St Peter’s Catholic College, Tuggerah 2012 Cambodia Trip on behalf of the Tabitha Foundation

Trip Objective 22 students will be travelling to Cambodia with the intention to build approximately 11 houses for Cambodians who are living in impoverished areas with the intention to improve their livelihoods.

What is Tabitha? Tabitha is a non-profit organisation with all funds used to help the poorest people in Cambodia by running self-help programs focusing on personal and financial development and community pride. The house building program began in 1996 with a focus on International schools.

The Building Process

Who Will Build the Houses? The students themselves will partake in the building of these houses along side the family members who will be living in the house after we leave. The relationships that the students develop with the local Cambodian people is a life changing experience for all involved.

Before building can occur the money needs to be raised for the cost of each house. Each house will cost $1,500 Plus a $2,000 gratitude donation Totalling $18,500

Fundraising So far, students have begun their journey towards Cambodia through a variety of different fundraisers, including – Raffles Mufti Days BBQs Taste Testings
