Even though the weather is a little bit hot but everyone is happy and actively cleaning and painting the playground. In the afternoon we conducted Education program and games with the students. All the IAYSP Korea, IAYSP Cambodia and students really unite with one another and the students are really attentive and happy to experience this kind of activities like making art and playing games.
On the 2nd day of the event, we conducted a Giving Donations Project at the same school, Samrong Tong Primary School. We gave donations such as school supplies, sport equipment, food etc., that’s why all the children are very happy and inspired to study hard and have a better future. IAYSP Korea and IAYSP Cambodia offer wonderful performances and dance naturally in front of inspiring students in school. We finished with so many smiles and happy hearts seeing the beautiful and happy smiles of all the students. Also right after the giving donation program we also did a garbage collecting project in Riverside.
Some of the IAYSP-Korea members did fundraising and did part time jobs in order to come to Cambodia and give donations to the students. All of them were really inspired to see all the students smile at them. All their difficult experiences changed positively and they were determined to go back to Cambodia and do service projects again. The school principal is really thankful to IAYSP Korea and IAYSP Cambodia to organize this wonderful service project.

IAYSP Cambodia with the partnership of IAYSP Korea successfully conducted the 2024 Peace Designers Global Action in Cambodia with the the aim “Study Tour in Angkor Wat Temple, Tonle Sap and Choeung Ek Genocidal Center”. We had 40 participants.
The IAYSP Korea and IAYSP Cambodia finished peace designers training and service project last February 21-23, 2024. That’s why they have the opportunity to do a study tour in Angkor Wat Temple, Tonle Sap and Choeung Ek Genocidal Center or Killing Field in Cambodia on February 24-25, 2024.
All the IAYSP Korea and IAYSP Cambodia really thankful for this opportunity to visit and have study tour it is because they know only in the internet or social media but through this experienced, they witness and saw directly the historical temple, beautiful Tonle Sap and the sad history happened in Cambodia at Choeung Ek Genocidal Center or Killing Field.
Through this study tour they realized many things and they are really thankful because if they didn’t have activity here in Cambodia they really don’t know about history in Cambodia especially the sad history in Killing field. After they visited killing field, they visited amazing and historical Angkor Wat Temple, all of them really amazed and most of them first time to visit Angkor Wat Temple that’s why they did self-meditation and offer prayer for those people who was killed during the Pol Pot Regime in Cambodia.
All of them had mixed emotions after they witnessed and visited the Choeung Ek Genocidal Center or Killing Field, visited the beautiful Tonle Sap and the amazing and historical Angkor Wat Temple. Some of them shed tears during the reflection or sharing time before they go back to Korea and some of them are determined to make money, save money and come back again to Cambodia. Thank you.
