Sunrise Children's Villages

Sunrise Angkor

Playground, estimated to cost around US$20,000.

New Kitchen, similar to the one we want in Sunrise One, but smaller as we can only accommodate around 80 children in Siem Reap. Say, around $50,000.

Computers, again for 25 students, the same as above. We already have the computer chairs there.
English Lessons annually similar to above but for around 35 children — $21,000.

We have funding to do extensive renovations in this centre where we have a 20-year free agreement from the government to operate it. We have an application in with the government to extend this free agreement to 50 years.

Hospitality Training School and Restaurant. Now this is a long range plan for about 18 months from now. You might have seen a program on Australian Story called Jimmy’s Kitchen, about a young Vietnamese/Australian, who opened a hospitality kitchen training school for street children in Hanoi. It is called KOTO (Know One Teach One) and has been a huge success getting international rave reviews. His graduated students work in 5 star hotels all over the world. We want to do this in Sunrise Angkor and because we are right in the tourist belt area of Siem Reap, we know we would be well patronized. But as I say, it is a long range project and something we might be coming back to you with detailed quotes for this in another 12 months, when we have completed our other renovations there. Put this on the back boiler.

Beach Trip. The same as advised for Sunrise One. We need $5–6,000.
