RETIRED...to Peace Corps!
UncaBuffalo:
I just found an easy way to send a little bit more money to Appropriate Projects to help in Cambodia. There's a search engine, GoodSearch.com, that donates a penny for every search you make. Just pick Water Charity (Appropriate Projects' parent organization) as your charity when you sign up.

They have some other connected websites, like GoodShopping.com, that make larger donations, but I haven't played with them enough to recommend them yet.

Cool article. Thanks! :)
I saw them using those up by Battambang, but didn't get to ride them...none down south where I was.

Again, kudos to everyone who chipped in on the Appropriate Projects/Water Charity projects. :)
We were so successful that we attracted the attention of a large donor, WHOLE WORLD Water, who has given $10,800 specifically to continue projects like we started in Cambodia (and a total of $75,000 for projects worldwide)!
http://watercharity.org/node/417
We are pleased to announce the implementation of the Water Charity WHOLE WORLD Water Program – Cambodia.
In partnership with WHOLE WORLD Water, the program will be carried out by Water Charity, in coordination with the United States Peace Corps, to provide running water for people in rural areas of Cambodia.
The program is a concentrated effort to build new water projects in areas of great need. In its initial phase, 6 new projects will be implemented in various locations in Cambodia, and will directly benefit at least 1,800 people.
The program will focus on all aspects of supplying drinking water, with the allied objective of also providing water for sanitation, hygiene, and agriculture. Benefits will be sought in reducing morbidity and mortality, improving quality of life, improving food security, and providing economic benefits for direct participants and the community at large.
THANKS AGAIN! The seeds you planted continue to grow...and attract more funding!
:)
