Why do I want to embark on this journey?

I have always had the compassion in wanting to be part of the movement to end world poverty. I can sit here all day and talk about how poverty is unfair, that young kids deserve an education, or that gender inequality is immoral. But what good is that if I am not doing anything about it?

I went to India 2 years ago with World Challenge, blessed with the opportunity to observe first hand the injustice of a poverty stricken country. These people are just like us, with the only difference that they lack the opportunities we have in order to reach our best potential.

Cambodia is much the same. When I was offered the opportunity to go to Cambodia to learn more about World Vision's work, how could I say no! I've always wanted to know what more can I do? What can I do from home, from Australia, to in some way make an impact?

I am hoping that after this trip that will happen at Jan 2015, I will be able to gain a better insight of World Vision's projects and works, a better understanding of the impact and difference donated funds make in these communities, and hopefully to be able to figure out what everyday Australians can do more to help.

In saying so, I cannot do so without your help! $3000 is the target we have been set to fundraise per person. This $3000 does not go to my accommodation, activities or flight tickets (I will be paying for those out of my own savings), but it goes directly to the communities that we will be visiting.

The whole idea behind this 'Change for Cambodia' campaign is to spare some of your loose change for this very worthy cause! Much like the loose change menu at Mcdonalds, except this goes to a better purpose! Drink one less coffee a week, or eat in instead of out for a night, and lend a helping hand. Every dollar counts!

I'd like to thank you in advance for your support, kindness and generosity. I know there will be many of these! (:
