cambodia
Cambodia is one of those places you have to see to believe.
Ancient temples rise out of the jungle, tuk-tuks fill the streets, markets are packed with food and color, and everywhere you go there are reminders of a history and culture very different from your own.
Some of the best parts of the trip are the projects we get to be part of. You’ll serve at a school and orphanage built on an old landfill, helping improve the space and teaching younger children. You’ll work alongside a local optometrist to provide vision screenings and glasses fittings in a rural village. And you’ll help a rural reading and English school build gardens and chicken coops that can provide ongoing income for the school.
And mixed in with all of that: exploring Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm, and Bayon, swimming beneath jungle waterfalls, riding tuk-tuks through local markets, learning to cook Cambodian food, meeting landmine-detecting HeroRATs, and seeing places that help you understand Cambodia’s difficult history and the strength of its people.
There is a lot packed into Cambodia. A lot to see. A lot to learn. A lot of people to know. And a lot of good work to be part of.
Come learn the good life in Cambodia.
why cambodia?
One of the things people love most about RISE is how much the trip changes from day to day. In Cambodia, that might mean vision screenings in a rural village one day, working with kids at a school the next, then ancient temples, tuk-tuks, waterfalls, cooking, or a project at a reading center.
It’s fun to wonder which project, person, or moment might end up meaning the most to you.
