The WHY Matters
Hey friends, this is Jessica and Will from WorldTowning. You’re listening to the podcast that shares the highs, the lows, and the “what the heck just happened” of our decade-long full-time travel lifestyle and how it has changed us. On The WHY Matters, we dig deep into the WHY behind our choices and the positive results they leave. If you are ready to spread your wings, have a laugh, and take the insights of full-time travelers into your everyday life, then this podcast is for you.
The WHY Matters
#37 - Building a Library in Cambodia with Largo Sueiro - The WHY Matters Podcast
In this episode of The WHY Matters Podcast, we share the story of how a dusty, empty building in rural Cambodia became a bright and welcoming library. Jessica, Largo and Will, talk about the two-year journey - raising money, carrying six suitcases of books, painting in the heat, and working side by side with kids, volunteers, and the local community.
From replacing the roof to adding shelves, beanbags, and fairy lights, this project was about more than fixing up a space - it was about bringing joy, learning, and hope to hundreds of children. And it all started with one teenager’s vision.
