Volunteers and Vacations

The Tabitha Foundation Australia plays an active role in recruiting volunteers to travel to Cambodia and build houses for Cambodian families.

Trevor Hay in The Australian newspaper's travel section recounts "a constructive effort" and how he worked up a sweat by adding a day's charity work to cap off a a Cambodian holiday.

It is one thing to donate to charity, but everything comes into focus when you get out in the field, raise a sweat and meet the beneficiaries of your efforts.

Other beneficial programs:

* Peregrine's next house-building tour departs September 11.

* Geckos Adventures offers a Clean Up Siem Reap day as part of its tour departing September 14.

* And of course, our good friends at the Intrepid Foundation have a wide range of community projects and travel options that benefit Cambodians - fun activities like the Gecko Environment Centre.
