I want to improve and do not want to be rich

Despite a booming tourism industry, Siem Reap province remains one of the poorest in Cambodia with negligible amounts of economic prosperity reaching those in the countryside.

Leave your old clothes behind and experience more...!!

Many travellers leave behind their belongings when moving from one place to another. Either the backpack is too heavy or it has been filled with new souvenirs, so the old t-shirts or shoes no longer fit in. Our Jasmine lodge has recognized that most of these things are in perfect condition to be used. As a result, my adventure trips have started collecting clothes and other objects that can be useful, and encouraged the travellers to donate them to one of the donation boxes placed on the roof top desk tour of jasmine lodge, instead of throwing them away. Every quarter a village is chosen where all the material is distributed. Guests are welcome to come along on the tour with our 4WD Mitsubitshi 7 seats and with stomach ache medicine, pencils, pens and rulers or many other things that are more useful for isolated villagers living In new village that have no pagodas, Markets and school yet is good chance of travelers just drop off a little bit money and these things also can have full experience bring back home. 

In countryside,some  isolated village did not have clean water so they have to go far away from village to fetch the water and carry for use in the family and also some of them have bicycle and use water-jug filled it up and put on the bicycle bringing home. So sad to  see this for a little girl is carrying really heavy water to her home and sometime she waits  for many hours and hours to get these water because so many people are queueing to fetch water but in there, there is just only one wells.
This is the best of everyone seized the  oppunity to help in the time of  travelling just drop off some experience with local people like me i will be honest to advice and share the opinion to do it with you. 

Now you can see the first step of lives of Cambodian people was older than our teenagers was In the suffering civil war many years make people lose each other and did not have school and Educated themselves that is big spot of daily lives nowadays you can see in society in policy of Cambodia not longer the people have knowledge much developed not dig up in the past of their story just walk one step and greedy to have earning also classify the hierarchy of poor and rich even eating and sitting around of and look down and scare the same people with money and authority . 
Angkor Jasmine foundation is non profit and non political fund in Cambodia Angkor jasmine tours and the clients of jasmine lodge in 2003, it is founded by all staff of jasmine lodge. 

Because of very long civil war in Cambodia in Khmer rough genocide regime from 1975 and 1979 took around 3years 8 month 20 days more than 3 millions was killed and starvation in census of Cambodian Government which left country quietly and broken.

Even Nowadays, Cambodian government is trying hard to improve Education and human resource levels, But still there are a lot of children in countryside isolated village can not afford go to school Because of the family was poor and Parents did not have education former military just defected to normal villagers in 2000 getting new life without hand and legs so how can they make money for sending their children to school...! 


Even more in Cambodia just passed through Civil war and still have mine left a lot and Cambodian people and children did not know the mine they thought it is the things for playing or take it to manufacture to something else as spade or bowl and might be exploded and make people lose the hand or the legs and the lives.
So one family in countryside have children at least 5 to 8 children that is reason you will see in frontiers of Cambodian and Thailand and Markets so many women carrying baby just was born only 3 months begging money and some of other children use plastic rubber addicted on the street in night time sleeping in the yard of department the place where have many tourists.

An emphasis is put on teaching traditional Khmer dance, music and handicraft arts, which were repressed during the Khmer Rouge regime.
