The main activity of HCP is to arrange personal equity finance for poor students so that they can go to University. However, we also try to help elsewhere when we can.

Donating to Cambodia

In 2011 HCP coordinated the donation of 230 books from the University of Queensland School of Economics to the University of Management and Economics in Kampong Cham (UME-KC). The below photo is John Humphreys (HCP) presenting Flavio Menezes (UQ economics) with a certificate of appreciation from UME-KC.

Teaching in Cambodia

HCP can also help to coordinate Australian graduates who are interested in working as a lecturer in Cambodia. If you have a degree in Business, Economics, Commerce, Tourism, Accounting, Marketing, Law or anything similar and would like to contribute to the education of many eager young Cambodian minds, then please contact John on john.humphreys99@gmail.com to discuss arrangements. You can stay for as short as a month or as long as you like, and while Cambodian Universities will not be able to offer you a proper wage, they will be able to help with accommodation and a wonderful experience.

Info for Cambodians wanting to study in Australia

Many of the staff and students associated with HCP are interested in the possibility of studying in Australia. AusAID does offer scholarships for foreign students to come and do postgraduate research in Australia. This how to apply guide gives the basics, though you need to apply before the cut-off date (31 May). General information on scholarships for Cambodians can be found here.

Short term fellowships are also sometimes available.
