Why?

A big gap exists between the communities in necessity and modern-day resources that can help and support them. Our organization is looking to reduce this gap and create benefits on both ends. Interns and volunteers would have the opportunity to get exposure to real challenges and needs of a rural community while the village would benefit from the interaction, knowledge and input of a holistic-minded team. 
 
This experience is a life-changing opportunity for students to implement their sustainability studies and eco-friendly ideas with community-based focus projects. The combination of the two worlds creates enormous spaces for creativity and innovation bringing progress and professional growth. 
 
Being in Cambodia will increase the connection with our natural system and strong self-evaluation, developing our ways of living and thinking.  
“Empowering the next generation for a sustainable future. Arrive as a friend, leave as family.”
