“A Special Note about our Cambodia Programs:
Since the publication of our 2008 catalog, we have revised and upgraded our operations in Cambodia for this summer. For summer 2008, we will be offering a single, one-week program – Floating Village Service – with an updated and improved itinerary. 12 x 12 x 3 will not be running this summer, however elements of this program have been incorporated into our revamped Floating Village Service program. Please see the program page (linked below) for details.”
