Young Buddhist monks take a break among the ancient walls of Angkor Wat.

Peacework Medical will have its inaugural clinic in southern Cambodia in January 2009. The gentle spirit of the Cambodian people will make us feel at home in this uniquely foreign place.

We welcome medical professionals to join us in this remarkable journey. We will see 300 or more patients daily who live communally in a pagoda. The pagoda is also home to a monastery and a Buddhist temple.  This will be our campsite!

The thousands of people who live in the surrounding 17 villages have extremely limited access to health care and health education, and they have sought our assistance with open arms. They will come to the pagoda where we are staying to receive health education and our primary care services.

Our tourist weekend will take us to the stunning Angkor Wat, one of the man made wonders of the world. Also, the history of this country will become clear when visiting the Royal Palace , followed by the museum detailing the somber legacy of the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot. 

The dates for this trip will be the last weekend of January through the first week of February, 2009.

Please write to Pam in July 2008  for more details and a registration form.
