Overseas Community Project October 2012, Prey Veng, Cambodia

On October 2012, we went to help an Orphanage at Prey Veng, Cambodia. Two teaching staff and 20 students went for this expedition. We stay at the orphanage for 6 days.

During the stay, we did the following projects:
1. Maintenance and Repair of solar lights
2. Install new alarm system at the office and French Mansion

3. Replace new roofing for the walkway

Solar Lights Maintenance

We had replaced several faulty lamps with new lamps. There are altogether 3 zones for the lighting. They are Dormitory Front (Zone 1), Domitory Back (Zone 2) and Office Area & Classrooms (Zone 3).





 

Installation of New Alarm System

We replaced the existing alarm system which comprises sensors and a control box. They are faulty. We have rewired and install new sensors at the office and PC lab, and also replaced new sensors along the corridors. Zone 1 comprises of Office and PC lab and Zone 2 indicates the corridors.

 

Replace Roofing at Walkway

The existing roofs at the walkways are old and need replacement. The students together with the orphanage staff did the new roofing for the walkways.

 

 

Interaction with the Orphans

The students manage to find some time to mingle with the childrens at the orphanage. They brought along some crayons, colour pencils and drawing papers for the childrens to colour.



And we had a cultural night with the childrens. We perform a song for them and they did a traditional dance.

We also tried their local food at near-by stall.

We brought over some old clothes and toys. We visited a village about one and a half hours away by vehicle from the orphanage and went from house to house to give away clothes and toys to the poor villagers.
