Clare pharmacist Tim Siv will spend six weeks in Cambodia working in orphanages and schools during the Christmas holidays.

Mr Siv, whose parents fled Cambodia when he was three years old, will return to the town of his birth to give back to his former community where he also plans to build a playground for local children.

And he won’t be travelling light - planning to pack his suitcases with toothbrushes, tooth paste, tennis balls and other useful items which are normally in short supply in that country.

“It’s something I have always wanted to do (return to Cambodia) in terms of giving back,” Mr Siv said.

This is where my heritage is and it will be a big experience for me. The house I was born in is still there,” Mr Siv said.

Although this will be a personal visit for Mr Siv he will participating in local aid work, teaching English and undertaking other community work.

“I just hope to make an impact on someone’s life while I am over there,” he said.

Well Tim, you need to buy land to build play ground. Nothing comes free in Cambodia.

Hello Mate! You should perhaps bring medication/medecine rather than the so-called toothbrushes, toothpaste, tennis balls, which are aplenty all over shops in Cambodia in case you never got to get in touch with the reality on the ground in your parents' country. Do some research for Kanguroo's sake prior to your maiden trip to your parents' hometown called Cambodia... This is the 21st century Boy!!
