Vuthy's Homestay & Farm in Cambodia

Donation protected
Hello beautiful people, I am asking for your help in financially supporting a friend of mine I made while traveling through Cambodia. Vuthy is a man I met while on a trek through the jungle in Northeast Cambodia, a region that has been devastated by war and brutal political regimes in which financial recovery, among other things, have been slow.
Vuthy served as our guide on the trek, and having grown up in this part of world, knows much about plants, plant medicine, and how to live off the land. He is a father, husband, eldest brother, and a force in his community always working towards supporting his family and those around him any way that he can. His goal is to have a home stay (guesthouse) and a working farm in order to provide work for him and his family,  and to provide a wide range of local produce and jobs for his community. The homestay and farm would also serve as a place for cultural exchange.  Travelers at the homestay would have the opportunity to learn about Khmer agriculture and culture as well as offer their time teaching English to children in the free community classes Vuthy would provide in his home.
Vuthy shared much with me about his life and life during and after the Khmer Rouge for the Cambodian people. I will forever be grateful to him for deepening and expanding my understanding of the people and history of this part of the world and I ask you to help me make his dreams come true. Our goal to fund Vuthy's Farm and Homestay is not much by American standards but would do so much in helping him and many others achieve financial independence with a sustainable business.  This would also free him to focus on other passions he has for working within his community. No donation is too small and anything will be most appreciated. Love you all so much~
