Make a Difference: Shinta Mani Angkor 'Open Doors, Open Hearts' Community Outreach Package
Make a Difference
Our 'Open Doors, Open Hearts' Community Outreach package enables guests to visit the Foundation and see the work they do first hand and to make a difference with water well donated under their name. Guests will also meet some of the graduates of the School during their stay who are employed at the trendy Shinta Mani Angkor - an exquisite Bill Bensley-designed boutique resort comprising 39 rooms, located in the leafy French Quarter of the city between the Royal Gardens and the Old Market area, just footsteps from the river and 15 minutes from the magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Temples of Angkor Wat.
Background:
The Shinta Mani Foundation (SMF) seeks to be a leader in responsible tourism. The goal of SMF is to enhance the lives of the individuals in the local communities where we operate - by increasing their human capital and providing them the tools to overcome the constraints of poverty.
Founded by Mr. Sokoun Chanpreda, a Cambodian businessman who returned from overseas to invest in the future of his country, the SMF is guided by his philosophy of Open Doors, Open Hearts. The Foundation operates today in the three core areas of education, healthcare, and direct assistance.
Shinta Mani's community activities began in 2004 with the opening of the Shinta Mani School of Hospitality on the grounds of Shinta Mani Siem Reap, a boutique hotel owned by Mr. Sokoun. This innovative program, which received international recognition for its efforts, trained underprivileged Cambodians in aspects of world-class hotel operations on a free of charge basis-providing them the skills to secure employment and to enjoy a brighter future. Since 2004, more than 229 Khmer students have graduated from the Shinta Mani School of Hospitality and still enjoy employment in the immediate township and local countryside.
Your experience also includes a full-day tour to Angkor temple and its surrounded, village visit lead with Shinta Mani Foundation and donation one water well to a family, dinner with show at Bambu Stage Siem Reap, and a relaxing lunch at Kroya restaurants during your stay. It will be a trip to remember and one that makes an on-going difference for years to come.
