Passports with Purpose is back for another year, this time with the goal of raising $13,000 to build a school in rural Cambodia, through American Assistance for Cambodia.

Passports with Purpose, for those of you who haven’t heard of it, is an annual fundraiser organized by four travel bloggers: Debbie Dubrow of DeliciousBaby, Pam Mandel of Nerd’s Eye View, Michelle Duffy of WanderMom and Beth Whitman of Wanderlust and Lipstick. It works as a raffle, with travel bloggers sponsoring a prize which donors can nominate as their preferred prize.

Last year, the Passports with Purpose fundraiser raised $7,420 for Heifer International. With this year’s goal set at $13,000, the stakes have been raised.

Our Prize: $250 Accommodation Voucher

Last year, TravelBlogs missed the boat on sponsoring a prize for the fundraiser, but we’re doing our bit this year. We’re contributing a $250 accommodation voucher for use on Travellerspoint’s budget accommodation area.

Here’s what you need to know:

• The Travellerspoint accommodation voucher will be delivered digitally to the lucky winner and is valid for use any time before January 1, 2011.
• All donations go directly to American Assistance for Cambodia, which will be using the funds to build a school in Cambodia. They are a 501 (c)(3) charity.
• Each raffle ticket costs $10. You can buy multiple tickets and nominate different prizes, or nominate the same prize more than once to increase your chances.
• See all the Passports with Purpose rules here.

The journey from Pai in Thailand to Luang Prabang in Laos was nothing if not long. We left Pai at 8pm on Friday 4th December and didnrsquot arrive in Luang Prabang until 6pm on Sunday 6th December ... a mammoth journeyThe first leg was a 7 hour minivan journey from Pai to Chang Kong on the ThaiLaos border to say that the first few hours of this ride was windy would be an epic understatement

Our first flight from Christchurch to Aukland was entirely uneventful so they decided to mix things up a little and delay our flight from Aukland to LA by 5 hours on top of the 3 we already had to wait. This was not much fun and the only food on offer was burger king which was not a good start to two weeks in America.We finally arrived in LA strangely enough before we actually left Aukland when y

This entry is about 6 months late. After the last journal life became so demanding I put a halt to everything. Then upon returning to the states I didn't want to think about the trip for a while and then I found the job and then I got busy again.....you get the picture. But I'll try to sum up the last two months of my stay in Honduras in less than 5 pages. April and May were busy months.

Eurgh. Sick and stressed. I am ordered to take 2 days off rehearsal. 2 out of 7 days..we perform in 3....breathe breathe. trying not to stress out. Just going to do a bit of text work today keep it low key. Take it slow.

I flew the short distance from Vila to Malekula by plane. We arrived at the tiny brick building with no furniture which was the airport. The runway was a grass paddock. I drove by truck with my dad and the two midwives Kelly and Carrie until we reached Banam Bay. There we were met by the friendly crew of the Alvei. The ship we were staying on. Once we were settled in I went with the Project MAR

I discovered him barricading the front door and blindfolding me before my finelytuned sense of Christmassmell gave everything away. A REAL LIVE CHRISTMAS TREEHe'd lugged the monstrosity up the icy street and negotiated our w
