PEPY gives people a chance to be a small part of something larger and the funds donated support educational development programs year round, not like any "sand pit projects" you might be refering to. Next time you travel, I hope you have the chance to support a sustainable development program and I hope you will see that, with the right commitment of time and dedicated people, this type of tourism can change much more than just the lives of those who travel with us.

There are over a million tourists coming to Cambodia each year, and those tourists are looking for places where they can give their money. Many sadly do not travel with groups like PEPY, and are not shown sustainable places to give their money. Instead, they give a dollar to a child on the street, which they goes into the pocket of that child's "pimp", so that he can then buy more children with which to beg. We are a NON-RELIGIOUS organization.

so what does this pepy organisation do besides saying happy Christmas to poor kids and glamorising there egos like most help organisations in america. yes i know build a sand pit for the helpless which costs christian churches thousands to send these people over there to have a nice holiday when they could send the money instead to poor people to build there own sand pit and have extra money to buy food.

PEPY has raised over a quater of a million dollars for educational programs in Cambodia in the two years we have been based there. Travelers with PEPY pay for their own flights, their own trips, and they have a minimum donation amount of $500 per week. This video was made by PEPY volunteers who worked on our educational programs for over 6 month and had taught an English class that week with our local teacher about ther holidays.
