Volunteers sought to build home in Cambodia

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

The concept is good, but how much do they actually cost to build.....??

An Aussie bloke is doing a similar thing in Fiji:

Tin roof, no ceiling or insulation. Shit, that must be a hot box. :!:
he probably posted those pictures on facebook to get likes

and to add insult to injury he gave them the smallest tv he could find and stuck it hi up on the wall!

bastard
Yes that TV is way too high. How come you don't tell them to lower down their TV Duncan?





Simple reason,,, little kids have dirty grubby hands. Who wants the job of cleaning the tv screen every time you want to watch it.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

I know a Khmer chap who worked for Habitat a few years ago, he thought there was corruption. But that would be hard to avoid of course.

The interesting feature of the modular houses in Fiji is that they are designed and built to
be typhoon-proof. It's not something that people here have to contend with.

While on the subject of which charities are deserving and which are less so, these people
are believed to be 200% above suspicion:

It is - of course - nonsensical for a retired school librarian to fly half way around the planet
to play at being a carpenter's helper, but s/he prefers to do that than stay at home and
raise funds.

This sounds like a great business opportunity. Ten people at $650 for two weeks, materials $2000. Profit $4500.
