Cycle through Cambodia for Sunrise Children's Villages
‘One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things’. Henry Miller
January 31 – February 10 2009
You are invited to participate in the journey of a lifetime.
Sunrise Children’s Villages and Global Village Expeditions (GiVE), in partnership with Intrepid, would like you to join us on a cycle through Cambodia to raise funds for Sunrise.
Get off the beaten track in Cambodia as we blaze a trail from the glories of Angkor to some of the less known and visited Khmer sites, pedal by the side of the Mekong to the capital city then sweep southwards through rural provinces to finish by the tropical beaches of Sihanoukville.
This is a real journey of discovery pedaling along quiet back roads and passing through sleepy villages you'll see the beauty of rural Cambodia up close and experience a the pace of life that has not changed much since the time of the Khmers. See some of the best Khmer ruins, far from the madding crowds that now dominate Angkor and experience a real thrill as you explore off the beaten track. Our cycling route is varied and fascinating whether it's on jungle tracks up a pilgrimage mountain, cycling by the Mekong river or along the beaches of the tropical southern coastline you will experience a side of Cambodia seen by few others. Coupled with time spent relaxing in Siem Reap, Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville this is a superb way to experience one of Asia's most captivating countries.
You will also have the opportunity to visit the Village and see firsthand the benefit your donation brings to the children of Sunrise.
Orphanages in Cambodia can be places of despair, carers trying to meet all the children’s needs on as little as $5 a day. Sunrise Children’s Villages is an organization dedicated to changing these children’s present, and to giving them a future. Sunrise runs 2 orphanages, one outside Phnom Penh and the other in the city of Siem Reap, where children are housed, fed, clothed, educated, medically cared for and loved through to adulthood in a family supportive environment. Another centre is being constructed in Sihanoukville province.
The Cambodia Cycle Expedition’s aim is to raise funds to assist in the building of a new centre for Sunrise. Your trip cost factors in a minimum USD$1,000 donation that will go directly to Sunrise and their building fund. Any additional funds you raise will also go directly to Sunrise, the sky’s the limit with your fundraising and we encourage you to exceed all expectations!
