Charity Cambodia

Tuesday we went to the center in Stueng Hav to deliver the playground equipment the last part of our donations covered. Our donations covered one large climbing playground and one smaller piece for a total price of USD 360. Please find the receipt of the equipment here. Three more smaller pieces donated by other persons are yet to be delivered. At the same time a new swing was delivered although I was not involved in the funding of this.

 

My brother, Anders, joined along to Stueng Hav during the delivery. On the pictures neither part was cemented yet but the children was still eager to play with the equipment. Later, after we left the parts were cemented to the ground.

Here is the larger piece:

 

The planned delivery to Stueng Hav yesterday has been postponed until Tuesday Feb 28^th. The M'lop Tapang organization will have a carnival in Sihanoukville next week and therefore our delivery have been postponed since they needed time for planning this.

 

Thursday this week we made a another beachtrip with children who wasn't with us last time. Salla, a friend from Finland, also joined the trip. Unfortunately I forgot my camera this time but I got 2 pictures sent to me by Sabine when we were decorated by the findings in the ocean.

 

 

The situation regarding the lease of the land where the Center in Stueng Hav operates have been solved in a positive way. This means the plan with the playground is back on track. The playground is being constructed by the organization M'lop Tapang. This means the funds used to buy the playground also supports an organization working with kids. To create job opportunity for this organization is an extra positive effect here. Our plan is to deliver the playground on Friday February 17^th. Of course I will document the delivery and bring you pictures and information here on the blog when delivered.

 

As I mentioned earlier I still have SEK 2500 to donate for a project. My plan has been to support the center in Stueng Hav with a playground. However have this been stalled at the moment due to uncertainty regarding the lease of the land. Perhaps the center needs to be moved to a land where the playground will not be suitable. I am waiting for further information.

As I am planning to return to Sweden in March this blog will then be laid on ice. The blog will still be here but without updates. Before this I will of course let you know where the SEK 2500 will be used as well as other information.

If you have any questions or any further information you would like to receive before I go back please don't hesitate to contact me.

Even though my blog will turn inactive when I leave for Sweden there will still be a source to gain information about The Goodwill Center since Sabine have started a blog where news will be updated. Please have a look at:
