My personal message:



Hi Everyone! :o)

Thank you for taking the time to watch my video...

Many of you have been following my travels and adventures on and off for a few years now. (For those who haven't, you can do so here.)

This project is incredibly important to me because it is my chance to give back in a significant way and also because I honestly believe that being a part of things such as this, adds a lot of wealth to our lives. 

I hope that you too will decide to give back with me.

Even a little bit will help...

Much love,

John :o)

Q: What is a “Partner” and can I become one?

A: In the beginning of fund raising we were able to offer a donors of $1000 or more a place for their name on the plaque to hang on the wall inside the library as well as photos of the library to hang proudly in their home. Unfortunately we’ve run out of room on the plaque, and thus “Partner” slots. However I will certainly be sure anyone who donates $1000 or more gets a beautiful framed photograph of children reading in the library you helped to build! And if you want to come with me to Cambodia next year to visit the library and kids...then I'll help you plan your trip!
