Community Support: Would you like to get involved?

I have committed myself to two personal projects: supporting students in rural schools and building wells to provide pure water to residents of rural villages. I am pleased to offer my clients an opportunity to support the Cambodian people
by donating supplies to rural elementary schools and funding for pumping wells and water filters in combination with on-site visits.

1). Schools Projects​ ( Rural School Support You can make a difference)

The School Projects in rural areas, you can make a difference life of the children in Cambodia and it is our goal is to help poor and underfunded school children receive school supplies, clean food and water, and basic gym equipment to promote healthy social relationships. Below are some suggested itineraries for your visit to the most beautiful places, but we will design your trip of a lifetime for your specific needs if you like. Here are our most popular trips already planned out for you. We are honored to offer you the option to visit a rural elementary school. The schools we support are housed in very basic buildings. A typical classroom contains 30 to 50 primary school students and is taught by a young teacher who has to do the best she can with few school supplies.

You are welcome to bring school supplies from your home country, we can shop together for supplies the day prior to our visit, or you can simply tell me the amount you would like to donate, and I will buy the supplies prior to your arrival.
For a suggested donation of $4 to $6 per student, together we can distribute essential items such as pens, pencils, and notebooks to these needy youngsters.

Few ways you can give your support:

• Purchasing food, snacks, or clean drinking water in bulk
• Providing the school with health vaccinations, or hiring a local doctor for one day
• Buying notebooks, pencils, colored pencils, pens, backpacks, and other school materials
• Donating school uniforms
• Creating your own gym program by giving sports equipment (soccer balls, volleyballs)
• Volunteering for the day by teaching English to teenage children
• Creating your own game for children

2). Rural Pure Water Project (You can change a family’s life)
The Rural Pure Water Project is a Way to Leave a Lasting Impression. There is almost no need as basic as having clean water to drink, but many Cambodian people do not have access to it. In the countryside, most people rely on water from rivers or streams, but this water is often diseased and polluted. Many of the country’s worst health problems can be traced back to the use of these unclean water sources. The victims of these diseases are often children, whose parents have no way to pay for medical care. It is estimated that 60% of rural residents have no clean water to drink.

The good news is that this problem is easily fixed

for individual families with the installation of a well. A properly installed well can ensure that the family will have drinking water for many years and a greater chance of health and prosperity. When my customers see the beauty of Angkor Wat and the very difficult lives of the people who live near it, they often ask how they can help.
I want to suggest that paying for even a single well to be installed can truly change the lives of those Cambodians who are most in need. What makes this an extraordinary giving opportunity is that you will meet the people who receive your well and see firsthand where your donation is going Together we will go to the countryside, meet a rural family, hear their stories, and assist in the installation of their new well. If you are interested in giving Cambodian people cleaning water and a fresh start, please tell me when you book your tour so,we can make the proper arrangements before you arrive. Thank you for your generosity!
Pure drinking water is a priceless resource that many people in the developed world take for granted. Your support can make it a reality for one or more Cambodian families.
We are looking forward to hearing about your supporting the future life of Children in Cambodia on your vacation trips.
Thank you in advance

An excellent private tour in Cambodia An excellent high quality, personal service from our very experienced tour guide Reti who was very knowledgeable about everything we wanted to see and do. He explained in great detail (to the level we needed) the history of each and every area we visited, so our experience contained more depth. He tailored our trip to our desired venues including Tuol Sleng Museum, Choeng Ek Killing Fields, the Royal Palace, Countryside Markets (Spider Village) , ancient city monuments. He guided us to arrive just in time to view the stunning sunrise over Angkor Wat, followed by Ankor Thom city and Ta Prohm jungle temple (from the tomb raider movie) and many surrounding areas. His knowledge of the local cuisine, and our particular desire to experience it at its best, enabled us to enjoy the most delicious Thai fish dishes I have personally ever tasted. In every and all situations he was able to anticipate our needs even very helpfully taking photos of us that have become memories of an extremely memorable trip to Cambodia. Thoroughly recommend him.

Best vacation My wife and I visited Siem Reap in November 2019. We traveled to three countries in Indo-China for our entire trip but Cambodia is definitely our favourite! Thanks to MR. RETHY LY for making the experience one for the books! MR. RETHY LY arranged our schedule seamlessly. We were able to start and end the tour on time. The SUV we used was also very clean and comfortable. They also provided us with snacks. Our tour guide was also very fluent in English. He provided us with clear introduction to the archeology of Siem Reap architecture. His explanation was so detailed which made us felt like being back in 900-1200A.D. He is also very knowledgeable in many aspects. He is willing to share his personal stories, how he was brought up, how he strove to achieve goals. This has helped us tremendously in getting to know Cambodia, and has also served as a priceless reflection tool. MR. LY is also a very good photographer and gives valuable suggestions for best spot to take pictures. I wasn’t only able to unwind and reflect during this trip. I also learned so much history and stories about Cambodia. Thanks to MR. RETHY LY!

Ho lasciato il cuore a Siem Reap Abbiamo passato 4 giorni a Siem Reap con Saravy che ringrazio tantissimo perché sono stati i giorni più belli dell’intera vacanza! Da Angkor wat e i templi più turistici a quelli più nascosti e meno conosciuti e molto piu affascinanti! Se state programmando un viaggio in Cambogia questa è la guida perfetta!

Amazing 3 day tour in Siem Reap! What a wonderful way to start and end our very first holiday to Siem Reap. From day 1 Saravy was amazing, so informative and knowledgeable about the temples, cultures and customs. Our 5 yr old daughter was so taken by Saravy and his gentleness that by the second day, she didn’t want to walk with us or hold our hand but take his instead!! Saravy was so kind and so accommodating to our needs and I cannot recommend him highly enough! He blew our minds with the stories of all the different temples and the anecdotes behind them! If you ever need a guide to get you on the ground running don’t look any further! I want to thank Saravy so much for making this trip so amazing and it will not be soon forgotten! And the photo below is proof about my daughter just being completely enamored! Hats off to being able to put up with the chattiest and sometimes very nonsensical 5yr old on the planet!!

Bellissima esperienza con Saravy Insieme ad ad altri amici abbiamo avuto il privilegio di essere guidati per due giorni tra i posti più incantevoli della Cambogia da Saravy, una guida di grande esperienza, sensibilità e cultura. Il tour è stato organizzato con grande competenza e professionalità e ci ha fatto lasciare i nostri cuori in quei meravigliosi luoghi che Savary ci ha fatto amare immensamente. Ottimo anche il servizio in generale con tante coccole come salviette profumate rinfrescanti ed acqua fresca sempre a nostra disposizione. Savary si è integrato al nostro gruppo da subito ed è stato come viaggiare con un grande amico. Grazie Savary... ci mancherai

Amazing experience with Saravy We had an amazing experience with Saravy discovering Angkor Wat, he was so kind and his knowledge about the archeological site and about the Cambodian history is incredible. We were 3 friends traveling around Asia and this was the most important and beautiful excursion that we had in all our trip. Saravy has been so helpful and he had a lot of patience with us, we request a lot of questions and he gave us always all the informations we needed with happiness and professionalism. At the end we miss so much him and we cannot forget the beautiful days spent together. Thank you once again Highly recommended

Great tour for Angkor Watt Kim was a great tour guide! He was on time waiting for us at the airport with his driver Nak. Kim speaks very well English and you feel that he loves this amazing area. During the tour he had been explained the entire history behind Angkor Watt and was more than happy to answer all our questions:) We will never forget this trip and therefore, we highly recommend Kim and Nak as they were really dedicated to make our trip as enjoyable as possible!

Saravy is the best guide We did a sunrise our of Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm, Ta Som and Angkor Tom Bayon. Saravy was an incredible guide. To start, he helped us get in the perfect position to get amazing sunrise photos of Angkor Wat. Then throughout the tour, he was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He is the perfect tour guide and very flexible with the style of tour that you want to have. If you are into really cool photos, he can show you the best spots. If you want to learn about the history of the temples and the ancient times, he knows all of the details. If you have questions about the modern life in Cambodia, he is happy to share that information as well. If you are in Siem Reap, I would highly recommend that you book a tour with him.

Great experience in Siem Reap I had Saravy as guide, and Pov and his brother as driver for my 3 days tour in Siem Reap. Saravy is very knowledgeable. He explained me in details every temples we visited. He also answer my questions which is in very bad English. Too bad I couldn't talk much during the tour because of my bad English. But Saravy let me know so much about Cambodia. He made my journey to Siem Reap unforgetable. He helped to take photos of me. He also took me to the places I want to go while they are not in the itinerary. The drivers also did great services, they made sure I was comfortable by offering the cold water and cold towel. I would highly recommend this tour company to anyone who visit Cambodia.

We enjoyed our week with Rethy. Our group of four spent five days last week touring Cambodia with Rethy Ly as our driver and guide. He took us on a comprehensive tour of the important sites out of Siem Reep and gave us a great introduction to his country and it's history. Along the way his cooler was always full of cold water and beer. He showed us local produce to try and chose spots for local cuisine that everyone enjoyed. I highly recommend Rethy. My feeling is he will tailor your trip depending on the number of days you have available to make the most of your time.
