Project Background: Cambodia has been a country of global interest due to the facts that remain from the past tragedy with its smaller population in the previous centuries; factors of social, cultural, and environmental issues have been the ongoing subject matters to be concerned. Nowadays, Cambodia faces a myriad of challenges, including environmental degradation, water scarcity, unsustainable farming practices, and rural poverty. Many communities, particularly in rural areas, are grappling with limited access to education, skill-building resources, and opportunities for economic development. Project Objectives: Improve the local drinking water quality by teaching the community about the goods of moringa seeds. Empower youth to contribute to sustainable solutions and community development through introducing sustainable farming species to make use of the land to the largest extent. Provide students with a “live like a local” experience through an immersive living and service experience in a rural Cambodian environment distinct from Hong Kong.

Broaden the horizons of the local children and youth through cultural exchange and education. Cultivate participants' global perspective by fostering empathy and building strong connections with the local community through immersive, authentic experiences.
