Jack really gives warm TV Host Energy. Petition to see the Jack Edwards Travel Show.
I was thinking exactly this then I spotted this comment. He's also hosted before so his experience shows! GIVE HIM A SHOW
He is just so wholesome
“They did it no spicy for you guys.” has to be the sickest burn in an Asian person’s arsenal lmao
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.
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
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.
Was thinking about this as well!
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!
@@jack_in_the_books that's brilliant to hear!
9:30 THE LIBRARY IS JUST SO VIBRANT AND LOVELY.
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).
besides everything else about the video, the "I just love cows" at 4:40 made my day
Loooookkk... It was the cutest thing!
@@naomionyeanakwe2903 it was!!
Cambodian fan here 🖐🏻 Welcome to Cambodia Jack! This is so inspiring.
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.
everything that I've watched in this video is giving goosebumps. Bravo for everything and to everyone involved!
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 love how Jack thinks the Cockerel/Rooster is the enemy but you arrived on their turf in the morning 😂
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 :))
I am sharing it with everyone I know right away. I think it is safe to say that you will truly be blessed.
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!
Jack, you are a delight 🥰 What a lovely, warm community & such wonderful, important work being done - bravo! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
you are such a good human being and i'm so glad i've supported your youtube journey for all these years
This seems like a magical experience. This charity will help so many young girls reach their potential, amazing 👏
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 💖💖
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
This is so wonderful to see - thank you for being an amazing ambassador for our work, Jack 🧡
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.
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 👹🐾🇰🇭
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
Love that you are using your platform in such a positive way. So inspiring!
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 :)
Spanish kids also learn about the ant and the cricket story, that was so cool to discover!
Yep even here in Belgium I read the story as a child
it's one of aesop's fables so it is worldwide known
@@juliabonetfreixinet85 oh okay! Jack didn't seem to know of it before, that's why I found it interesting :)
In the Philippines, instead of a cricket, the lazy insect is a grasshopper!
@@marclouiepg670 Same in India
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.
I've never seen Jack so happy and in his element before. Beautiful video
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!!!
Really fascinating, insightful and thought provoking!
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.
Vee Kavithu with the head to toe Cream ensemble was absolutely fabulous!
this is so so inspiring and heart-warming to watch!
We’ve been waiting for this Vlog for quite a while. I think it’s worth the wait.
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.
Amazing! This sounds like such a great charity to get involved with
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
Thank you so much for sharing this it's so beautiful I almost cried.
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
Wow such a incredible experience! So amazing! Fun 💓
This is so inspiring. Well done jack!
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
Hat's off to make this beautiful documentary ❤️
Quote of the Day: “Did I hit my head on the floor? Yes.”
Jack is literally a laughing goofball while travelling and I find it endearing ♥️
The community is beautiful, hope the school is built soon!
So proud of you Jack you are so amazing inspiring my hero and most sweetest person 💖
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.
you are absolutely amazing person Jack!
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!!
Amazing work Jack!!
As a girl from south asia, i can tell you over here every girl wants to be a teacher when they r young :p
I dont know why that is a thing but EVERYONE does.
Then once you're older 11 or 12 yrs old, it changes.
i don't know what you are talking about coz my introverted ass has never wanted to be a teacher 😂
This was so amazing, Jack! I really enjoyed seeing the work the charity is doing in these communities and the perspectives of the people living there. I wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet them and hear their voices ourselves so thank you for sharing with us their words.
I’m from CAMBODIA 🇰🇭 thank you for doing this . I love how much u care abt our girls and women in our country. I can’t even describe it in words . Thank you jack🥰 more travel show pleaseee
Oh my goodness… ive actually been to a mission trip to cambodia and i taught the schools as well and it brings back so many memories just to c jack doing similar things!
hey jack, there's a small typo in the title ('communities' has been written with both the i's after the t) 🥰
he corrected it now :D
10:30 In Bengali, the mosquito net over the bed is called a ‘Mawsharee’. I love the Mosquito Net Hammock btw.
In Filipino, we call it “kulambo”. Aside from an effective mosquito blocker, some people really love putting the folded net atop their foot when they sleep. Apparently, they feel comfortable.
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.
OMG was waiting for this
This is not the point at all, but the guy at 11:29 looks like an older version of Henry Golding.
Aside from that, this was great and really educational. It's amazing that you're able to spread the word about things like this!
As much as I look forward to the work Jack has done, I just want to know how he managed the rucksack and deo stick.
Awesome, Jack!
Of course Jack hits the books when he went to the books. Some chose looks, we chose books and looks.
you really should have a podcast damn you speak to beautifully
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။
Bahahha i thought Jack was saying Pot (chnang) when he was saying yummy (chganh) - Cambodian
Oh my gosh, me too! I was so confused at first. "Why is he talking about the pot? Am I missing something?"
this is such a cool vlog ❤ I hope to make enough money some day to make a difference, to donate and support (maybe even create my own) non-profits💕
Well done Jack you are unbelievable incredible unique and and great role model amazing person ❤️
Thanks you 🙏❤
me sticking this on in my classroom every time the british kids i teach complain about having to go to school
I have got to find a way to put a hammock in my bedroom! 😊
9:11 Ant and the Grasshopper but in a different cultural context.
loooovely
You are welcome at UWS Nepal bro.
Well done.
🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I"m just cat. I don"t even read books. I got lost.
Stay here. We'll give you cat food with book formula.
Love Cambodia and this video! But I’m still wondering why you deleted your IG posts from Cambodia. They were great photos!
Omg just found out that Jack was on BBC bitesize! And it was first published in April 2020... I why did no one tell me this!?
Awesome & insightful video!!
One thing tropical country’s gonna deliver is FRUIT
Fun fact: Khmer is the language which has the longest alphabets in the world :D
It doesn't have an alphabet :D
Don't forget to add gift aid to your donations if you do decide to donate!
I love you jack
Hello Jack, who are the other people you are travelling with?
First!!
AYYYY THATS WHERE I LIVE
if anyone's curious in how someone (from the states) lives in cambodia, just check some of the videos on my channel! (mind you they were filmed ages ago so it's very cringe lol)
11:03 Visual ASMR
11:19
helloooo
Hiii
You're very British, but going to Africa to teach kids from villages is the most British thing you've ever done.
(It's just a joke! I really appreciate the effort you went through to build something that's sustainable for the community you were and that will generate impact and change even when you're live, that's how I really believe volunteering can make a difference. You're an incredible person for that!)
Oh no, not one of these....
You are well educated and extremely well read. Could you explain to me where the word "children" went. I am 71 yrs old and was always told that "kids" were young goats.
I think the first few words of your last sentence explains it :)
@@phirion6341 Sorry I don't understand. I am asking why no-one uses the word "children" now.
@@dpnice7721 "I am 71 years old"
"well educated and extremely well read" does not mean being excluded from language style changes and progress in lexical use :)
@@phirion6341 OK so we are the same age that still doesn't answer my question. Why are children now call kids (a harsh sounding and to me an insulting form of language)?
Can any experts explain when and why the change happened.
