Employees of Asia-Pacific based global travel management company, FCm Travel Solutions, have swapped their business travel expertise for bricks and mortar to build houses for Cambodian families desperately in
need of support.
A team of 10 from Australia are building one now with three under
construction, on the outskirts of Phnom Penh.
The company’s first ever ‘Community House Build Team’ comprises people from
FCm Travel Solutions; its parent company Flight Centre Limited; and its
specialist brands Stage and Screen, and Infinity, in Australia.
Each team member has raised a minimum of A$950 for ‘Habitat for Humanity’,
a not-for-profit, housing organisation that builds simple, affordable houses
in partnership with low income families.
“On completion of the first house, the team celebrated with the local
villagers and had a formal house dedication ceremony. Our team also treated
22 local children to a day trip at a water theme park, which was a
first-time experience for most of them,” said FCm’s global
executive general manager, Anthony Grigson.
