hello and welcome again to rewind i'm kemal santa maria when we launched al-jazeera english more than 10 years ago our goal was to bring you the source of documentaries of a channel simply want to ring here on rewind we revisit some of the best of them and find out how the stories of moved on and today we're returning to a film which had a major impact on young lives and changed the way a global business was developing. tourism it is one of the biggest drivers of the global economy in 2018 it was worth nearly 9 trillion dollars making up more than 10 percent of the world's gross domestic product after emerging from more than 2 decades of war in the 1990 s. cambodia has relied heavily on tourism to rebuild its economy it's one of the top destinations for young travelers many of whom sign up with global volunteering companies but there's a dark side to this story war breeds all phones and back in 2012 investigative reporter giuliana rufus went on to cover to find that well intentioned tourists

were unwittingly fueling the exploitation of children at poorly regulated orphanages from the people in policy areas this is cambodia's off a business. numpad the capital of comeback. between the 1970 s. and 1990 s. cambodia was ravaged by civil war. since its return to peace there has been a boom in tourism with over 2000000 visiting every year. came to help this war torn country increasing numbers of tourists and now also working as one until. most come with the very best intentions to work in schools and orphanages and filling a gap left by a lack of development funding. but recently disturbing stories have emerged that come bowden children are being exploited by some of the companies organizing

volunteers all running all from agencies we've come to come to investigate allegations that try to few of these orphanages out run not for need but for profit . our journey begins on the outskirts of jumpin at an orphanage and school for the peoples improvement organization. set up 10 years ago it provides free education for 2. book on the city's main garbage dump. was that. if there's an example of best practice in this industry then perhaps this is it means now that . those tablets the book from denmark has come to teach for 2 months. so has it been so far i really like that it's so clean i can do whatever i want and they come in to my files like that everybody's really friendly and the kids are

really respectful and they really get they give a lot. in a deprived neighborhood p.o.'s making a difference to organize pullen tearing in foreign donations. it's found pam and newman explains how past conflicts have contributed to the estimated 10000 children in orphanages all this yeah they have children and they are so poor and they are abandoned them sometimes they just come to drop in from the door and they leave we don't know who or where they from the school why would a parent leave their child here on the doorstep while he will often at. yad do know they. cannot afford to take camp and also on some family they want to keep to go to school but they cannot afford. there are now almost 500 orphanages encumber a figure that has doubled in the past decade. some like p i o rely

on foreign volunteers for skills and labor but the vast majority use volunteer ng to generate income. we find one of them the lighthouse orphanage on the other side of town. thanking. yeah lighthouse is home to 108 boys and girls ranging from 3 to 18 years old and. they request that we donate some food for the children to eat you get good food sometimes too you struggle i can say much better than your hometown a beat up on the home government any n.p.o. yet so you need to a nation strong volunteer mr ritchie is responsible for bringing volunteers to light house and he's found a way of increasing revenues. if you will from the edges not just

hosting get volunteers but groups of school students on short term stays to just now a group of canadians are visiting in their downtime to students get to play with the children. and over the past week some special friendships have developed even the teachers are not immune and they say i don't know. dealing with a kid is going to have to just lay down here and below one of these little guys walks up and grabs your hand you have no choice but to 5 sort of fall in love with them so. and that it's pretty awesome. as canadian simple from stroke closer not just good will but a lot of money is flowing into the orphanages too we supplied. the labor heavily bought the tiles the sand the compost so we sent out about $5000.00 ahead of time and then i brought a few $100.00 with me so we bought some rice that we fish i call work and go to

a water pump to keep the garden going so. kind of give them a little happiness today with their shopping and all this is a huge amount of money in a country where the average wage is $65.00 a month what they will never know is whether all of it will be used for the benefit of the children. we knew from various reports that in a number. cases a huge influx of donor money has attracted unscrupulous businesspeople jope an orphanage is for the wrong reasons. to find out more and geo puts us in touch with conti and young chante who grew up in an orphanage. when the donors discovered that the director had been stealing the money donated for the children the orphanage was closed down. and john t. take us to see the old home to tell us about the realities of wilson's lives hidden

from the eyes of volunteers. and at the moment. but how. would you know our quarter. over thomas the. bacon i well. it was a. big why didn't you tell the volunteers out was going on but that i am with you. on that will get at me and you guys my mail handling at least so long enough that i came out. of the palm grove with her. now all men are away one. can say is he still suffers spouts of depression he works in 2 different restaurants for just $3.00

a day. john t 2 says he's still effective and he now has a regular job at the airport but not everyone from the orphanages fatso well. john t. introduces us to china who lives on the streets. he states he was not. putting them in our. town but i'm in my book but what one can hate but. barely speaks. to but put in japanese. it's. small kind of fallback you pull what i'm fat. duffy pathname me and my red hat hold up the hat i took out on the bike by the family and by the. but it's not just the combo genes in charge of orphanages who are accused of taking

advantage of the money flowing into that voluntourism has become a global industry with foreign companies tapping into the potential profits too. we need us trail demi jackson is who has volunteered in cambodia for the past 3 years and her experiences have made a jaded about the industry that really led to a lot of our history is there that the things that vary from behind the scenes that you would just see coming in fast time demi explains that volunteers like her book this stays in cambodia for international commercial volunteering companies based outside the country and. her 1st visit in 2009 was through projects abroad one of the largest in the world. volunteering comes at a cost and demi surprised how little money actually goes to the local orphanage is a program my doctor once told me they get. all the same way. here.

that you know partakes of what you pay up to $3000.00. that he gets tired the other way so what he's saying is about a $100.00 a week for me to mention if you have 10 people say that 1000 do you think that sets down. a lot of money. to help him at the moment is. a really high profile. shisha is an ngo that investigates allegations of exploitation of children in orphanages and it's one of the few places where volunteers can voice their concerns here and. i know from you know i'm giuliana. ehrenstein my working on a case about an orphanage called the children's umbrella center organization or cuckoo brought to them by former. volunteer. so these are the e-mail complaints that we did get from the volunteers really clearly stated what their concerns were

. the abuse the children missing the director was openly saying that he did want to adopt the children out for a price about $10000.00 which is which is extremely concerning for as well the deduction is illegal income. there are allegations of physical abuse or food standards so the kids are looking hungry i would hope in sewage the boys are sleeping in a smaller roof in the roof is leaking so this place is getting international volunteers going is ations do you know who these organizations are well suited for one word of volunteering really interested right and this is dating back to literally one pretty much one year ago. she showed took the allegations to the competent government to send in their exam and in november 2011 and january 2012. has been inspected try.
