Your travel companion on this trip:

Mine-ex President Reto Stump - The first trip to Cambodia took place in 2018. He was fascinated by this country with its history, culture, people's way of life and the victims of landmines. This was followed by many more trips to Cambodia, which led to some great and heartfelt encounters with the lovely people. The variety of aid projects, their impact and, above all, their enormous importance for the country fascinated him and motivated him to get involved. He has been President of the foundation since 2020 and thanks to his experience and contacts in Cambodia, he is able to offer valuable support. He would like to share his enthusiasm for the people, the country and the impact and importance of NGOs with you on this special trip.

4 Nights at Boutique Hotel Vellita

In the morning you visit the Institute Khmer Traditional Textiles Silk Farm. The IKTT specialises in the revival of Khmer silk. Throughout history, Khmer silk weaving has been among the best in the world, but the years of war have caused this ancient art to almost disappear. The beauty of this silk has saved it. Founded in 1996 by Kikuo Morimoto, the company takes a purist approach to reproducing traditional textiles, not only imitating the style but also following traditional practices from the Angkor Dynasty period a thousand years ago. Afterwards, we visit Banteay Srei Temple (10th century), considered the jewel in the crown of classical Khmer art.

In the afternoon, you will visit Child's Dream projects. They guide young people from primary school to vocational training or higher education.

For dinner, head to Phare Café Restaurant and then enjoy a circus show at the famous Phare Circus for an acrobatic performance. The show will amaze you. This project was created to provide disadvantaged children with training in the arts.
