Jack, I think it is wonderful how much you care about girl's and women's destinies both in fictional/biographical narratives, as well as in the real world. I feel like it is rare for men to be able to relate to women so naturally. Your channel also normalises your brand of progressive masculinity in such a lovely way. This is one of the reasons I am always amazed at how welcome your videos make me feel and why your output has such an addictive effect.

this is very cool. I was wondering; how does the charity avoid falling into certain post-colonial pitfalls that often come with similar education charities like missionary groups that teach a Eurocentric education. I know from some of your book reviews that you are interested in and support decolonisation so I was interested in how the charity aligns with decolonisation. I know that you wouldn't have picked a charity that you didn't fully support I was just interested about it.

Don’t think he’s very informed about the consequences of missionary or ‘humanitarian’ work, or decolonisation for that matter. At the end of the day all he reads is fiction.

He said they teach to the national Cambodian curriculum. I wonder what percentage of teachers are Cambodian and how they overcome the local vs national language barrier as schools are first getting established

As I mentioned in the video, teachers are from the community + indigenous languages are maintained at the same time as introducing the national curriculum. The head office is also based in Cambodia -- there is no Eurocentrism!

Hey Jack! I'm Cambodian, but I was born and raised in England. It's so cool that you visited these remote communities, and then shared what you found out to the massive platform that you have. The work that you, the ambassadors, and UWS, are putting into getting education for girls is incredible. Thank you for visiting our beautiful country. I've actually just started my holiday in Cambodia (day 2 of 46), the last time I visited was 3 years ago, and I get to see all of my family again. It's great that you uploaded this when you did!

Wooh, also European-born Cambodian here :)

honestly watching this a canadian-cambodian who was born and raised in canada made me tear up. watching jack actually take the time to learn about cambodia and really take an interest to the culture and the lifestyle is wonderful. i’ve only ever been to cambodia a few times, most i can barely even remember except for my last trip in 2014 where we stayed with my grandparents in phnom penh so the daily routine was quite different compared to the cambodian countryside but just seeing it again makes me miss it so much. i’ve grown up thinking cambodia was just a piece of land that no one knows anymore, so seeing someone actually care about it and talk about the issues revolving around the education there is really refreshing. jack you are amazing. keep up the good work

9:30 THE LIBRARY IS JUST SO VIBRANT AND LOVELY.

Ohhh god, Jack you went to Cambodia, OMGGG, I am from Cambodia and as one of your fans I hope you like there 😀. I really appreciate your contribution and your whole team who made this possible for kids in the province to have a substanable education. By the way, the Cricket and the Ant was my favorite back then, everyone loves that storytelling. 🤩 You have to go to the beaches ⛱️, they are really highly recommended.

I am sharing it with everyone I know right away. I think it is safe to say that you will truly be blessed.

As an anthropologist, I'm loving seeing this organisation doing this work appropriately. We should be making sure that it is sustainable after we leave these communities.

As someone who lives in Cambodia, and has had first hand experience with charities like these, I was impressed that Jack went into detail about the logistics and economics of the trip and charity. It is quite common in communities like these for money to just be given quite recklessly, and for long term solutions not to be set up. If you're looking for aditional sustainable charities to donate to in Cambodia, you should check out the Hard Places Community (Child focoused) , and Daughters of Cambodia (Focoused on women).

everything that I've watched in this video is giving goosebumps. Bravo for everything and to everyone involved!

It was amazing seeing this especially since my mom used to work in one of these charity/ govt schools for girls and since the issue of women education and early marriage I have seen so closely

Just today I was talking about how access to education and healthcare systems (including nutrition in healthcare) really makes a difference and improving those worldwide can have such great ramifications. And I got this video recommended now... (I'm mad it was recommended today and not 8 days ago because I watch most of his videos tho). In my personal opinion, helping this kind of projects is most helpful and if you want to help but you can't afford it, you still can help sharing to people!

exceptional work with this charity, Jack. So well done!!

I travelled through Cambodia a few years ago! I did a 5 day jungle trek through the Ratanakiri which was led by some amazing locals Mann and Boonie. The country there is incredibly beautiful. Got so excited to see some community and education work in this area. Some amazing history and local people 💚 I also got to work with Friends International. They’re an amazing child based organisation which goes towards helping save children from the orphanage system, poverty, as well as giving them access to education and community sustainability. I would definitely check them out as well 💖💖

This seems like a magical experience. This charity will help so many young girls reach their potential, amazing 👏

OML MY WORLDS ARE COLLIDING I CANT BELIEVE IT AHHHHHHHHHHHHH this video made me so emotional ngl. a lot of my extended family lived in communities like this and every year when i visited, i didn't see a single school within sight. i remember a bunch of my second/third cousins had to move in with my grandparents to get access to better schools in the city. unfortunately, the sustainability of the education didn't last because the majority dropped out and worked in factories instead. it was also heartwarming a couple months ago when my mom talked to her cousin and him trying really hard to get his kids educated instead of dropping out like he did. i've never heard of UWS before and their mission is very similar to what i want to achieve and bring to my communities when i graduate from college in america. definitely will continue to support :))

Hello, as an French-Cambodian girl, I'm very pleased to see this vlog about Cambodia. It's been a decade since I've last been there. I'm writing this comment while you're talking about the story about the cricket and the ant. It's actually a "fable", "moral short story" by Jean de La Fontaine, a famous French author. It might be well known there because Cambodia was once a protected state by the French :)

I’m so happy to see Jack struggling in humidity. I’ve lived in humid climes for quite a while and it’s still an issue. ‘The Shining’ in Jack Edwards’s case is sweating profusely while on camera.

jack visiting cambodia twice, making a vlog abt it, and empowering education in other cultures is the seratonin i didnt know i needed as a khmer person myself 👹🐾🇰🇭

This might be the best video you've ever uploaded! Love how socially oriented you are and how you use your platform to encourage other to do the same.

I've never seen Jack so happy and in his element before. Beautiful video

Really fascinating, insightful and thought provoking!

I volunteered in rural Cambodia for 8 months in 2018 once I left school and this brought back so many emotions and amazing memories! Even down to the sounds of the cockerel, the geckos and the beautiful smiles of the Khmer students! I am so thankful that you are using your platform to bring light on the importance of education, especially for girls, as many students of ours were unfortunately pulled from school by their families to work once they hit around 10 years of age. Its incredible that United World Schools are approaching this problem with cultural respect and creating positive change and opportunities for rural communities

this is so so inspiring and heart-warming to watch!

Love that you are using your platform in such a positive way. So inspiring!

thank you so much for sharing Jack. this is very inspiring and makes me proud to be studying teaching.

I didn't know how much I wanted to experience something like this. Thank you for sharing!!!

Amazing! This sounds like such a great charity to get involved with

Vee Kavithu with the head to toe Cream ensemble was absolutely fabulous!

This is so inspiring. Well done jack!

Thank you so much for sharing this it's so beautiful I almost cried.

What a wholesome video! Beautiful project, I hope they can fund that school because education should be available for everyone, everywhere no matter what. It's so good to see this type of projects and how much kids get benefited from it while at the same time supporting the community and maintaining their indigenous languages. I love your energy and how humble you seem.

Jacky, you’re such a special person and you have such a heart of gold. You ooze love, care and respect for everything you speak about. Continue being amazing and don’t ever change, because you’re absolutely phenomenal. Love ya loads, kiddo.

We’ve been waiting for this Vlog for quite a while. I think it’s worth the wait.

Thank you Jack, this got me thinking about so many things and it's nice to get to know new countries and their view on education

Hat's off to make this beautiful documentary ❤️

The community is beautiful, hope the school is built soon!

you are absolutely amazing person Jack!

Wow such a incredible experience! So amazing! Fun 💓

Such a great vlog! Thanks for taking us along for the ride and getting into all the nuances of how these things are built and sustained

Amazing work Jack!!

This is so interesting to me. I'm doing an education studies degree right now, and one of my favourite modules was international education. I loved learning about this, thanks for the video Jack x

My trip to rural cambodia starts on Wednesday, so excited, camps international is great for stuff like helping out and having that experience

Jack is literally a laughing goofball while travelling and I find it endearing ♥️

This is so cool to see your belief to educate countries that are unreached. I lived in Cambodia for a year and it's really heart-breaking to see people living in tin and cardboard houses with so many Cambodian children that have never been to school before. I went to school there and right next to a school was another school for Cambodian children to learn English. I guess to come across to your channel I thought it was just books but I've realised otherwise, and instead something aside from just books you have a real heart for unreached countries.

So proud of you Jack you are so amazing inspiring my hero and most sweetest person 💖

Myanmar is my place of origin! And I've seen how education hasn't reached many communities. Thanks for sharing and helping! Great cause! ☺️ ကျေးဇူးတင်ပါတယ်။

I really like your videos and I am a huge fan. I appreciate that you want to point out the problem of the "saving" discourse, but I think stating that these charities empower/or that you want to empower these communities is feeding the very same discourse. What makes you think that these communities need empowerment? Why do we, in the Western world, think that certain parts of the world need "our" education, "our" values, "our" political/organizational systems? It feeds the rethoric of the western exceptionalism and western universalism; and, of course, all the values, systems and organisations that are attached to it. I recommend Said's "Orientalism" if I do not make sense, I think he makes it way more clear how we in the West tend to see "other communities". In my opinion we should not feel like we can empower anyone. What do we know about their lives? And why do we think we are so exceptional "to give" them the feeling of empowerment? There is a serious critique out there about the charities, humanitarian organisations. I think, for a very good reason.

Watching this made me cry happy tears 🥹 my mum used to volunteer at a Chinese charity that did similar work building schools and dormitories in rural Chinese areas, donating books and clothes for the children and training local teachers to create sustainable education systems. I would love to visit and work in some of these schools of their project once I can go back to China (haven't been back in 3 years thanks to covid🥲)I really think this is so wonderful, thank you so much for being such an inspiration!!
