Hey Guys. It has been a long time since Cambodia but last night we held a little fund-raising raffle at a party at the umi Hotel in London. All in all we have raised £200 which has been split between the 5 Charities I visited in Siem Reap! It was great and from my personal visits there I really know that the money will help the local people of Cambodia. We also put together a little montagey video of my trip to Cambodia which you can click on here —>Cambodia Cambodia. I hope you enjoy. If you forgot which charities they were … Here they are:

Sala Bai Hotel School www.salabai.com

Trailblazer www.thetrailblazerfoundation.org

Globalteer Sunday Football League www.globalteer.org/globalteer-soccer-league.html

ABC Rice School www.abc-rice.com

Grace House Community Centre www.gracehousecambodia.org

Off to St. Petersburg to visit a client of our with umi Marketing to take some snaps of the city and the Hostel so hope to share those with you next week.
