Building a 4 classrooms school in Rural Village

Please help me reach my goal to raise the funds to build a primary school to educate roughly 200 students in a rural village in Cambodia's Siem Reap Province.
This school will be called "Char Primary School," located in Char village, Varin District, Siem Reap Province, Cambodia. These kids already have a school but it is very old and made of wood. Now the roof is leaking during the rainy season which lasts six months each year and during dry season it is very hot, this is not a good learning environment for the children.
It is about 70km away from Siem Reap town but it takes about 3 hours to get there since the roads are difficult to drive on. You can view the location here:

We plan to build the school in early 2020, the building process will take about three to five months. 

To raise the funds, I am planning a cycling trip to travel 1,500km in ten days starting 19th November through 28th November. It's a long-distance, traveling across the Cambodian countryside and into Vietnam. I will start at Angkor Wat and finish in Saigon, Vietnam. To accomplish my goal, I need $10 for every kilometer traveled.

In thanks and appreciation for your generosity, we are offering the following:
1. Donate $1,000 and you will name on school board & receive an Appreciation Certificate  from the District of Education Department 
2. Donate $500 and you will receive an Appreciation Certificate from the District Education Department, a traditional Cambodian Krama Scarf and black pepper from Kampot (known as world's best pepper) 
3. Donate $100 and you will receive a traditional Cambodian Krama Scarf & black pepper from Kampot

William  Morse
is my team who will withdraw the Fund. Bill is the President of the Landmine Relief Fund.  I know him since 2014, he always supports and finances my school building project in rural areas whenever I run out of resources since we have pretty much the goals to build schools in rural villages. There are 4 schools and trees projects in which I and Bill been cooperating together. 


Since 2014, I and my colleagues have been helping to build other Six  Primary Schools which are the first school in the villages, one computer club for 12 teachers & over 400 Students and planted over 80,000 Teaks & rosewoods across Cambodia. Here are what we have accomplished:  http://toasiatravel.com/companys-profile/giving-back-earth/
