The Lao government has again said it won’t proceed on the controversial dam before gaining approval from the international community, and in particular the downstream countries.
This is great news, if it remains true, for the Mekong communities (not just human) in north-east Cambodia who would have their homes and livelihoods destroyed by the likely consequences of this dam.
Happy Khmer New Year 13th 04 2012, may you and your family be blessed with peaceful, successful, healthy, wealthy, lucky and prosperous for the whole year though.
Join us for Mekong Giving Thanks Day on Wednesday April the 11th as we celebrate the Mekong River and all it provides people with.
Organised by CRDT in cooperation with Kratie’s Provincial Government and the Kratie NGO network the even aims to raise people’s awareness of the threats and issues facing the Mekong River in 2012 and beyond. We want people to get involved in active protection of the river for their own lives and the lives of future generations.
Thank you Mekong!

Jacqueline Lee of GlobalGiving has added CRDT’s current GlobalGiving project to her milestone birthday fundraiser.
From March 28 until April 28, she hopes to raise $5000 towards organisations’ GlobalGiving projects she has visited, creating a positive impact that helps in breaking the cycle of poverty.
Visit her fundraiser and consider helping out not just our work, but the work of other projects in Cambodia too with a donation.
Thanks.
Last weekend CRDT were proud to host a visitor from GlobalGiving.org who came to see what we’ve been up to with the money donated through our GlobalGiving projects… Read more about her experiences here.
Also you could support to our current GlobalGiving project.
Thanks!
Here’s a shot of the PEPY team sitting around a little something CRDT sent over to say thanks for all their support over the years. They’ve always shown us a helping hand and an organisational hug and often send groups of learners young and old over to the community based tourism site on Koh Pdao.
PEPY is an educational development organisation focusing on rural Cambodia. Head on over the website to find out more.

CRDTours has (finally) received confirmation of our official status as a tour company from the Ministry of Tourism. Forms have been stamped and checked, signed, sealed and delivered and now we’re able to advertise our services with much bravado…
Tola and Ravy made transporting the new CRDTours sandwich board upon a scooter look easy, probably because they were so happy about being officially official!
You can find out more about CRDTours on the website, so why don’t you hop over there now and see how they can help you discover north-east Cambodia?
