Hope Village, run by Operation Hope Foundation in Singapore, had urgent need for a basketball court to serve as a safe and therapeutic playing ground for the children of the orphanage. Cambodia was a war-torn country that saw the creation of hordes of orphans when their parents were killed in hostilities. Poor hygiene, medical conditions and a worrying Aids problem also contributed to children losing their parents at an early age and living in abject poverty. The orphanage extends a lifeline and opportunity to these children in terms of food, lodging and education, and as importantly, psychological well-being.

With the basketball court, the children are able to participate in outdoor activities and play in a safe and well-maintained area within the orphanage compound, rather than at abandoned schools or empty fields that are lacking in safety with threat of injuries and cuts from debris strewn on the ground. The basketball court also serves as a gathering place for the community around Hope Village, so that these children remain integrated and accepted by the community they live in.

Challenged out of their comfort zone, the volunteers experienced hard labour first-hand. Transporting sand, gravel and cement for the construction of the basketball court, and coping with the poor hygiene conditions and simple food at the site were some of the adjustments that they had to make, out of affluent and comfortable Singapore. But it was hard work well worth it when we now see the children playing safely and happily on the basketball court, stepping on concrete mixed with our sweat and love.

To build a safe basketball court for the children in Hope Village, Cambodia.
