The organization running this project, over a period of 11 years, has for children in Cambodia who have not received regular educationprovided educational opportunitiesandteaches the skills needed to obtain employment.
Currently, about 70 children aged 6 to 24 are provided with housing and food and are cared for.
Children who received education at the institution have grown up to enter university or obtain full-time jobs and lead better lives. The institution is located in rural Cambodia and operates a farm. On the farm, children raise livestock and gain experience in agricultural work.
We help children become independent by providing opportunities for future agriculture-related work and English education. We also sell chickens, cattle, and other animals raised on the farm to traders to help provide a better environment for the children.
*Two options are provided.
| ① Guesthouse in Phnom Penh City
It is a place where you live with volunteers from various nationalities, and you can always get help from the local coordinator when needed. The accommodation is located in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood, and you travel to the project site by public transportation. ② Accommodation located on the farm where project activities take place Since it is located on a farm rather than in the city, you will stay in a guesthouse surrounded by the natural environment. |
Region:Cambodia, Phnom Penh
The official name of Cambodia is'Kingdom of Cambodia'It is bordered by Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand in southeastern Indochina.
Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh,is the economic and political center where the painful past of French colonial rule coexists with modern development.It is a charming city filled with many attractions throughout the city, such as the National Museum, the Royal Palace, the Prime Minister's residence, and the Independence Monument.
On the other hand, behind the rapid economic development you can see the lives of Cambodians who live with difficulty. The majority of Cambodians are Buddhist and live according to Buddhist teachings. When walking around the city, you can see many monks wearing monastic robes. As a result, cultural activities are centered around temples, and many travelers visit the country to see temples and Buddhist culture.

1. Koh Rong Island
Cambodia may conjure images of a hot, landlocked destination without a sea, but it also has hidden paradises. Surrounded by Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam, Cambodia may feel like an inland country, but it also borders the Gulf of Thailand. The city of Sihanoukville is a hidden paradise in Cambodia. Around Sihanoukville there are seas and islands that attract many travelers. Among them, the large island Koh Rong has natural surroundings and seas that look like something out of a movie, making it a perfect destination for those seeking a resort.

2. Angkor Thom Elephant Terrace
Angkor Thom is a city in Cambodia whose name means 'great city.' The Elephant Terrace is part of the walled city of Angkor Thom. It is called the Elephant Terrace because elephant-shaped carvings are carved continuously along the wall. On one side of the stairway there is a sculpture of the three-headed elephant god Erawan raising a lotus with its long trunk. In Cambodian history, elephants were important animals and were ridden by kings who held supreme power. It is a travel destination where you can admire intricately carved elephant statues.
3. Ha Long Bay
Vietnam is a country near Cambodia that can be reached by about a 1.5-hour flight from Cambodia. One advantage of Southeast Asian countries is that the distances between countries are short, allowing you to see several countries at once. Ha Long Bay is a bay in northern Vietnam registered as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site. 'Ha' means 'descend' and 'Long' means 'dragon', so it means 'the dragon descending from the sky.' With over 3,000 islands in the emerald sea, many travelers take boats to drift leisurely between islands and spend contemplative time. Although there are many islands, each has its own name and unique charm. Visit Ha Long Bay and embark on a trip drifting across its emerald waters.
