Hi guys, I get the information from Prof Chui last saturday regarding her school in Cambodia. Need some feedback from you all.
She said basically if we go there we are not under any organisation and subsequently the cost will be much lower.
Next is what we can do here and there.
1) Collect school bags for the children there because they dont have proper school bags. Maybe we can have a bags donation drive to collect all the bags for them.
2) Solving the electricity problem in the school. Because the villagers and schools cannot afford to buy the kerosine for generators, we can come out with an idea of effective way to generate electricity for them? Solar power? Dunno. It is all depend on us and it is a challanging one.
3) Teaching villagers to do handicraft for them to sell it to earn income. For this we need the help from those that have creative mind.
4) Paint and decorate the school. This is labour job.
5) Free eye checking for the villagers.
As the Vision for project LOVE is Make a Difference, we should do something that they can't do and not the thing that they can do themselves. For the transfer of school bags and other essential things from here to there, dont worry Prof Chui have a contact that can fly those thing for us by using air cargo FREE.
For accomodation, actually they are doing homestay there which is developed by the contact person there as a source of income for the villagers. So we will probably stay there but don't expect to have aircon and hot shower. Do expect to have some bugs at night. We will really to have kampung life there.
Adrian will try to ask the contact from prof Chui regarding the contact person there and see whether she got any other projects interesting for us.

The trip to Cambodia is a more feasible plan compare to other plan because we got the direct contact with the local, hence this will bring down the cost for the trip. But, we need to come out with a more concrete idea that can really benefit the people there.
The comment for the points:
1) can achieve easily
2) nice idea but we must study the possibility on whether we can achieve it or not
3) We must come out with a handicraft that does not demolish their culture
4) i believe the villagers there can do a better job than us! Maybe can paint a mural, to beautify their school
5) we need a professional to help us complete the job, maybe we can have the body check up for them.
