Angkor Wat International Half-Marathon

December 2014

For their third year running, Team TCRP returned to the ancient city of Angkor with a team of 20 Catalysts in support of Sala Baï Hotel & Restaurant School.

Field Notes

Save for a few familiar faces of Catalysts who have continued their fight against human trafficking with us over the years, many of the Catalysts on this trip were first time change makers. From the floating village on the Tonlé Sap to through the mystical temples of Angkor Wat, Catalysts followed the journey of Khatna, a Sala Baï graduate.

Founded by the French NGO Agir pour le Cambodge, Sala Baï is a hotel and restaurant school. Each year, the school takes in 100 young disadvantaged Cambodians (mostly women) and puts them through a 12-month vocational training program at no cost to the student. Upon graduation, students are employed permanently in the ever growing hospitality industry.

TCRP returns to Siem Reap in December 2015 to continue their fight against Human Trafficking.

"I’m so happy that I am now a catalyst of the TCRP crew. I would strongly recommend this adventure to anyone who is willing to open their hearts to charity, willing to challenge their body to greater distances and lastly willing to just embrace new experiences and discover new friendships.”
