Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative: 

Mr. Kunn and his Jasmine staff encourage guests to see more of Siem Reap than just the temples. A selection of information is available and guided tours to several charitable organizations can be arranged for guests that want to experience more.

Donation baskets are also available for guests who end up with a heavy backpack. Clothes, books, pens and pencils are distributed to schools and villages in and around Siem Reap and guests are welcome to come along on these trips.

Jasmine Lodge's latest initiative is a school and activity centre situated in Mr. Kunn's grandfather's house in his home village, Sampov Lourn. The village is located in Kralanh District, approximately 54 kilometers outside of Siem Reap and has seen relatively few of the impacts of tourism.
