It’s that time of year again! Passports with a Purpose bloggers are cooperating to raise funds to build a school in Cambodia.
I traveled to Cambodia in 2004 and can vouch that this is indeed a place in need of restoration and reconstruction, on many levels.
Our goal is to raise $13,000 for this project.To help, check out our list of prizes and make your $10 or more donation. Each $10 goes towards the building of the school, and it also enters you to win a prize!

Travelbloggers everywhere have rounded up amazing prizes to raffle off; the proceeds go directly to American Assistance For Cambodia, a 501 (c)(3) charity.

I arranged a donation of a fabulous Baby Sherpa ALPHA Backpack (Black) from Baby Sherpa, of course.
A $10 donation to a worthy cause can enter you to win $119 worth of bagaliciousness.
This is the ALPHA, don’t forget, which means:
• A padded laptop compartment safely holds most 14” computers
• Soft-sided cooler compartment with capacity of 8 cans
• Rugged construction
• Video camera and DVD padded pouch
• Ergonomically designed with padded shoulder straps
• Padded air mesh back panel with ventilation channels for breathability
• Heavy duty lug handle
• Spacious main compartment

Plus ultra-tough zippers, a Bungee X cord for extra storage (beach towels!), key retrievers, loops and clips, two accessory pouches for smaller items or your mobile devices, sternum and waist belt straps for added support, and reflective tape for added safety in the dark. Comes in unisex Black Graphite ripstop nylon that’s easy to clean and water resistant.

The whole thing is PVC-fre, non-toxic, and lead free. Huzzah!

This particular prize can be shipped to winners in the US and Canada.

I have my own, and my favorite feature is the cooler compartment. Nice, chilled water? Don’t mind if I do!

Virtuoso has started us off with a very generous donation; I can’t wait to see how much money we can raise together this year! Got Passport: Will Travel, We’ll Serve, Home Away, Inc., Raveable.com, Travelfish.org, and TravellersPoint have also made donations to get this philanthropic party started!

All donations will go through the Passports with Purpose site.

    It should be about $30 closer to the school! I hope the fund far exceeds the amount requested!
