We’ve got a very special project cooking at Sabra! This November we’ll be teaming up with adventure philanthropy company Roadmonkey to sponsor community development in Vietnam. A group of journey seeking men and women will be venturing deep into the Mekong Delta to build a revenue and food generating rice paddy & community garden, including a special project sponsored by Sabra. The team will be working alongside the people who will be benefiting from the rice paddy, an ethnic Khmer community struggling with poverty.
“Roadmonkey is grateful for Sabra's thoughtful support of this sustainable, hands-on volunteer project in Vietnam in November,” said Paul von Zielbauer, Roadmonkey's founder. “Vietnam is special to me and to Roadmonkey; it's where we launched our first adventure philanthropy expedition in 2008. Sabra clearly shares our passion for adventure and discovery, and we appreciate Sabra's efforts to help an impoverished community in need.”
Since 2008, Roadmonkey has organized many philanthropy adventures to Africa, Asia, Central America and South America, and has spearheaded as many community development projects. Past and future projects have included building a clean-water system in the northern highlands of Nicaragua, constructing a library at an orphanage in Saigon, and starting an organic farm on Zanzibar. Roadmonkey is committed to making the world a better place, one trip at a time.
