Cambodia and Vietnam Adventure-0Clean Water Project
by: TRENA CARPENTER - United StatesProgram: Vietnam & Cambodia: Project Clean WaterMy son went on the Vietnam/Cambodia trip Summer of 2024. He loved it!! He learned a lot about the culture, food, and just overall had a great life experience. He said the leaders were great and that he enjoyed getting to know the other kids in the group. The planned activities were great and the organization did a great job of teaching the kids about safe eating in foreign countries which was a concern for me. They did some volunteer work, building water filtration systems in Cambodia. My son said that this was easy and really fun. He said one of his favorite activities was going to a school in Cambodia and playing sports with the kids. My son did not know anyone going on this trip, actually none of the kids knew each other. So it was a great experience for all of them to meet kids from all over the country and bond through this experience. I felt very safe knowing he was in good hands. The organization did a great job being very clear on expectations and communication throughout the whole process. I found this organization on the internet while searching last year and am so glad that I just signed my son up for this. I highly recommend this program and organization. I will be sending my other son on a trip through them as well and would recommend this organization to anyone who has a kid that is interested in travelling and seeing the world.
3 weeks high school travel volunteer project
by: tia andampour - United StatesProgram: Vietnam & Cambodia: Project Clean WaterOur sons age 15 and 17 went this past July to travel in Cambodia and Vietnam. They build and install water filter and taught at a school and made facility improvement there (build a wall to keep out livestock and animal out of playground). They were expose to culture, history, local food and lodging. The leader was amazing and the project was impactful and meaningful. Our boys really enjoyed their experiences and in the process really grew as a person. Pre , during and post trip organization, correspondent, updates were very well done and all our questions and needs was promptly accomadated. This is our boys first trip of this type abroad and ARCC made it very easy to do and meaningful. The price point was reasonable for all the support, organization and arrangement that was done. I would highly recommend ARCC and our boys would definitely return again.
Most magical trip I've ever taken
by: Isabelle - United StatesProgram: Vietnam & Cambodia: Project Clean WaterVolunteering with ARCC this summer in Cambodia & Vietnam was one of the best decisions I've made thus far in my life. The volunteer project was beyond impactful- I especially loved teaching English at the primary school! Besides this, being able to experience a new country & culture with complete strangers was an awesome change from daily life. I truly made best friends on this trip that I will never be able to forget, & highly suggest you go on an ARCC trip of your own & do the same thing.
