Celebrating Independence at Hanchey Bamboo Resort

On November 9, we celebrate Cambodia's Independence Day, a significant moment that marks our freedom from colonial rule. This day resonates deeply with the Cambodian spirit of resilience and unity.

The founding of Buddhism for Social Development Action (BSDA) by a group of compassionate monks in Kampong Cham City is a testament to the enduring power of community and altruistic action. BSDA's initiatives have focused on empowering the vulnerable, with particular attention to women, children, and youth, promoting livelihood security and independence. This ethos is echoed in the mission of Hanchey Bamboo Resort, a serene sanctuary for guests that doubles as a training center for disadvantaged Cambodian youth, helping them to build a foundation for a better future.

Celebrating Independence Day at Hanchey Bamboo Resort means honoring the journey of a nation that continues to grow stronger and more self-reliant each day. The resort's commitment to social enterprise and environmental sustainability is reflective of the progress Cambodia has made since gaining independence. It's a living example of how tradition can be upheld while embracing modernity.

As we commemorate this day, we not only celebrate our history but also our ongoing narrative of empowerment and growth. Inspired by the values of BSDA and the natural beauty surrounding Hanchey Bamboo Resort, we remember the past, enjoy the present, and eagerly anticipate the future we are creating together. It's a day of patriotism, reflection, and unity, as we honor the collective spirit and determination of Cambodia.
