Wanted

Seeing Hands

Cambodia is the home of the amazing and unique temples of Angkor. At the same time, and after three decades of war, Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in the world.  

Located in Siem Reap, Cambodia, this organization called Seeing Hands Massage trains blind people in the art of massage and some of the money raised assists blind people in Siem Reap Province.
