Rockin4Tabitha (R4T) is a fundraiser rhythm and blues (R&B) concert in support of the Tabitha Foundation Canada’s house building efforts in Cambodia.

2011/2012 marks the 6th anniversary of R4T and a milestone in our efforts – since its inception in 2007, R4T has built a total of 75 houses, providing clean, safe, dry homes for ~400 deserving Cambodians, and has raised close to $100,000.

Rockin4Tabitha works through the Tabitha Foundation Canada with the primary purpose of raising money to build houses, wells and ponds. An international volunteer group of builders from all walks of life, the R4T build team travels to Cambodia each February.

Each volunteer team member pays for all their own travel, accommodation and food costs associated with the trip, each team member must fundraise $1010, the cost of a single house.

House building in Cambodia is a very rewarding experience. Each builder is responsible for upholding the good will that the Tabitha Foundation has worked hard to foster within the organization and the relationships built with the villages. Cambodia is a country still coming to grips with the aftermath of the Khmer Rouge regime, a country unsure of the role of Westerners in their world, as well as a country with deep beliefs in the Animist and Buddhist religions.

The R4T build team is very respectful of the cultural and religious differences in Cambodia and is focused on helping the Khmer villagers.
In February, 2011, the R4T team will travel to Pursat, Cambodia.

Our goal in 2012 is to build 40 houses in Koh Kong province
