Angkor - Siem Reap
Country information
 
The town of Siem Reap is situated only a few kilometres from the famous temples of Angkor, which are Cambodia's greatest tourist attraction. The remains of the ancient City of Temples are spread over an area of almost 500 sq. km between the fertile low plains near Tonle Sap (the Great Lake) and the drier, densely forested highlands of the Phnom Koulen hills. The more than one hundred temples were built between the 9th and the 13th centuries. Hidden from the world for centuries, first by the jungle and then by civil war, Angkor was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1992.

SOS Children's Village Angkor/Siem Reap is located on the main road to the City of Temples. It consists of fourteen family houses and the necessary administrative buildings. There is also an SOS Kindergarten and an SOS School. An SOS Youth Facility will be built to accommodate older boys from the SOS Children's Village. The first step towards independence is usually the move from the SOS Children's Village to the SOS Youth Facility, where the boys are prepared for their future lives as independent members of society.
