A WOMAN will trek across mountains and a jungle to build traditional Khmer houses in Cambodia for land mine survivors.
Jenny Thomas, from Wrexham, is flying out today, as part of the Cambodia Community Challenge, organised by the humanitarian organisation Mines Advisory Group.
In Cambodia, MAG clears minefields and transforms the areas for building homes, schools, health centres, roads and access to clean water.
Jenny will be trekking in the Kulen Mountain area, through the jungle and paddy fields and then building houses.
“We will be working very closely with the local community,” she said.
“The houses we will be building are traditional Khmer houses, which are simple wooden houses set off the ground on wooden poles.”
Jenny needs £3,000 sponsorship money. To help contact Elfed ap N Roberts on 01978 290671.
