2010 Goodwill Trip : Cambodia

Year after year , our beloved Rotaract Club of Universiti Teknologi Petronas extends a helping hand to countries in need in the way that we can. Last year we had a great trip in India. This year, we're heading for Angkor , Cambodia.

Come this December, we're targeting to have the participation of 20 members in a Goodwill Trip to Angkor, Cambodia. An eight day program that will surely allow the members to reap lots of benefits from the trip.

With goodwill at heart, our main aim will be helping a primary school , Ta Phang primary school. A school situated in rural Cambodia. The school has no electricity or clean water. In Cambodia, 1/3 child does not live up to the age of 5 because of the absence of clean water. If funds permit, we plan to help them obtain a pump to pump water into a sand filter. The sand filter of course is not like the ones we have in our water treatment plants but a simpler version that is better than not having any filtration at all.

Activities would include teaching, simple repairs, mural painting and such at the school. Don't worry, we'll get to see some wonders of Cambodia as well. A remain of the great Khmer Empire, the Angkor Wat and it's temples will be on the itinerary list. Tonle Sap is also in. Tonle Sap, Asia's biggest lake.

The trip promises to be an eye opening experience for all the participants. Don't miss out on a chance to help other people in need.


Start saving , start thinking. You can be the change you want to see in yourself. Ask not what others can do for you but what you can do for others. Join in the fun while doing goodwill in Cambodia. For enquiries, please mail
