Peterborough Paramedics & Beyond started with a dream. We took that dream, started taking action and before we knew it our dream became a reality. We were granted charity status in 2018. Our first trip under the charity had to be cancelled due to a nations civil unrest and another cancelled the following year do to the pandemic. It has been 5 years since we have been able to make any plans to fulfil our goals. Over that time our dream never died. We realized that a dream to be fulfilled needs faith… faith which sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible!
Peterborough Paramedics & Beyond (PPAB) is excited to be sending a team to Stung Treng, Cambodia and surrounding areas November 2-15, 2023. Our host is Asian Outreach International, (https://asianoutreachna.com/) a non-governmental organization that has been empowering and transforming the lives of families in needy communities across Asia for more than 40 years. Emerging from decades of civil war and unrest, Cambodia is a kingdom of wonder. Asian Outreach provides hope and opportunity to needy villages in three provinces. Asian Outreach (AO) focuses on the training and support of national workers – as they are best equipped to effect change within their own communities. Working alongside and empowering the local church, their programs include: leadership training and church planting, effective community development, literacy programs, community-based health and education programs, micro-enterprise and other practical programs to break the cycles of extreme poverty. This year PPAB has the privilege to take a team of paramedics to Stung Treng, Cambodia to come along side AO to provide their staff and those in the surrounding villages with first aid training and health & wellness education. We consider this a great privilege and opportunity for PPAB to be able to expand our role into the health and wellness education field.
The goals of Peterborough Paramedics & Beyond 2023 are…
- To provide basic first aid training to Asian Outreach staff at the Hope Centre and the surrounding villages;
- To provide ongoing education in the areas of health and wellness;
- To provide humanitarian assistance where necessary to meet the needs of the people in the communities visited.
