An Unforgettable Adventure

Cambodia's red dirt, luscious landscapes, and beautiful people will always have a dear place in my heart. I made my way to Kampot, a trendy little Cambodian town full of ex patriots, In Januay of 2020. There were juice bars, sushi, excellent cuisine, and all the fresh fruit and fish you could ever want. I rented a motorbike for $5 a day and made my way down dirt roads to the Red Road Foundation School. I could have hitched a ride in the pickup truck but I couldn't resist renting the bike. As I followed Rachel (also on a sweet little motorcycle) and her volunteers in the truck, I was greeted by smiles from all the people I passed along the way.
The school left a lasting impression. It is amazing what Rachel and her foundation have accomplished. They use absolutely everything, and are industrious about it, creating sustainability and little to no waste. The kids are grateful, and may not be able to attend school if it wasn't for the RRF. It really helps to create a grateful heart and widen your perspective to spend time volunteering at RRF. I highly recommend this life changing adventure. I am still so much more conscientious about waste and single use plastics!
