UFO Send Aid To Cambodia

Dear UFO Family,
 
Some nice news to start the week with ...
 
Many of you who came to our Cambodia meeting were touched by the conditions that the majority of children live and learn in. I know that many of you kindly helped during your stay in Siem Reap by taking bottled water, pens and donating equipment to the local schools.
 
I was also moved and when I came back to the UK, I decided to try and raise some funds for a particular school in a poor, rural village, away from tourists view (Sala Tessa School). 

 

The school provides free general education to 70 children, most of which are the local villager's children and some are from a local orphanage. The school was run in very poor conditions with not enough staff, tables, chairs, pens, book or uniforms.
 
Last year I completed a Sponsored Zorb with my eldest son Tom and we raised over US $4,000 for the school (read more).
 
This week we have more good news, it only took a little organisation and some valued support from UFO Members to transport 5 large boxes of clothes to the children at the school.
 
I collected children's clothes from the parents of my youngest son George's school in South England and after 5 large boxes were full, Bibby International Logistics Ltd, our UK Member kindly covered the expense and logistics costs of shipping the clothes to Cambodia, using World Transport Express, our Cambodia Member to arrange the clearance and final delivery.
 
I would like to say a personal thanks to Tim McFarland, Martin Pain and all at Bibby International for their support!
 
Charity often has to take a back seat during a global recession so I really do appreciate their help, and I know that the children at the school certainly appreciate it much more than me :)

Have a great week.
