As some of you know, I am leaving for Cambodia on March 20th to volunteer with a Cambodian NGO called the Cambodian Rural Development Team (CRDT). This organization is trying to improve the living standards of subsistence communities in rural Cambodia by giving communities alternatives to support their ecosystems. The projects advise on renewable resources and appropriate agricultural technologies in order to help conserve the forest and prevent illegal poaching.
Since this organization is run primarily by Cambodians, my role will be to help staff learn English so that they can communicate their projects to the international organizations that fund them.
The organization asks that I pay for my flight, immunization shots (which are expensive and painful!) and daily expenses to the community that will be hosting me. Thankfully, they are not "charging" me to volunteer beyond those basics, but the cost of the trip will be between $2,500-$3,000. That's why I'm asking my friends and family for some help raising the money, and anything I raise above my expenses will go directly to CRDT.

Thanks!
