The Pepy Ride!

I joined an organized ride sponsored by an international non-profit that raises money to support rural schools in Cambodia. It's called PEPY- Protect the Earth, Protect Yourself: http://www.pepyride.org I spent about a week with them, visited the school they built, and had an incredible time! We also did a lot of sightseeing and visted other non-profits working in Cambodia. Pepy is doing amazing work here, and I really felt like I made a difference. Thank you to all the amazing people I met on the trip for making it a memorable trip, and thank you Kevin and Emma for riding with me and taking some of the pictures posted here. Here's a link to a map of Cambodia: http://www.canbypublications.com/maps/camroad.htm
