The communities benefit from every visit done by a group of volunteers or students. One of the benefits that Fair Trek makes sure the communities get is the payment of the village fund. It is a communal bank account that the community gets to decide how to spend. Sometimes it could be helping a family in need, fixing something that most families use like a water pipe or paying a certain tax or service. This time, with the help of the funds in the village fund and some other donations, the students from San Oudom village were able to get their sports uniforms to compete against other villagers in a tournament.
