A sustainable non-profit organisation, the Foundation provides relief to thousands of homeless people by sending teams of Australian volunteers to Cambodia to build houses.

Former Blue Mountains residents, Rachel Riley and Elizabeth Allen, are among 20 volunteers from the Foundation who will be travelling to Cambodia next month to participate in the next building project.

To help raise funds for the cause, the Foundation is holding a Fundraising Dance at the Nepean Rowing Club on Saturday, May 5.

Ms Riley has said that the event will be a family night with a huge number of raffle prizes to be won and that the Foundation hopes to "give everyone who comes a great night'.

"Ultimately the Fundraising Dance is being held to build awareness of what's happening in Cambodia and about what Tabitha does,' said Ms Riley.

"The event is also about realising that a small group can make such a big impact in Cambodia.'

Having travelled to Cambodia with the Foundation last year, Ms Riley has said that building houses for poverty-stricken families is the most rewarding experience she's ever had. `

"While the houses that the Foundation aims to build in Cambodia are only small, to the families over there they are mansions,' said Ms Riley.

She has also said that the main hope the Foundation has in sending Australian volunteers to Cambodia is simply to "give families and their children a place to live'.

The Penrith City Council has shown its support of the event by allowing representatives of the Foundation to sell raffle tickets and entry tickets to the dance on High St.

The Tabitha Foundation Australia Fundraising Dance will be held on Saturday, May 5 at the Nepean Rowing Club at 7pm. To book tickets to the event call 02 9335 8636.
