Multiple filming trips to Cambodia
Donation protected
I'm a 51 year old, photographer & videographer who has begun to 'put a bit back'. The video above is a short sampler of the work I am currently doing voluntarily.
In June '15 I accidentally descovered Cambodia (it's a long story). Since that first visit I have returned many times and, at the begining of 2016 became involved in a charity project which has re-housed some 200 people who had suffered violent eviction by land developers in Phnom Penh. Seven years later - and thanks to some visionary hard work, this community is on the brink of becoming self sustainable, able to feed & educate itself and living in their own (self constructed) houses.
My role over there is to produce video for the NGO to use in its fundraising and awareness programmes. I am currently editing, producing shorts on various subjects - this uses all my spare time and resources.
Whilst I have self funded all my trips over there, this cost is becoming increasingly dificult to foot alone, particularly given the amount of time I spend away - unable to earn.
I'm at the stage where I really need some assistance and am looking to raise any part of £1400 .
I hope you can tell from my age and profile that this isn't a 'gap-year finding myself' trip but genuine hard work. For example, In November 2016 I produced a short film showing the aftermath of a fire which destroyed seven families homes. That one days work raised almost $6,600. The homes are re-built and the families moved back in to brand new houses the first week in January. It shows how effective it can be and how every penny you are able to donte can multiply itself many times. That video was one of 20 or so that are currently in production for the NGO.
The community is at the tipping point of becoming self sustainable and the ability to be able to work towards helping them achieve that goal would make a monumental difference to so many lives and futures.
I thank you in advance for whatever assistance you may be able to offer. Handshake.
(The NGO looking after the project has its own fundraising in place which I do not want to detract from, hence I make this request on a different platform. Should you prefer to donate directly to them, their web link is in the bottom left of my sample video).
Many thanks in anticipation.
