TRAVERSE 168
On the long ride back toward Phnom Penh, the countryside rolls past in shades of green and red dust. It is tempting to think of change as something loud and dramatic, skyscrapers, highways, foreign investment. Yet in villages scattered across Cambodia, change often arrives quietly, on the back of a truck, in pieces of steel and sunlight.
And when those pieces are assembled, tightened, and lifted into place, they become something more than a structure. They become the steady heartbeat of a new beginning.
A Global Village Housing house costs as little as US $ 2,500, a cheap investment in someone’ s future. With an extra US $ 550 an enclosed toilet can be added to ensure privacy and sanitary conditions. Part proceeds from all motorcycle tours run by Cambodia Motorbike Tours and Vietnam Motorbike Tours go toward ensuring those in need get a home they deserve, because as GVH state,“ every person deserves a place to call home”.
