In 2023, Dararith Tiv has cycled across six Asian countries, raising more than $50,000 for Angkor Hospital for Children. Now, he is still traveling across Cambodia to promote the Kingdom’s rural sites using his newly-found passion for photography and short film documentary.
Since 2017, Dararith has traveled extensively across Cambodia, gaining a deep understanding of the realities faced by its people, particularly children. As a developing country, Cambodia struggles with a lack of schools, hospitals, and access to medicine.
Deeply moved by these challenges, Dararith is determined to make a difference. "I constantly think about how I can travel and contribute to these communities, especially in remote areas where basic amenities like schools and teachers are lacking," he shared.
After the success of Southeast Asia Cycling Charity, Dararith still has an ambitious cycling journey from his country to European countries, representing the aspirations of young Cambodians. This new journey will combine charity and tourism promotion, surpassing fundraising goals amidst challenges to raise money for both hospitals, Angkor Hospital and Kuntha Bopha Hospital for Children, under the title ‘Travel the World by Bicycle: Dararith Tiv’.
