Helen Dickson is a team member of Jodi, Wendy, Sharon & Helen, and is participating in MAD Campaign: Filters for Cambodia
and is fundraising for Water for Cambodia

Bring clean water to rural villages in Cambodia! We are raising funds and joining a group of volunteers (June 2015) installing life saving BioSand water filters around Siem Reap.

My Story

Hi, thank you for visiting the fundraising page for Jodi, Wendy, Sharon and Helen. 

We are travelling to Siem Reap in June as part of a volunteer group organised by MAD where we will be installing BioSand water filters in rural communities. MAD is partnering with Water For Cambodia (WFC), a local Cambodian NGO that has already installed over 12,000 BSF type water filters in rural Cambodia. Each filter costs USD100 and is able to support one family for up to 20 years. For more information please visit the MAD website [http://www.themadexperience.com]. Please note the trip is 100% self funded...and yes, we will be getting our hands dirty!

To help raise as much money as possible for this amazing organisation, we have each chosen to undertake a 5k run / walk in the hope you will feel further inclined to sponsor us. Jodi, Wendy and Sharon will take part in the Colour My Heart Run on 24 May 2015 in KL. As Helen has now left KL and is in Muscat, Oman she will also undertake a 5k walk there, no doubt along the beach!

Through simplygiving.com you can make safe and secure donations to sponsor this social project. The proceeds of your support are immediately sent directly to the organisation - Water for Cambodia. Using this given platform is really simple and most importantly it's also a really cost efficient way for the organisation to raise funds.

From all of us, thank you in advance for any donation you give. Every little helps! ;)

    One cannot change the whole world, but one can change the world of many individuals and that is what you are doing, When running think that you are with high heels so you put your toes first to enable walking abilities the next day. Good to know that I will have a new running partner for an easy 25k. Randall

    "If there is a will, there's a way". You are making the way by using your will to help those in need of water =) As for the 5k run/walk think to yourself it is either the finish line or the ambulance so get to that finish line! Love you lots, love your proud eldest daughter, Jemma =)
