Positive Footprints - Cambodia

CAMBODIA | Friday, 6 February 2009 | Views [1330] | Comments [2]

Having watched every other amazing episode of Positive Footprints being shot, edited and pushed out to the world, I couldn't help but feel the need to be more involved.

After some budget bashing, unnecessary auditioning ( I so should've been in that unseen 'So you think you can beg for Cambodia trip' pilot) I packed up my bags to join a World Expeditions Community trip in Cambodia with 10 other committed travellers from around the globe.

Our goal - Restore the village school in Balang in 3 days
Our adversary - Stifling heat, monsoon rains, landmines 200 metres away, a nasty bout of gastro!

The project was driven with great passion and commitment on the ground from Human Translation, The Cambodian Orphan Fund and the amazing team of travellers who came aboard this project, from Canada, Australia and the UK. They sweated, toiled, and worked their butts off to get the job done. A truly magnificent bunch of people.

It was an amazing experience for me and I'm very proud to have been involved, representing WorldNomads.com and the 1,735 World Nomads who donated through our Footprints Program to help supply project materials.

Enjoy !

HI - my wife is Ethiopian - I would like to get a commision from a T.V company to film a documentary series on the negative and positive sides of Ethiopia -but with an emphasis on the positive side - the culture, country side etc. Ethiopa has such a bad image that is not justified - I would like to change the world sterio-view of Ethiopia in the hope of building its tourist trade and improving its economy just like Thialand did 30 years ago - we have a house in Ethiopia and one of my wifes cousins is a professional documentary maker in Ethiopia - we just need the funding - can any one help or advise. I live in the U.K - Mobile 07827 232 814. Regards Richard.
