Program Description

Cambodia Teaching Volunteers

Description

Teach children in Cambodia and give them a chance of a better future. You will have an extremely rewarding experience, with ample opportunity to explore Cambodia.

You will work at a centre set up by the local community with people from the Khan Meanchey and Khan 7 Makara area. The project is based at a refuse site and you will be teaching children whose parents work at the site. These children are not able to access mainstream education due to educational costs. As a volunteer you will providing essential assistance with lessons, while also helping with the general running of the project. The skills that you will teach will go a long way to enable these youths to become more independent and help others with their knowledge.

As a volunteer your activities will include teaching English, drawing and painting, and helping to arrange lesson plans. You will also be helping give the children valuable health education advice and ensuring that the classroom is clean and tidy. At the centre you can also assist with any other work at the project that may include maintenance and general administration.

Highlights

Cambodia lies on the Indochinese peninsula. With a population of 14 million, it is bordered in the north by Thailand and Laos, in the east and south by Vietnam and to the southwest by the Gulf of Thailand.

Heir to the past Khmer Empire, Cambodia presents the significant remains of this kingdom that reside in the legendary temples of Angkor. Still recovering from its turbulent past where it witnessed a loss of nearly two million civilians during the Khmer Rouge, Cambodia is a very deprived yet fascinating destination that offers memorising sights to explore as well as a diverse culture and an affable civilisation.
