Fundraiser effort

I think I have about 8 to 10 people that showed an interest in helping with the well. So any amount of money will help a lot. For now I will BCC everyone to keep your email address private. However if you don’t mind or would want to contact others on the list let me know and I will place you on the regular “to” list. One problem I haven’t figured out for sure is what to put on the sign. I’m thinking of just putting Kansas City, USA although there are a couple of people not from KC, so if there are some other ideas I’m very open to hearing them. I will keep a running total of the money raised on this blog so everyone will know where we stand. Those of you that are in regular contact with me can just give me the money when you see me. Others that don’t see me very often can mail me a check at:
Conrad Knab
2525 Main St. #410
Kansas City MO. 64108
When we have enough I will get to Western Union and wire it over. I’ll find out in advance how long it will take to complete the well. When Nancy and I return to Cambodia in Feb. 08 we will get a chance to go to the village and take plenty of pictures to send back.
We were lucky enough to have our little story posted on the Friendly Planet website. Here is the link to that. http://www.friendlyplanet.com/traveler-quotes.asp.
We also have the same story at the bottom of the Treasures of Thailand Tour page.

After we saw that Friendly Planet had helped dig a couple of wells, we contacted them and told them what we were doing. So they added us to their website. It really is a great company to travel with.

Cambodian Wells

My name is Conrad and after a trip in January 2007, My wife, Nancy and I saw the tremendous need for fresh water for the people of Cambodia. We have sent $200 on two separate times to build two wells. These wells are for single families as you can see in the pictures. I would like to raise $1400 for a well for a village. Our tour guide while we were there is my partner in this endeavor. His name is Theap Bunthin. His story of surviving the Pol Pot era is worthy of a book or movie by itself. Nancy and I are returning to Cambodia Febuary of 2008. In my next post I will try to figure out how to raise the money for the village well.
