On a visit to the CCDO in February, one of our members \u2013 Carole &#8211; spoke to village women who are turning their lives around and raising themselves up out of grinding poverty. She saw their children attending school and witnessed the pride, new-found confidence and sheer joy in the women\u2019s faces as they described their achievements and future hopes.<\/p>\n<p>She spoke of how moving and humbling it was, and she was also very impressed by the dedication and commitment of the all-Cambodian CCDO ground team. She wanted to help and SI Chester was immediately supportive. Women and girls&#8217; education being a top priority for Soroptimists, we asked CCDO about sponsoring a young woman through higher education and they soon found a deserving candidate.<\/p>\n<p>Chanta is a bright, promising high school student who desperately wants to go to university. This is completely out of her reach since her widowed mother\u2019s only income to support the family is from selling mangoes at the market. Giving a girl like Chanta a university education will have a knock-on effect throughout her community. Not only will her future and that of her extended family be financially secure. The skills she learns will be passed on to others, she will be an inspiration to other young women and potentially open up new opportunities in education.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We will be carrying out a range of fundraising activities over the next few years, and the first activity is a walking challenge \u2013 a range of members, plus their friends and family members, have challenged themselves to each walk 100 miles in May.\u00a0 The participants range in the 50s, 60s and 70s, fitting in long walks around work and other commitments.\u00a0 We have set up a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justgiving.com\/crowdfunding\/carole-rivers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">JustGiving Page<\/a> and it would be wonderful if you could sponsor us, and help make Chanta&#8217;s dream a reality.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group of our Club members are each walking 100 miles in May to
