Introducing myself and my journal: Cambodia, Education, Volunteers, and Chaos

About Me:
I moved to Cambodia in 2005 after organizing a fundraising bike-ride through Cambodia. Our organization, PEPY, funds educational development programs in rural Cambodia and is funded through volunteer and adventure tours. I am skeptical of both the development and volunteer tourism industries, trying to go \"better\" in areas where I see a lot of harm being done, still making mistakes, and trying to decide if \"better\" is good enough.

My Passions:
education, traveling, kite surfing

My Challenges:
patience, single-tasking, only 24 hours in a day

My Vision for the Future:
a world-aware generation who their neighbors, know the value of the food and the products they buy and where they come from, and have a geniune interest in those who are dissimilar from them

My Areas of Expertise:
sharing my passions for a project with others
