Hello everyone,
I'm Jun a 29 year old girl from Barcelona. I've been living in SE Asia for the past 5 years and I've been planning a new project I'd like to develop in Cambodia.
Basically I'm part of the humanitarian aid committee in SE Asia and I've been working with different NGO's. I realised tho a lot of them focus their efforts in children and young learners (schools, orphanages...) but I don't really see many helping out teenagers or the youth in terms of education. At least in Cambodia I'm only aware there's a local NGO without many resources focused in that area.
Together, with a friend of mine, we would like to open a higher education school where students from 15 to 18 years old could apply to study for free one of our 3 different courses and live within the community with all expenses covered.
I'd like to know if any of you have any experience in this field or at least any contacts that could be handy to have. We are planning on visiting Cambodia and deciding the location soon. At the moment we are getting sponsors and funding for the project but any help or tips would be great to have
Regarding the location, let's see if maybe you could recommend me a place where you think we could build the school and the community surrounding it to host the students. It would be handy to have a direct road connexion to Phnom Penh but personally I'd like to build all of this up near the sea. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help!!
