19-29 March 2009
Cambodia is one of the most heavily mined and unexploded ordnance-contaminated countries in the world. MAG has been operational in the country since 1992, clearing the remnants of conflict from both the Vietnam War (1959-1975) and the Cambodian–Vietnamese War (1975-1989).
MAG's work in Cambodia does not just save lives; it clears the path to the country's rural development. The extent of contamination in the country means that much of the rural population lives day-to-day with the threat of injury or death outside their door. MAG is helping to provide the solution.
This challenge is one that brings you into the real essence of Cambodia. We spend two days trekking around the 800 year old temples of the greater Angkor Wat region and then work on a community project to build Cambodian style houses for the poor and victims of landmines.
Our last day will be spent visiting a MAG project to see the amazing, life saving work being done and meet the heroes dedicating their lives to destroying landmines. The history, trekking, building project and warmth and friendliness of the Cambodian people will leave us with great memories of an amazing challenge.
