Highlights

You should take some time to visit the main attractions in the country, especially the majestic temples of Angkor Wat in Siem Reap province, and the beautiful coconut beaches of Sihanoukville. For any trip, a minimum of 3 or 4 days should be planned. It is sometimes possible to take the Friday off! Some of our volunteers add some holidays at the end of their volunteering. This is a very good idea, worth considering.

Qualifications

You must be at least 18 or 19 years old, independent and outgoing, and have a genuine desire to volunteer. There are no specific qualifications needed, but if you want to work in an orphanage, you must read the 'UN Convention on Child Rights' and sign the orphanage 'Code of Conduct' after arrival.

EXIS got started in 1982 with restlessness and an urge to ramble before globalization was a household word and the world could be Googled in five seconds. EXIS made sure nearly 30 years ago that Danish au pairs could drink tea on the High Street in London and now offers unique language study and voluntary work on five continents. EXIS philosophy is still the same to make it possible for you to satisfy your curiosity and thirst for adventure. We work with partners all over the world to build the most secure starting gate for unique experiences and you take it from there! Forget all about the world getting smaller. It's bigger than ever and right within your reach. Join the world... it's yours!
