Itinerary

Based on current circumstances and the global spread of COVID-19, Room to Read has had to make the difficult decision to cancel the 20th Anniversary Chapter Journey to Cambodia this June. As valued volunteers and supporters of our work, we want to prioritize the health and safety of all of you, as well as that of our staff, students, and teachers in country. While this is Room to Read’s 20th anniversary, the circumstances we are now faced with are extremely unusual and we are going to reassess plans to bring the chapter network together in creative ways this year.
