Safe and sound at the airport, gearing up for the long journey home after an incredible 4 weeks in Cambodia 🌏✈️. Grateful for the memories, the lessons, and the friendships made along the way. Until next time!

Last night in Phnom Penh: students soaked in the vibrant city vibes with a peaceful stroll along the Mekong River 🌅. On their final day, they explored the historic Wat Phnom and shopped at the buzzing Central Market 🛍️. A perfect end to an unforgettable journey!

The students woke up at 4am to witness the sunrise at Angkor Wat. They sat in quiet reflection as the sun rose over the temple. After, they explored Angkor Wat, Bayon Temple, and Ta Prohm. A truly unforgettable experience. 🌅

Arrived in Siem Reap via the floating village of Kampong Khleang, a community that relies on fishing and seasonal crop growing. Students took a boat past raised homes and mangroves before heading out onto the vast Tonle Sap lake. 🌾🌊

After a lovely dinner in Siem Reap, students enjoyed the Phare circus with live acrobatics, dance and music. A stunning showcase of local talent that also supports Cambodian children through free arts education. 🎪✨

As well as completing the well at Camp Beng Pae, our students spent an afternoon at the local school, teaching English job names and playing games with the local children. A day of learning, laughter, and connection! 📚

Big shoutout to the students at Camp Beng Pae! 💪🌱 In just 3 days, they dug and built a 4 meter deep well, providing water for 4 households. Not only that, but they also planted a garden to support the families! Incredible effort in tough conditions. 🙌

🌅 After four unforgettable nights on Sunset Beach, Koh Rong Sanloem, complete with sandy shores, jungle, and coral reefs, our students have soaked up a true slice of Cambodian paradise. Now they’re off on the long journey to their final camp to continue their project work!
