Cambodia Challenge 2008

Become a leader while saving lives.

Are you ready to make a commitment to truly making a difference in the world and becoming a leader?

Join Seane and Suzanne on an inner and outer journey.   We will travel to one of the poorest areas of the world, the garbage dumps of Cambodia where small children fend for their families by picking through the trash.

Become a leader with OTM while changing lives.  The trip is a yoga based leadership training course that includes a hands-on Seva experience in Cambodia.

Seane and Suzanne will lead you through two hours of daily yoga, then you will work with the children you see in the video.  In the evenings, you will do some process work and attend local cultural events.  We will also visit some of Cambodia's beautiful historic sites.

After the leadership training you have an opportunity to add one of the wonders of the world onto your journey: a trip to the historic Angkor Wat, where beautiful temples and sunrises await.

The Leadership Challenge

We are taking a small group of leaders and setting a significant fundraising goal for each person who comes on the trip.  The Seva Challenge is about taking a small group of leaders and pushing them to expand their self-confidence and capabilities by exposing them to unique physical and spiritual challenges.  We will leave Cambodia knowing we have saved many lives.  This effort helps participants know that they are leaders who have the ability to find, support and manifest a dream. You have all of 2008, until December 31st to reach the fundraising goal, and we will provide training materials and phone support.

The Journey Dates

February 6 - February 20, 2009*

Cambodian Children's Fund
Using education, training, healthcare and community work to break generational cycles of poverty and abuse.

Founded in 2003 by Scott Neeson, The Cambodian Children's Fund is dedicated to helping Cambodia's poorest, most undereducated and most vulnerable children. 

Our program offers protection, comprehensive healthcare, education and vocational training to over 260 children of whom 150 are full-time residents in our facilities. The majority of our children come from Steung Meanchey, Phnom Penh's notorious garbage dump, where they work picking through garbage for recyclable items to sell. With no schooling, no healthcare and no access to basic public services, these children live in appalling living conditions and have little hope of escaping a life of destitution.
