- (1888PressRelease) December 06, 2013 - Sydney, Australia - Over 40 NGOs (Non-Governmental Organisations) have been singled out for doing great work in the new book 'UNSUNG HEROES CAMBODIA: People and Projects Making a Difference'. Volunteer projects range from helping children, education, building homes, caring for elephants or Asiatic bears, health care, arts, hospitality, ecotourism and more.
'UNSUNG HEROES CAMBODIA' provides a fascinating read about how they started and what they are doing to help the country heal from the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge.
There is contact information to make it easy to explore donating to them or helping in person. Plus there's a Voluntering Guide filled with practical tips.
It even raises some complex issues about voluntourism and how one could actually be doing damage instead of good simply because they weren't aware. "For instance did you know that giving a few coins to children begging on the street could be sentencing them to a lifetime of poverty? Or that by visiting orphanages that you could be breaking up families," asks Shawna Hartley, one of the three co-authors of the book.
The large format soft cover book has 168 pages and is filled with stunning photography revealing a side of Cambodia most tourists are not aware exists.
Designed to inspire more people to become a hero, the book immediately makes each buyer an unsung hero as the not-for-profit copy benefits the projets featured.
