[post_content] => A 10-minute drive north will have you standing in front of the famous Angkor Wat.
A 10-minute drive south will put you in the heart of it all. Tuk tuks (local motor-biked powered chariots), bikes, motorcyclists, food carts swirl around you at a dizzying pace. The streets are packed with bars, boutiques, book stores, pharmacies, cafes. There is a wide and impressive selection dining options that include many Indian, Thai, Italian, and Mexican restaurants. There is a local goods market on the weekends which is complimented nicely by a farmers market every Sunday morning. Cafes serve wonderful Sunday brunches and show Cambodian themed movies every Monday night. There are shopping malls where you can buy all of the western comforts that you would crave while abroad and there are local markets that sell roasted insects, squid, and local sugar candy. There are local language classes, cooking classes, yoga sessions, and even quiz nights to be stumbled upon. This is not your typical field station.
Coming from the SFS Center in Tanzania where I was the Student Affairs Manager for a year and a half, I was beyond excited to see the amazing opportunities that this field station had to offer. We’re not tucked away in a remote village – we are right in the heart of Siem Reap – a city that is rapidly growing and changing right in front of our eyes. It’s unlike any city I’ve ever lived in before and I am excited to get to know it even better over the next semester!

[description] => The Lower Mekong Basin, extending over most of Cambodia and incorporating the great Tonle Sap Lake, hosts diverse ecosystems, including lowland evergreen forests, dry dipterocarp forests, seasonally flooded gallery forests, and estuarine mangroves which give rise to the Indo-Burma global biodiversity hotspot. Students examine the dynamics and ethical challenges surrounding environmental change and development in the Lower Mekong Basin. They also learn about the complexity of Cambodia's struggle to balance biodiversity, development, and human needs.

[post_content] => A 10-minute drive north will have you standing in front of the famous Angkor Wat.
A 10-minute drive south will put you in the heart of it all. Tuk tuks (local motor-biked powered chariots), bikes, motorcyclists, food carts swirl around you at a dizzying pace. The streets are packed with bars, boutiques, book stores, pharmacies, cafes. There is a wide and impressive selection dining options that include many Indian, Thai, Italian, and Mexican restaurants. There is a local goods market on the weekends which is complimented nicely by a farmers market every Sunday morning. Cafes serve wonderful Sunday brunches and show Cambodian themed movies every Monday night. There are shopping malls where you can buy all of the western comforts that you would crave while abroad and there are local markets that sell roasted insects, squid, and local sugar candy. There are local language classes, cooking classes, yoga sessions, and even quiz nights to be stumbled upon. This is not your typical field station.
Coming from the SFS Center in Tanzania where I was the Student Affairs Manager for a year and a half, I was beyond excited to see the amazing opportunities that this field station had to offer. We’re not tucked away in a remote village – we are right in the heart of Siem Reap – a city that is rapidly growing and changing right in front of our eyes. It’s unlike any city I’ve ever lived in before and I am excited to get to know it even better over the next semester!

[post_content] => One day a week, students at the Moyo Hill Center for Wildlife Management Studies get day off from classes and are given the opportunity to experience the areas around camp. So far the students have been able to practice their Swahili and bargaining skills at local markets and have learned how to paint traditional Tanzanian paintings. This past Saturday the students were presented with the rarestof opportunities—to experience Mtu wa Mbu ("River of Mosquitos," the town located at the lower edge of the Great Rift Valley Escarpment, right outside of Lake Manyara National Park) by bike.
As the twenty "wanafunzi" ("students") and their experienced guides from the Mtu wa Mbu Cultural Tourism Center set off on their bikes down the bumpy dirt roads towards Lake Manyara, they peddled through neighborhoods, fields of banana trees, past a herd of baboons, and ended up on the edge of Lake Manyara—a gorgeous lake dotted with flocks of flamingos and small homemade canoes that locals use to fish. It was a beautiful ride set to a uniquely gorgeous backdrop.
As the wanafunzi headed back down the bumpy track towards town they got to experience the lesser-seen side of Mtu wa Mbu. Yes they have amazing animals and beautiful vistas, but the people and their crafts are the true hidden gem of the region. The students were able to visit a wood-working workshop where they learned about the carving process that goes into creating the intricately detailed works depicting animals and people.
They were then taken to visit a painter’s guild where they learned about the three kinds of traditional Tanzanian paintings (Tinga-tinga, knife painting, and "fine art"). These two stops gave the wanafunzi a chance to fully appreciate the thought, effort, and skill that goes into creating these works of art. All in all it was a unique opportunity to see and experience Mtu wa Mbu. We are looking forward to more days like this one!

[post_content] => Education in and of itself can build up entire communities by boosting the competence and confidence of the younger generation who will eventually have the ability to transform a community. If you want to give everyone a competitive chance to make it in the world, you've got to start with the schools and the students. Unfortunately, in a country like Tanzania that has a large population of children and an inadequate budget to fund the many government schools that teach them, some schools need a little bit of help.
In the fall of 2013, SFS started long-term renovation community service work at Akko Primary School—a school of 10 teachers and upwards of 250 students all between the ages of six and thirteen—with the construction of a classroom for the students. After five days of hard work, two groups of students constructed a solid cement floor for this classroom. Over the next month, cement walls, glass windows, and a door were installed to create a beautiful learning environment for the students. In early March 2014, the school and the Rhotia community held a ceremony to officially inaugurate the classroom and thank our Center for all of its hard work and contributions. Prominent members of the community were in attendance as well as students and their parents.
The guest of honor for the ceremony was the Karatu District Commissioner who led the ceremony and handed certificates of appreciation to SFS and other stakeholders who contributed in the class room renovation work.Karatu District Commissioner Mr. Daudi Ntibenda (sixth in line from left) at a ceremony to officially open the new classroom renovated with support from SFS. With him are leaders from the Rhotia village community.
It was wonderful to see all those who this gesture had helped—not only the students and teachers who are using this classroom, but the parents and community members also. In this close-knit community, everyone is invested in the students' education, and we at SFS are grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute.

[post_content] => A 10-minute drive north will have you standing in front of the famous Angkor Wat.
A 10-minute drive south will put you in the heart of it all. Tuk tuks (local motor-biked powered chariots), bikes, motorcyclists, food carts swirl around you at a dizzying pace. The streets are packed with bars, boutiques, book stores, pharmacies, cafes. There is a wide and impressive selection dining options that include many Indian, Thai, Italian, and Mexican restaurants. There is a local goods market on the weekends which is complimented nicely by a farmers market every Sunday morning. Cafes serve wonderful Sunday brunches and show Cambodian themed movies every Monday night. There are shopping malls where you can buy all of the western comforts that you would crave while abroad and there are local markets that sell roasted insects, squid, and local sugar candy. There are local language classes, cooking classes, yoga sessions, and even quiz nights to be stumbled upon. This is not your typical field station.
Coming from the SFS Center in Tanzania where I was the Student Affairs Manager for a year and a half, I was beyond excited to see the amazing opportunities that this field station had to offer. We’re not tucked away in a remote village – we are right in the heart of Siem Reap – a city that is rapidly growing and changing right in front of our eyes. It’s unlike any city I’ve ever lived in before and I am excited to get to know it even better over the next semester!

[post_content] => One day a week, students at the Moyo Hill Center for Wildlife Management Studies get day off from classes and are given the opportunity to experience the areas around camp. So far the students have been able to practice their Swahili and bargaining skills at local markets and have learned how to paint traditional Tanzanian paintings. This past Saturday the students were presented with the rarestof opportunities—to experience Mtu wa Mbu ("River of Mosquitos," the town located at the lower edge of the Great Rift Valley Escarpment, right outside of Lake Manyara National Park) by bike.
As the twenty "wanafunzi" ("students") and their experienced guides from the Mtu wa Mbu Cultural Tourism Center set off on their bikes down the bumpy dirt roads towards Lake Manyara, they peddled through neighborhoods, fields of banana trees, past a herd of baboons, and ended up on the edge of Lake Manyara—a gorgeous lake dotted with flocks of flamingos and small homemade canoes that locals use to fish. It was a beautiful ride set to a uniquely gorgeous backdrop.
As the wanafunzi headed back down the bumpy track towards town they got to experience the lesser-seen side of Mtu wa Mbu. Yes they have amazing animals and beautiful vistas, but the people and their crafts are the true hidden gem of the region. The students were able to visit a wood-working workshop where they learned about the carving process that goes into creating the intricately detailed works depicting animals and people.
They were then taken to visit a painter’s guild where they learned about the three kinds of traditional Tanzanian paintings (Tinga-tinga, knife painting, and "fine art"). These two stops gave the wanafunzi a chance to fully appreciate the thought, effort, and skill that goes into creating these works of art. All in all it was a unique opportunity to see and experience Mtu wa Mbu. We are looking forward to more days like this one!

[post_content] => Education in and of itself can build up entire communities by boosting the competence and confidence of the younger generation who will eventually have the ability to transform a community. If you want to give everyone a competitive chance to make it in the world, you've got to start with the schools and the students. Unfortunately, in a country like Tanzania that has a large population of children and an inadequate budget to fund the many government schools that teach them, some schools need a little bit of help.
In the fall of 2013, SFS started long-term renovation community service work at Akko Primary School—a school of 10 teachers and upwards of 250 students all between the ages of six and thirteen—with the construction of a classroom for the students. After five days of hard work, two groups of students constructed a solid cement floor for this classroom. Over the next month, cement walls, glass windows, and a door were installed to create a beautiful learning environment for the students. In early March 2014, the school and the Rhotia community held a ceremony to officially inaugurate the classroom and thank our Center for all of its hard work and contributions. Prominent members of the community were in attendance as well as students and their parents.
The guest of honor for the ceremony was the Karatu District Commissioner who led the ceremony and handed certificates of appreciation to SFS and other stakeholders who contributed in the class room renovation work.Karatu District Commissioner Mr. Daudi Ntibenda (sixth in line from left) at a ceremony to officially open the new classroom renovated with support from SFS. With him are leaders from the Rhotia village community.
It was wonderful to see all those who this gesture had helped—not only the students and teachers who are using this classroom, but the parents and community members also. In this close-knit community, everyone is invested in the students' education, and we at SFS are grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute.

[post_content] => A 10-minute drive north will have you standing in front of the famous Angkor Wat.
A 10-minute drive south will put you in the heart of it all. Tuk tuks (local motor-biked powered chariots), bikes, motorcyclists, food carts swirl around you at a dizzying pace. The streets are packed with bars, boutiques, book stores, pharmacies, cafes. There is a wide and impressive selection dining options that include many Indian, Thai, Italian, and Mexican restaurants. There is a local goods market on the weekends which is complimented nicely by a farmers market every Sunday morning. Cafes serve wonderful Sunday brunches and show Cambodian themed movies every Monday night. There are shopping malls where you can buy all of the western comforts that you would crave while abroad and there are local markets that sell roasted insects, squid, and local sugar candy. There are local language classes, cooking classes, yoga sessions, and even quiz nights to be stumbled upon. This is not your typical field station.
Coming from the SFS Center in Tanzania where I was the Student Affairs Manager for a year and a half, I was beyond excited to see the amazing opportunities that this field station had to offer. We’re not tucked away in a remote village – we are right in the heart of Siem Reap – a city that is rapidly growing and changing right in front of our eyes. It’s unlike any city I’ve ever lived in before and I am excited to get to know it even better over the next semester!

[post_content] => One day a week, students at the Moyo Hill Center for Wildlife Management Studies get day off from classes and are given the opportunity to experience the areas around camp. So far the students have been able to practice their Swahili and bargaining skills at local markets and have learned how to paint traditional Tanzanian paintings. This past Saturday the students were presented with the rarestof opportunities—to experience Mtu wa Mbu ("River of Mosquitos," the town located at the lower edge of the Great Rift Valley Escarpment, right outside of Lake Manyara National Park) by bike.
As the twenty "wanafunzi" ("students") and their experienced guides from the Mtu wa Mbu Cultural Tourism Center set off on their bikes down the bumpy dirt roads towards Lake Manyara, they peddled through neighborhoods, fields of banana trees, past a herd of baboons, and ended up on the edge of Lake Manyara—a gorgeous lake dotted with flocks of flamingos and small homemade canoes that locals use to fish. It was a beautiful ride set to a uniquely gorgeous backdrop.
As the wanafunzi headed back down the bumpy track towards town they got to experience the lesser-seen side of Mtu wa Mbu. Yes they have amazing animals and beautiful vistas, but the people and their crafts are the true hidden gem of the region. The students were able to visit a wood-working workshop where they learned about the carving process that goes into creating the intricately detailed works depicting animals and people.
They were then taken to visit a painter’s guild where they learned about the three kinds of traditional Tanzanian paintings (Tinga-tinga, knife painting, and "fine art"). These two stops gave the wanafunzi a chance to fully appreciate the thought, effort, and skill that goes into creating these works of art. All in all it was a unique opportunity to see and experience Mtu wa Mbu. We are looking forward to more days like this one!

[post_content] => Education in and of itself can build up entire communities by boosting the competence and confidence of the younger generation who will eventually have the ability to transform a community. If you want to give everyone a competitive chance to make it in the world, you've got to start with the schools and the students. Unfortunately, in a country like Tanzania that has a large population of children and an inadequate budget to fund the many government schools that teach them, some schools need a little bit of help.
In the fall of 2013, SFS started long-term renovation community service work at Akko Primary School—a school of 10 teachers and upwards of 250 students all between the ages of six and thirteen—with the construction of a classroom for the students. After five days of hard work, two groups of students constructed a solid cement floor for this classroom. Over the next month, cement walls, glass windows, and a door were installed to create a beautiful learning environment for the students. In early March 2014, the school and the Rhotia community held a ceremony to officially inaugurate the classroom and thank our Center for all of its hard work and contributions. Prominent members of the community were in attendance as well as students and their parents.
The guest of honor for the ceremony was the Karatu District Commissioner who led the ceremony and handed certificates of appreciation to SFS and other stakeholders who contributed in the class room renovation work.Karatu District Commissioner Mr. Daudi Ntibenda (sixth in line from left) at a ceremony to officially open the new classroom renovated with support from SFS. With him are leaders from the Rhotia village community.
It was wonderful to see all those who this gesture had helped—not only the students and teachers who are using this classroom, but the parents and community members also. In this close-knit community, everyone is invested in the students' education, and we at SFS are grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute.

[post_content] => A 10-minute drive north will have you standing in front of the famous Angkor Wat.
A 10-minute drive south will put you in the heart of it all. Tuk tuks (local motor-biked powered chariots), bikes, motorcyclists, food carts swirl around you at a dizzying pace. The streets are packed with bars, boutiques, book stores, pharmacies, cafes. There is a wide and impressive selection dining options that include many Indian, Thai, Italian, and Mexican restaurants. There is a local goods market on the weekends which is complimented nicely by a farmers market every Sunday morning. Cafes serve wonderful Sunday brunches and show Cambodian themed movies every Monday night. There are shopping malls where you can buy all of the western comforts that you would crave while abroad and there are local markets that sell roasted insects, squid, and local sugar candy. There are local language classes, cooking classes, yoga sessions, and even quiz nights to be stumbled upon. This is not your typical field station.
Coming from the SFS Center in Tanzania where I was the Student Affairs Manager for a year and a half, I was beyond excited to see the amazing opportunities that this field station had to offer. We’re not tucked away in a remote village – we are right in the heart of Siem Reap – a city that is rapidly growing and changing right in front of our eyes. It’s unlike any city I’ve ever lived in before and I am excited to get to know it even better over the next semester!

[post_content] => One day a week, students at the Moyo Hill Center for Wildlife Management Studies get day off from classes and are given the opportunity to experience the areas around camp. So far the students have been able to practice their Swahili and bargaining skills at local markets and have learned how to paint traditional Tanzanian paintings. This past Saturday the students were presented with the rarestof opportunities—to experience Mtu wa Mbu ("River of Mosquitos," the town located at the lower edge of the Great Rift Valley Escarpment, right outside of Lake Manyara National Park) by bike.
As the twenty "wanafunzi" ("students") and their experienced guides from the Mtu wa Mbu Cultural Tourism Center set off on their bikes down the bumpy dirt roads towards Lake Manyara, they peddled through neighborhoods, fields of banana trees, past a herd of baboons, and ended up on the edge of Lake Manyara—a gorgeous lake dotted with flocks of flamingos and small homemade canoes that locals use to fish. It was a beautiful ride set to a uniquely gorgeous backdrop.
As the wanafunzi headed back down the bumpy track towards town they got to experience the lesser-seen side of Mtu wa Mbu. Yes they have amazing animals and beautiful vistas, but the people and their crafts are the true hidden gem of the region. The students were able to visit a wood-working workshop where they learned about the carving process that goes into creating the intricately detailed works depicting animals and people.
They were then taken to visit a painter’s guild where they learned about the three kinds of traditional Tanzanian paintings (Tinga-tinga, knife painting, and "fine art"). These two stops gave the wanafunzi a chance to fully appreciate the thought, effort, and skill that goes into creating these works of art. All in all it was a unique opportunity to see and experience Mtu wa Mbu. We are looking forward to more days like this one!

[post_content] => Education in and of itself can build up entire communities by boosting the competence and confidence of the younger generation who will eventually have the ability to transform a community. If you want to give everyone a competitive chance to make it in the world, you've got to start with the schools and the students. Unfortunately, in a country like Tanzania that has a large population of children and an inadequate budget to fund the many government schools that teach them, some schools need a little bit of help.
In the fall of 2013, SFS started long-term renovation community service work at Akko Primary School—a school of 10 teachers and upwards of 250 students all between the ages of six and thirteen—with the construction of a classroom for the students. After five days of hard work, two groups of students constructed a solid cement floor for this classroom. Over the next month, cement walls, glass windows, and a door were installed to create a beautiful learning environment for the students. In early March 2014, the school and the Rhotia community held a ceremony to officially inaugurate the classroom and thank our Center for all of its hard work and contributions. Prominent members of the community were in attendance as well as students and their parents.
The guest of honor for the ceremony was the Karatu District Commissioner who led the ceremony and handed certificates of appreciation to SFS and other stakeholders who contributed in the class room renovation work.Karatu District Commissioner Mr. Daudi Ntibenda (sixth in line from left) at a ceremony to officially open the new classroom renovated with support from SFS. With him are leaders from the Rhotia village community.
It was wonderful to see all those who this gesture had helped—not only the students and teachers who are using this classroom, but the parents and community members also. In this close-knit community, everyone is invested in the students' education, and we at SFS are grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute.

[post_content] => A 10-minute drive north will have you standing in front of the famous Angkor Wat.
A 10-minute drive south will put you in the heart of it all. Tuk tuks (local motor-biked powered chariots), bikes, motorcyclists, food carts swirl around you at a dizzying pace. The streets are packed with bars, boutiques, book stores, pharmacies, cafes. There is a wide and impressive selection dining options that include many Indian, Thai, Italian, and Mexican restaurants. There is a local goods market on the weekends which is complimented nicely by a farmers market every Sunday morning. Cafes serve wonderful Sunday brunches and show Cambodian themed movies every Monday night. There are shopping malls where you can buy all of the western comforts that you would crave while abroad and there are local markets that sell roasted insects, squid, and local sugar candy. There are local language classes, cooking classes, yoga sessions, and even quiz nights to be stumbled upon. This is not your typical field station.
Coming from the SFS Center in Tanzania where I was the Student Affairs Manager for a year and a half, I was beyond excited to see the amazing opportunities that this field station had to offer. We’re not tucked away in a remote village – we are right in the heart of Siem Reap – a city that is rapidly growing and changing right in front of our eyes. It’s unlike any city I’ve ever lived in before and I am excited to get to know it even better over the next semester!
