Young WAH Ambassadors | Get Involved
Elliott Kitcher : YOUNG VOLUNTEER PROGRAM
2019 Cataract team of volunteers: during our 3-day surgical Mission, which resulted in the removal of 347 cataracts, Elliott was able to lend a humble helping hand:- by managing patient arrivals, preparing patients for surgery and guiding patients post-surgery to the recovery clinic. A truly once in a lifetime learning experience for a caring, thoughtful young teenager: the experience has motivated Elliott to take an active interest in social impact volunteer programs, and appreciate the value of helping people & communities in need. We welcome young helpers from all the world, to come visit & contribute in meaningful ways to education, healthcare and school clean water projects in Cambodia.

FELIX RIDGEWELL : YOUNG AMBASSADOR PROGRAM
“It's an absolute pleasure to be a junior ambassador for WAH. My desire to make a positive difference is what excites me every day. WAH has taught me that no matter what you do or how significant your actions are, everything counts in the end.
‘Impacting a child’s life won’t change the world, but for that child their world will forever be changed.’
My first voluntary service trip to Cambodia was in 2015: a humbling experience, after which I set out to do my best to help others in any way possible. Back at school in Singapore, I helped raise money to rebuild a village kindergarten, which had just 3 rooms & 2 outdoor toilets for over 90 children. In addition, we were also able to create a new long-term impact partnership with United World Schools for students, teachers & parents.
After my second school trip, we launched “Cambodia Awareness Week” to raise funds for local education & healthcare, through school learning sessions, fashion shows, assembly events & sports challenges.
Through family friendships I was fortunate to discover how helping an NGO like WAH can make a big difference. I can’t wait to discover what my future with WAH has in store & all the wonderful people associated with it.”
