In the lead-up to the trip students pitched in to wash teacher cars to raise funds for a Cambodian school for disadvantaged children associated with the Volunteer Development Cambodia Association. The target was $AUD100 to buy 100 new text books for the Cambodian kids - things come cheaper in Cambodia! It was a fun affair with fantastic input from members of 11 Quinn among others.
The car wash ran through a lunch time. At first the list of cars seemed daunting when we looked at the group of few readying themselves to take up the sponges and chamois. However, as the lunch progressed, the list of able washers increased, much to the delight of the original few.
With the bell to end lunch came the final car to wash. And by now the numbers had dwindled down to the original few once more. The washers were wonderfully gracious in the giving of their time and the teachers were very supportive offering up their cars to be washed.
The students did a wonderful job of the cars; with comments from some staff members to the effect of, 'wow, my car hasn't shined like that in a while.' The car wash hit its target and then some. It raised approximately $150 - the text books covered and a little more to add to other funds I've raised to give to the school. Well done girls!
