Crayons for Cambodia
Two University of Otago finalists are travelling to Cambodia this summer to volunteer with orphans and underprivileged children. The two law students are currently fundraising for their trip, which aims to provide Cambodian children with desperately needed school supplies and uniforms.
One of the trip’s organizers, Brooke White, told Critic she was moved to act when she discovered that “Cambodian children cannot attend school without a uniform, which costs just $10 NZD. We figured at the end of years of education ourselves the least we could do is help some kids go to school when they otherwise wouldn’t have the chance.”
All funds raised are going directly to the children of Cambodia. Details on how to donate or get in touch with the organisers of Crayons for Cambodia can be found on their Facebook page, or on their blog at crayons4cambodia.blogspot.com
