Northwestern Cambodia
Originally established by the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation, Weaves of Cambodia, known locally as Chum Ka Mo, is a silk-weaving centre that provides work and rehabilitation for landmine and polio victims, widows and orphans. Handloomed silk scarves (US$30 to US$40) and sarongs (US$70) cost half what you'll pay in Phnom Penh.
It is now part of the silk empire of Vientiane-based American textile designer Carol Cassidy.
