Private Full Day Responsible Experience in Siem Reap
Embark on an excursion that unveils unique life-changing development initiatives in Siem Reap. We take guests to Kompheim village to witness exceptional projects that improve the living standards of the underprivileged. We set off on a cycle ride to the home of our host family, followed by participation in the creation of a delicious home-cooked Khmer lunch. We then stroll around the village and visit HUSK Community School, followed by a workshop to learn about a bottle building project. Next, we head to SATCHA, the first Cambodian handicraft centre, to see the output of fifty-plus artisans who create amazing products, including stone and wood carvings, jewellery and fabrics. The designs combine traditional Khmer and more contemporary styles. These are sold internationally, providing an income through sustainable practices. The site is also eco-friendly, having been built out of bamboo. Ahead of the return to the hotel, we enjoy dinner at Spoons Café, a social enterprise that supports underprivileged Cambodians to become independent through education, training and employment opportunities in the hospitality industry. As well as helping young people to gain employment, Spoons provides customers with an authentic Khmer dining experience.
