Let's get started!

Tuk Tuk loaded with friends and supplies!

We spent the last few days preparing to leave for the village to set up our children's library. Our wonderful friends, Sambo, Nin, and Sarat helped us negotiate the bustling streets and markets of Phnom Penh to find the best prices on art, school, and office supplies. 

Sambo and Chris browse Khmer to English dictionaries and English Language Learner Dictionaries.

We found some great deals on supplies here, for example, a box of 144 pencils costs just $5USD 


For $20USD, fifty five young students will each be gifted a new composition book.

With everything packed into the taxi, Chris and Nin are ready to go first to the village! 

In other exciting news our first volunteer, Koji, just arrived from Seattle. He graciously carried 100 more donated children's books in his suitcase for our library! 


Koji will stay until mid 2015 working with The Antipodes Collective on a variety of projects involving teaching art, English, graphic design and video.
