Kampot, CambodiaOur current projects focus exclusively on the province of Kampot, Cambodia.For 30 years, Cambodia was a country torn by war.The low point came during the late 1970’s, when nearly two million Cambodians died under the Khmer Rouge regime.Cambodia’s people are still recovering from that decade of war, and we aim to aid Cambodians in this ongoing process.
Kampot is a region of Cambodia on the south coast blessed with fertile plains, offshore tropical islands, and thousand-meter tall mountain peaks. Like most of Cambodia, it is largely rural and impoverished. Below is a Solaid video set to the music of noted Alaskan musician Willis Fireball.
Please also take a look at our informational video, created by a volunteer who worked with our project in Kampot, that describes some of what we do. |
