We are leaving Cambodia today and really enjoyed our visit. The sights are world-class and our accommodations and the food we enjoyed were great. However Cambodia is a very poor country as it is still recovering from wars and conflict. Our guide, Ponheary Ly, devotes much of her time and resources to helping schools in the rural villages to make sure that as many children as possible get a good education. This also includes feeding the children who often don't get enough to eat in the rural villages.

Some of Ponheary's past customers established a charitable foundation in the US to help support her efforts. The foundation funds basic school supplies, uniforms, food, bicycles, and supplements for teachers' earning. Much more information is available at the foundation's website.

I just wanted to mention this in case anyone who has visited Cambodia was touched by the local people and wanted to help in some way.
