Pathfinder: Cambodia Volunteer Service Cheung Chi-yiu Ivan, a senior of nursing, visited Kampong Chhnang province in central Cambodia with another university student in June 2013. They found that the place was faced with serious hygiene problems and most of the schools had no access to clean drinking water and proper sanitary facilities. After returning to Hong Kong, they initiated the ‘Pathfinder: Cambodia Volunteer Service 2014’ project and formed the Pathfinder volunteer team. The team comprises 11 members from CUHK and 11 from other local universities. From 19 July to 2 August 2014, the team went to Kampong Chhnang province and worked with Clear Cambodia, a local NGO, to build new sanitary facilities and a water filtration system for a local school named Prek Reang Primary School. What they built included a water filter, toilets, water taps, and a well. All of them are placed on a platform that is three metres above the ground, so that teachers and pupils of the school can still use these facilities when there is flooding. 服務與關懷 Serving and Caring 29
