May 11 lecture on Cambodia
For the past few years, Rick DaSilva and Gary Sousa have helped organize and chaperone multiple student service trips on behalf of Tabor Academy.
Last summer they led a group of 32 students to the village of Sophy, located about 20 miles southeast of Siem Reap, Cambodia.
On Thursday, May 11, the Taber Library will host a talk by DaSilva and Sousa - learn about their experience helping to build houses, construct bridges, dig wells, and teach children, all the while working and living among local inhabitants in group homestays. The lecture will begin at 6 p.m.
In addition to reflecting on the needs and customs of rural Cambodians, Rick and Gary will share images from tours of various temples, such as Angkor Wat, a United Nations World Heritage site.
