January 2015

A Very Happy New Year to everyone! We hope that all of our friends, visitors and partners will have a delightful, healthy and prosperous 2015. Best wishes to all.

Our year has gotten off to a wonderful start. We had another excellent visit from one of our favorite tour operators, Operation Groundswell. As you may know, Operation Groundswell is trying to redefine volunteering and travel by forming partnerships with local NGOs and communities, They stress having an immersive experience and work hands-on with local partners on educational and social initiatives.

On this trip, the group learned about our community-based tourism project, went on a temple tour, biked around the satellite temples, helped in the community library, took a boat tour on the baray and, of course, enjoyed traditional Khmer music, dancing, games and hospitality. We all look forward to another visit later this summer. Thanks to all!
