Looking further ahead, the School has recently held an information evening for a Cambodia Service and Cultural Immersion trip in October 2025. Run by World Expeditions, this trip involves a significant service element, where Grammar boys will be building houses for Cambodian families in need, in partnership with “Village House Build Cambodia”. The organisation is a locally run, community-driven non-government organisation, focused on helping poor Cambodian families improve their living conditions. Founded by local Khmer man, Sinn Meang in 2014, the programme provides poor families in rural Siem Reap with housing, wells, water pumps and toilet facilities. The aim is to assist with breaking the poverty cycle and help these families to become self sufficient and able to provide for themselves.
In addition to the main service project, the trip will also include pupils joining the “Keeper for a Day” programme at the “Free the Bears” wildlife sanctuary to help with the bears enrichment programme in Phnom Tamao; a visit to the “Haven” restaurant, a social enterprise restaurant providing disadvantaged youths, and underprivileged adults, professional training and employment in the hospitality industry; and a visit to Tapang Village, where we will join with the local people in a regenerative tree planting conservation programme, which is a fantastic social enterprise set up by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations.
