Eu4ria Inc.

Eu4ria Inc, will be embarking on a mega project that is one of a kind. We'd be organizing a 5 team expedition to Sihanoukville, Cambodia. It is otherwise, endearingly called Snooky.


Summary

In Sikhanoukville, Cambodia, 50-60 families have been living in makeshifts tent provided by various NGOs for five years ever since they were evicted by the government to make way for tourism activities. Due to lack of resources, relief efforts are insufficient and impeded.


To put it simply, the main objective of this project is to build a self-sustainable village for families in Sikhanoukville or Snooky as the locals call it.

Proposal

Build a highly sustainable model village that could solve housing problems in Sikhanoukville.
The Model village has to meet these requirements:
Possess
1. a Water supply system
2. an Electric power unit
3. a communal and clean Toilets
4. the ability to generate income on its own
5. the ability to train and develop villagers with new skills


I'm sure you would want to know how this expedition works so, below are the frequently asked questions.


How many volunteers are needed?

As it is a large scale project, with various stages, a team is not enough. Therefore, this expedition tentatively consists of FIVE teams with TWENTY members each, which means a total of 100 members are needed.

Do we need to fork out our own money?

We will try our utmost best to raise as much funds as possible through sponsorships and fund-raisings so that we will have to fork out a minimal sum. One of our major potential fund-provider is Youth Expedition Project, YEP (a program under National Youth Council that you might have heard of).


Are we doing this project from scratch?

Yes, we will be doing it from scratch. It is just like any other community involvement project with the logistics, programmes etc. However, we do have help from companies with specialised skills as well as our peers who've had gone for similar expeditions to help us in this effort. This humanitarian expedition will be structured similar to the YEP.


How long will we be there?

This project will be done in stages. As we have a total of FIVE teams, all the groups will go at different times/stages ie. overlapping weeks, for eg. Team 1 will go on the first and second week. Team 2 will go on the second and third week. This is the tentative idea of how the teams will be despatched. so we're anticipating 4-8 weeks for the completion of all the stages.

Why should I go?

Firstly, YOU CAN DO IT and you've been wanting to do it since forever! (: Secondly, this is the chance to do what you can never do from just being here in Singapore. Thirdly, this project is a first of it's kind. And if it's successful, there will be more of such start-ups of villages in many other third world countries. And when it's a success, we know deep in our heart that we were once part of the team that made it happen =)

"I have never organized anything like this.."
Fret not! Neither have we! (at least most of us). remember, theres always a first time to everything! annnndd, at the risk of sounding cliche, "Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic." (: this is a fantastic opportunity to push our limits and realize our potentials.


So, if you're interested in joining us as a Team Leader or a Team Member, contact my director, Muhd Amin at aminwi@gmail.com or myself. We hope that you could be the difference the world needs. :)
