Here is the project description:
We are SEALNet Cambodia and we are here in Phnom Penh to improve water quality to underserved communities in Cambodia.
Cambodia has the highest infant and under-five mortality rates in Southeast Asia, 97 and 141 per 1,000 live births, respectively. Dirty, diseased water leads to a cycle of poverty, sickness and inability to develop. We hope that by empowering the youth here, we can together help to fill this gap.
What is the goal of the project? Our goal is to increase health awareness as widely as possible near Phnom Penh to create a new culture of creative sustainability. We believe if everyone contributed ideas in creative ways we can reduce the incidence of diarrhea.
Why should I participate in the project? By planting the seeds of giving, you are connecting with the rest of the Cambodian community that is less fortunate. You are giving people hope that young people in Phnom Penh want a sustainable future. You will learn to take initiatives in an effort to help the underserved, such as health advocacy campaigns and fundraising. You will learn about the basic sciences behind the current water filtration systems. The simple act of help a community make a small step toward wellness is a good beginning to learning the significance volunteerism makes.
I'm a student and want to introduce the project to my class. Students are encouraged to spread the word. We can provide some curriculum ideas to get you started. We also go into your classrooms to help you implement the project.
How long is the project? Student will be meet with us in a classroom setting for 2 hours per day from (Mon, Tues and Friday of the week) and for 2 full day on the weekends for 3 weeks.
What skills do I need for this project? You should be proficient in English and have a passion in helping underserved communities.
Tell us in a few sentences (less than 500 characters) are interested in this. Be creative!~~
