PRO, CAMBODIA, were a great help in
this process, but it is still incomplete.
We need at least 2,000 meters for it to work correctly. We will also need to purchase a water storage
tank to hold the distributed water.
We are now starting to build Community water filters. They cost
$390 each and we would like to have three built in the village. The total cost
needed is $1,170. Because of Daren Beazley and his friends and family, we are
able to start building the water filters.
Thank you so much to the family and friends for their generous donations
listed below:
$1,000 Beazley Family
$ 400 Malcolm Family
$ 400 Canning Family
$ 400 McGree Family
$ 200 Miles Family
$ 100 Rob Chomicz

While
completing these current projects, we are also starting another one as
well. We will be accepting donations to
help build community restrooms for the people of KORKKRORL
VILLAGE, KORKDONG COM, ANGKORCHUM DIST, SIEM REAP PRO, CAMBODIA. The cost of the restrooms will approximately
be $500 each. The villagers are excited
to starting working on this project so we will start building with the extra
budget we have now. We are hoping to
raise enough funds to build five restrooms.
We are
currently accepting donations. Please
find it in your hearts to donate to the families of KORKKRORL VILLAGE, KORKDONG
COM, ANGKORCHUM DIST, SIEM REAP PRO, CAMBODIA; every amount will make a
difference!
Thank
you in advance for your contribution.
Sincerely,
