Description

Cambodia with Volunteering Solutions Volunteering in Cambodia is an extremely rewarding and challenging experience for the volunteers. Cambodia is one of Asia's poorest countries and the widespread disease of HIV/AIDS has left many children homeless and orphans.

Our volunteers work in Orphanages and centers for children from poor slums of the city. Volunteers work with children who are in the age group of 3-16 years. Volunteers are needed to give informal education lessons to the children, help in doing daily tasks at the orphanage such as washing clothes, feeding the children and making suggestions to the staff for improvement.

Volunteers are also encouraged to teach English to the children and engage the children in different playful activities. You are welcome to use any kind of special skills you possess.

Helping in an orphanage will not only give the Cambodian people opportunities that they may not normally have, but it will also give the volunteer a taste of Cambodian culture and Cambodian life. For all orphanages, it is a great honor to host a foreign volunteer. The volunteer is warmly welcome and will be included in all daily activities of the organization and the staff.

* Project Location
The project placements are located in and around the capital city of Phnom Penh. While some of the placements are located at a walking distance from the accommodation, others are located within 10-15 minute on a bicycle or a local tuk tuk. Bicycles can be purchased for as low as 20 dollars. However, most host families allow volunteers to use their spare bicycles at home.
