FOUNDATION KNOWS WHAT MATTERSTHE
Temple Garden Foundation has the right idea for the Siem Reap half-marathon race to be held at Angkor on December 7 - the NGO understands that the real needs for this race are drinks and the right t-shirt.Temple Garden's rallying call is: "After a relaxing afternoon recovering from running a sub-90-minute race, please join us for drinks on Sunday evening at the funky bar. But it's not compulsory to do the run in order to attend the party.And we are designing some cool, retro TGF commemorative t-shirts which will be available for purchase.

"CERAMICS FESTIVAL LINE-UP TAKES SHAPE
