The Latest News - June 6th 2008

Well as always there is much to report from the Tiger Foundation. On May 23rd the first Tiger Foundation project took place at the Aknuwat Primary School in Kampong Thom.

It was a blast, hundreds of people turned up from all quarters. There was a bunch of volunteers from Singapore, China, Australia and Cambodia. Hundreds of school children, their parents as well as many village folk. Our friends from DHL in Phnom Penh all arrived as scheduled to assist. The school is now looking much cleaner.

Over the coming months many more activities will take place at the school in Cambodia. We are now working on various construction related projects, the new library, the flood prevention system, the gardens, the development of the pond at the school as well as the painting of the school.

My good friend Kenny will relocate from Australia to live in Kampong Thom in August. Kenny will be our man on the ground. He will be responsible for managing all of the Tiger Foundations projects as they happen as well as to welcome volunteers who are coming for various events.

The Tiger Foundations website will be launched in July. Our web lady Katherine is working hard in putting some great ideas together so that we have a user friendly web environment.

Over the coming months you to can help out either by coming to Cambodia or supporting one of our country organizations.

To be put in touch with your local Tiger Foundation team simply send an email to philpott.mark@gmail.com and I will make sure you get looked after.


Bye for now,

Mark
