This week, tourists have a choice between World of Difference Humanitarian Tours, and Noel and Marjorie's Northern Safari.

World of Difference Humanitarian Tours

Through “Humanitarian Tours”, World of Difference offers adults and older students, accompanied by a guardian a sightseeing tour led by an experienced Cambodian Rotarian that will take you beyond the experience that most traditional tours are able to offer. 

World of Difference is able to take you to villages off the beaten track allowing you to activate your senses of sight, touch and feel. 

“World of Difference” is part of Rotary International and is managed by Rotary Clubs in District 9800. Rotary is a worldwide team of every day people that accomplish extraordinary outcomes because they choose to share their knowledge, skills, experience and time for the advancement of other communities. 

World of Difference has a strong track record of working with Cambodians to break the cycle of poverty that has been thrust upon them through historical events. “Humanitarian Tours” allow you to be a tourist with a conscience because we add opportunities to participate in community building activities with Cambodians in Cambodia as part of your sightseeing adventures.

 

Humanitarian Tour - January 15th - 26th January 2024

This tour will be led by Bronwyn Stephens who has conducted a variety of World of Difference (WOD) tours on 14 occasions.

Cambodia’s Siem Reap is charming, culturally exquisite and is home to the ancient wonder Angkor Wat.  In this impoverished country tourism is Siem Reap’s life line and COVID severed it.  It would be my great delight if you would consider joining me as I lead my 14th tour on behalf of Rotary in support of Siem Reap tourism and wider Cambodia support.  The 12 day tour starts on Monday 15th and the cost for all hotels, meals, insurance, entry fees, transport and other land costs is $1499.00 ex flights.  

 We will enjoy a mix of volunteering and supporting remote villages with water and sanitation projects, and school education/infrastructure needs as identified by local teachers, commune leaders and the district governors.  All World of Difference projects are locally identified and community relationships critical to their success. The cultural and fun aspects on a tour are second to none, and accommodation and food are of a great standard.  For more information please contact me on 0410 324 537 or bstephens.rotary@gmail.com
