In February this year Peter O'Keefe, a teacher at the school at that time, travelled to Cambodia with a team of volunteers 27-strong. The team built 20 houses in Svay Rieng province in the south-east of Cambodia, close to the Vietnamese border.

The house built with the funds donated by Port Macquarie High School now shelters a family of eight people. To say that this family was happy and grateful to receive their home, would be an understatement. This particular family had never lived in a proper house before, so it was a very momentous day for them.

Tabitha Foundation Australia and the family would like to thank Port Maquarie High School, its staff and the students for their very generous and worthwhile donation.
