Mondulkiri Local Project is ran by Mr. Vanleang , who is a local tribe guy with Mr Winh , Nara , Dul, Hong , Meng , Lonh , Tath , Tith , Tik , Soum, Pukto....., Who are tribe (Punong) people at Putang village. We organize tours to support the Putang Village, a Punong community living at 10km from Sen Monorom town. We are working everyday We are not an NGO or non-profit organization project , we do not receive any government or private funds. We are local people with an aim to provide our customers with the right resources to invest their money wisely . One of the many differences between our program and that of other tour services is that we are on site, meaning we are continuously working with the Punong people, understanding their needs and trying to find solutions to help them become more resilient, regarding globalization and foreign companies looking to exploit their community and lands. The money that we gather from our tours is directly distributed to the needs of the community, by helping the local people generate their own income and business, for example the homestay at our Putang Village, their hand-crafted shop and the trekking in the jungle with the local guide helps each guide support his family. It is important to us not to try to westernize the Punong community but to help keep the traditions and culture alive, and making them proud to share these traditions , knowledge and way of living with tourists. We are so sorry to all tourists but this is what happening in our community that why we would like to forced our mind to show you guys to understand What is it? Where are they from?They are not local organization projects How to know real or fake Non-government Organizations (NGO) in Mondulkiri Mondulkiri has two type of Non-Government Organizations (NGO) The first are non-profit projects. These involve local people as key stake holders and up partners with other organizations nationally to gain support. They do not aim to make a profit from tourist. -Not working on Saturdays and Sundays ( Cambodia law ) -Not charged anything over $10 per day -Not keep animals in their projects because in this area enough forest for animals living The second are for-profit enterprises . These organizations market themselves as charitable ventures but ultimately aim to generate a profit from tourism. Often they’re foreigners owned and your money not really goes straight to help local communities. Especially the law in Cambodia all NGO wasn’t working on Saturdays and Sundays and do not set up the prices like business but they are opposite So if you guys see any NGO in Mondulkiri -working on Saturdays and Sundays. Especially Khmer New Years,Khmer water festival, Khmer Pchom Bin,king birthday, queen birthday......as well -charged anything over $10 from tourists -keep elephants or other animals in their Projects it’s mean they are not real. All NGO make the same things with elephants ( why do they not work or combined together? ) Please research and consider where you choose to spend your money when considering helping local communities develop sustainable jobs and preserve the elephants. |
