This semester, walk among ancient temples, traverse mountainous jungles, and explore the clear blue water of Thailand’s beaches. You’ll explore tradition, globalization, and human rights against the backdrop of two of Asia’s most complex nations.

The project is dedicated to helping the domestic elephant population in Cambodia and conserving their habitat. The project primarily works with the tribal Bunong peoples to help them, help their elephants. The end goal is the improvement of the welfare and living conditions of the elephants and to provide a sustainable income for the mahouts (elephant keepers) and their families. Volunteers work 5 days each week, collaborating with mahouts who always accompany the elephants. Duties include: * Learning about the project and the elephants * Learning how to be around elephants * Walking the elephants into the forest to forage The elephants of Cambodia need help, there is little education on the care of these domesticated animals and few possibilities for veterinary assistance when required. The project provides vital jobs for the local population and care for their elephants. Mondulkiri is being rapidly deforested and the project protects an area of "elephant forest" for the local population and the creatures that inhabit the area. The basic fact is the more funding raised, the more forest can be protected for the future.
