Q: What projects does PEPY currently support?
A: PEPY supports a variety of education projects across the Kingdom of Cambodia. One project is the school project and the second PEPY school will open in early 2007. PEPY’s Bike-to-School Program provides bicycles to students graduating from rural elementary schools who have high attendance ratings and long distances to cover to reach secondary school. PEPY’s tours also support CCF Orphanage in Phnom Penh, Sangkheum Center in Siem Reap, and other projects in line with the PEPY mission.

问:PEPY目前资助哪些项目?
答:PEPY目前资助很多在柬埔寨的教育项目,其中有一个项目是帮助建立PEPY学校。目前PEPY已经成功资助建立了一所小学,第二所小学也将在2007年上半年建成。PEPY的“骑车去学校(Bike-to-School)”项目为那些住处离学校很远的学生提供自行车。此外,PEPY也资助金边的柬埔寨儿童基金孤儿院,柬埔寨暹粒省暹粒市的希望中心,以及其他一些和PEPY目标一致的项目。

Q: What types of tours does PEPY offer and how long are they?
A: PEPY offers volunteer tours, typically lasting 7-8 days, with half of the time spent volunteering with PEPY’s projects the other half touring Cambodia’s many sights and historic areas. PEPY also offers cycling tours which range from 1-4 weeks and all also incorporate both volunteer and touring portions.

问:PEPY组织什么样的旅行?旅行时间为多久?
答:PEPY的志愿者旅行一般为7-8天,其中一半时间用于PEPY的各项志愿者活动,另一半则是参观柬埔寨的风景名胜。PEPY有时也组织为期1周至4周的自行车旅行。

Q: How many guests participate on each trip?
A: PEPY’s cycle tours welcome 6-15 guests on each adventure. The volunteer tours typically have 10-30 participants depending on the tour.

问:每次旅行有多少志愿者参加?
答:PEPY的自行车旅行通常由6-15人祖队,而非自行车的志愿者旅行每次约有10-30人参加。

Q: What kind of people go on a PEPY Tour?
A: We have had volunteers from ages 8-70 on our tours. Participants come from all over the world. Our first tour had participants from 13 countries! About half of our participants are English speaking expatriates living in Asia, and the rest come from everywhere! Our volunteer trips are open to volunteers of all ages.

问:通常谁会参与PEPY的旅行?
答:我们的志愿者年龄范围在8岁到70岁之间。以第一次PEPY旅行为例,志愿者成员来自13个国家,其中半数是居住在亚洲的英语系国家公民,其余则来自世界各地。我们的旅行欢迎任何年龄任何国界的志愿者参与。

Q: How much does a PEPY Tour cost?
A: All tour prices incorporate both a trip fee and a tax-deductible (in the USA) minimum donation amount. Donations support the PEPY projects participants visit while on the tour. Prices vary by trip. To find out the price of a specific trip, please fill out the query form on our webpage at www.pepyride.org.

问:参加PEPY旅行的花费约为多少?
答:旅行的花费除了各种开销之外还包含一个(在美国)可退税的最低捐助额。这些捐助会被用来支持PEPY的各个慈善项目。根据时间和地区不同每次旅行的花费不同。具体请在我们的网站(http://www.pepyride.org)查询。

Q: How much bike experience is needed?
A: No biking experience is needed for our volunteer trips (as they typically do not involve any cycling). For our cycle trips, we suggest that participants be sure to get in good physical shape and be prepared to cycle 50+ kilometers per day for our one week trips, and sometimes 100+ kilometers per day for our three-four week trips. The climate is very hot and the roads are unpaved, so those in weak physical condition or with health problems should consider our volunteer trips in place of our cycle trips.

问:我需要多少自行车经验?
答:如果您参加的是普通的PEPY旅行,您不必有任何自行车经验,因为这些旅行中通常不需要骑车。而如果您参加自行车旅行,那么我们希望您最好有丰富的长距离自行车经历并且保持很好的体力。在一周的旅行中我们可能会需要每天行程50公里以上,如果是三四周的旅行,甚至会需要每天行程超过100公里。天气会很热而且大多数的路并没有被休整过。所以我们建议如果您没有强悍的体魄和很好的身体状态,请考虑我们非自行车的旅行计划。

Q: Does every tour travel to the same areas?
A: No. Most tours are unique in their mission as well as their itinerary. Some visit PEPY schools, others involve volunteer time at orphanages PEPY supports, and cycle trips typically involve visits to other rural schools. To find out more about a specific trip itinerary, visit the PEPY Trips tab on our website.

问:每次旅行的目的地都是相同的吗?
答:不是。大多数的旅行都有自己独自的安排。一部分是访问PEPY建立的学校,一部分是去PEPY资助的孤儿院,而自行车旅行则通常是去那些偏远的乡村学校。详细情况请点击我们网站上的“PEPY Trips”链接查看。

Q: What kind of accommodation do you offer?
A: In the cities we stay at excellent hotels and guesthouses, and seek out those supporting sustainable tourism. On our bike rides, the rural areas typically do not offer much choice in terms of accommodation. If your cycle trip is visiting a very rural area with sub-standard hotels, you will be informed. All volunteer trips stay at respected hotels and guesthouses with clean rooms and friendly staff .

问:PEPY旅行提供什么样的食宿?
在城市里我们会住在优良的旅馆和客房里。但是对于自行车旅行,通常乡村地区很难提供较多的食宿选择。如果您参加的自行车旅行是去很偏远的地方而且只有很低档的旅店的话,我们一定会事先通知您。非自行车的志愿者旅行的食宿都会被安排在有名的大宾馆,在那里有有干净的客房和友善的服务员。

Q: What kinds of activities do participants engage in to support PEPY’s mission?
A: The volunteer portion of each trip varies. Often times school visits involve teaching PEPY lessons with a translator, games and activities with students, and physical work such as sanding desks and building walkways. Participants can choose what areas they would like to volunteer in. Other trips have a specific volunteer mission, such as building a rainwater collection unit at a rural school or building houses at an orphanage.

问:志愿者在PEPY旅行过程中会参加哪些活动?
答:活动根据每次旅行有所不同。访问PEPY学校时的活动,通常是在翻译的帮助下给孩子们上课、和孩子们一起参加各种游戏,以及一些体力劳动比如打磨课桌椅和修整走道等等。志愿者可以在活动范围内自己选择希望参与的活动。除了访问学校以外,其他旅行有时还会有一些特别的任务,比如为乡村的学校建造一个积水池,或者为孤儿院搭建房屋等。


Q: Sounds like a one-of-a-kind experience that I can’t pass up! How do I sign up?
A: Fill out the form on this page and choose the trip you would like to sign up for, or find out more information about, from the top drop down menu.

问:这好像是一个值得尝试一下的经历,我该怎样报名?
答:填写这个表格(http://www.pepyride.org/address/dblink_sign_up_form.html),并且选择您想参加的旅行。或者从上面的下拉按钮选择更多的旅行信息。

Q: My friend is going on one of your trips. How do I donate in his/her name?
A: You can make a tax-deductible donation by US check to PEPY at 105 Schrade Rd, Briarcliff Manor, NY, 10510, or you can donate online (also tax deductible for US tax payers) at www.networkforgood.com or through the “Donations” tab on our webpage.
