Cambodia has been the experience of a life time. I loved every second of the trip and I know that I will never forget any of the amazing things that have happened. There is only one thing that I could think of to sum up the trip and that is... 5,3,4... that was absolutely sensational! - Shari
The feeling I get by helping others through their hardships is indescribable, has made me realize how lucky we are to have all the things we take for granted and put things into perspective. - Gaby M
Words cannot Describe how amazing it was to help Cambodian families in need - Romy
It was very interesting to spend time in a country where its culture and environment is drastically different to that of Australia. It was an amazing feeling to help families in poverty, and especially to hand a very pregnant woman a toy for her future child - Mia
Seeing families with so little is heartbreaking therefore, knowing that I could change such amazing peoples lives filled me with so much joy. Cambodia is an experience I will always treasure, It was an incredible way to experience community service and I can definitely say I have given it my all. I love cambodia! -Tara. K.
This trip has been such an rewarding experience as we have had the pleasure in helping such less fortunate families. Seeing the way people live was educating and it made me realize how lucky I am for the life I am able to live. -Ruby.L.
The reason I chose to come to Cambodia was to help unfortunate people and get an experience of a life time, this all happened within 9 days. There are a lot of people who cant even have a piece of bread for lunch and I am very fortunate to be living in a country where we don't have to worry about where our next meal is coming from. I have had a great time and I enjoyed spending time with my friends and the whole group. The next years group will have an amazing time and I encourage the lower years to experience this trip because they will never forget it. - Jessica
Coming to Cambodia was an enormous eye-opener for me. Everybody says that it's oh so important to give tzadka but I thought that I should take charity to another level by accompanying the money we raised to the houses we are building.
Travelling to a country, whose population was almost completely wiped and seeing a bustling, energetic nation with the happiest people I have seen anyhere was truly unbeliveable. This country's optimism and felicity should spread to the other nations of the world, and hopefully the world would be a better place.
As Henry Wadsworth Longfellow says “The life of a man consists not in seeing visions and in dreaming dreams, but in active charity and in willing service”.

Coming to Cambodia is truly one of the best experiences of my life! seeing how people with so little so happy and excited is truly inspiring! whilst learning about the Pol Pot regime we learnt how similar the Pol Pot regime was to world war 2 in the way that one man took over and ruined an entire generation. from travelling to cambodia i have learnt so much and it as really enriched my life. - Alex
This trip has been an amazing experience for me. I have loved being in Cambodia with my friends, throughout this trip. I have learnt a great deal as to why we actually have come to built these houses for these families who are in desperate need of them. I am so glad that I have had this opportunity to help these people. As well as have an experience of a lifetime. - Ash
Eight days, hundreds of laughter, thousands of memories. We have broken the stereotype placed on our generation, that we are lazy, careless, and unaware of anything but ourselves. This trip has opened our eyes to the harsh reality of people who are just like us, that live so differently. In eight simple, hard, hot days, we have changed as a group of people, physically and mentally, and it has just gone way too fast. I'll never forget all the people we have met, the things we have seen, and how just a small group of generous people can make such a large contribution and alteration to someone's lifestyle. I know now that we have accomplished everything that we have set out to do and more. I'll never ever again complain of the life we lead in good ol' Melbourne, and I know that I will definitely come back to Cambodia hopefully very shortly. - Montana
These eight days have been such a great experience for me, everyday changed my life in a different way and all i am happy they did. The weather was so hot and we got so sweaty but it was all worth it. When i saw all the unfortunate children my heart sank and i wanted to help all of them. i will never forget any of the people and especially children that i met. This was my second time in cambodia and i loved it even more then the first time because each time i went they were such different experiences. hopefully i will be back in cambodia soon! - Nat
Unbeliavable is the only adjective which could fit this experience in Cambodia. We have really done everything here. We have had so much fun here but on the other side of the spectrum we have done a lot of hard work. This experience will be truly treasured and I have many memories from here of which I will never ever forget. I am very happy that I have been provided with these opportunities to help. - Jay
I can't believe this journey has alredy come to its end. This has by far the best experience of my life.l My favourite 3 things on this trip has been the project of building the houses, the bargening in the markets and the disco on a party boat. I didn't want this to end so soon. -Doron
We began as a group of Australians who have spent time in an attempt to help some less fortunate human beings. We did not have a full understanding of anything we were about to do and now that we have come to the end of this extraordinary experience, we can feel a sense of fulfilment and success, as well as a wider understanding of the world we live in outside perfect Melbourne. -Josh (c)
This trip has been truly life changing. Learning about and witnessing first hand the way in which the people of Cambodia live has been an eye opening experience and has made me incredibly grateful for my good fortune. I am so happy that we have been able to help the people of Cambodia in so many ways and I will forever cherish the incredible memories of this trip. - Gideon
