Is PEPY Really Good?

The PEPY Team Journal

Note to readers: Following is a series of unedited responses to concerns about PEPY expressed by a friend of a future trip participant (in reference to our Golden Week Tour). This person raised relevant and important questions about the work we are doing here in Cambodia. We would like to thank this person for having the courage to ask the hard questions when they had doubts, and to express their disagreements.

We post our responses in this exchange in order to make our positions clearer to our supporters and those who happen upon our website. There are probably many people who have similar doubts that are left unexpressed, and we hope you will give us an opportunity to voice our responses.

As we did not feel it was appropriate to post this person's strongly worded critiques without their permission, we have paraphrased their points and concerns. Below, we divide the critiques by subject, with unedited responses by our directors. Happy reading, and feel free to contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
