Welcome to the stories of Smiling Gecko! With the relaunch of our website, we have started to compile some of what moves and drives us at Smiling Gecko in Cambodia and captured it in small articles.<\/p>

These can be reports from the individual areas of the Smiling Gecko Campus, interviews with our employees on site or stories that we find remarkable for some reason. They can be funny, sad or educational. Above all, however, they should do one thing: give hope for a future for rural Cambodia. With this in mind: Have fun browsing!<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The effects of global warming hit a poor country like Cambodia particularly hard. Here people are heavily dependent on agriculture.

In contrast to some regions of Africa, Cambodia actually has significantly better conditions to operate an agricultural economy, for example, as we know it from the neighboring countries Thailand and Vietnam.

\n\t\t\t

A life without music? It’s probably hard for us to imagine. In Cambodia, however, this is the reality. The country’s recent history has meant that large sections of the younger generation grow up without the “natural” integration of music as a form of cultural expression. Widespread poverty and an inadequate school infrastructure also contribute to the lack of cultural expression.

In contrast to some regions of Africa, Cambodia actually has significantly better conditions to operate an agricultural economy, for example, as we know it from the neighboring countries Thailand and Vietnam.
