WhenYouthTakesAction Project in Siem Reap - August 6-7, 2011


On 5th-8th August 2011, a group of the organizing Team of Undergraduate State Alumni Cambodia (USAC) spent their precious time on the journey to Siem Reap province to conduct WhenYouthTakesAction project at Somdach Ov High School under main theme of Volunteerism.

We have met the selected 30 outstanding students during the time of the project. My position during the trip was the finance person so I learn quite a lot regarding the budget spending and how to manage it wisely. FYI, we all are the volunteers to involve in this project.. :) We felt very good to see many active and young potential students in this province. Indeed, we really appreciate for what we have done.

Well to brief, this AEIF project (Alumni Engagement Innovation Funds) has 3 phases while this Siem Reap trip is in Phase 1 to select 10 potential students from each province to involve in Phase 2 and 3 so that they can be dependent to take their own actions with the giving amount of funds to help their community. The program consists of lecture on volunteerism, personal experience in volunteering, team building activities, field visit to an NGO on volunteering activity, debating skill and project development. 12 organizers for this trip are all the alumni coming from 3 different programs namely Study of the United States Institute (SUSI), the Undergraduate Intensive English Language Study Program (UIELSP), and the Global Undergraduate Program (UGRAD). We were very enthusiastic with this workshop by having an energetic and active students involving in our workshop.
