What’s JET Got to Do With It?
June 3, 2007PEPY Fundraising Events in Japan
June 29, 2007A group of JETs traveled to Cambodia with PEPY in 2006 and left determined to raise enough money for a new PEPY school. The group raised over $20,000 to fund the project and returned one-year later in March of 2007 to celebrate the opening of the PEPY Friends School in Stung Treng.
The PEPY Friends School educates over seventy lower-secondary students, and past volunteer trips to the school have helped to provide clean drinking water, supplies, uniforms, and bicycles to the students.
