Cambodia is a small country with a tumultuous and violent history, yet one that offers a charming culture, sprawling temples and warm people. One of Asia’s poorest countries, Cambodia is very much in need of teachers willing to step into the heart of South East Asia and dedicate their time to improving education in a place where many children are put to work rather than sent to school.
Extreme poverty has always been one of the factors preventing Cambodians from finding prospects for a better life. Quality teachers are needed not only to teach English, but also to improve the education of those in a country still on its knees from a decade of genocide at the hands of the Khmer Rouge. Not only does this country lack trained and dedicated teachers, many Cambodians cannot afford to send their children to school and often put their children to work to bring in extra income. The cities are filled with orphanages whose children are in need of both attention and education. Teaching in Cambodia is a challenging but no doubt rewarding adventure for those willing to step into a mysterious and beautiful land bordering the Gulf of Thailand. Check out the programs listed below to seek an incredible opportunity.
