Adventure Tours in Rural Areas, Cambodia

IVHQ’s local organization cooperates with a network organization including 30+ local NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and other Cambodian towns, focusing on community & rural development, democracy development & gender issues. The organizations support the poorest of the poor & those who have become landless, offering capacity building opportunities & organizing advocacy for the reconstruction of the country. Local NGOs usually have very limited (if any) financial resources, & often struggle to run their programs & to raise funds from international donors. Many staff members are volunteers receiving no (or a very small) salary. All NGOs urgently need support in areas such as fundraising & proposal writing, organizational development, administration & research. For volunteers studying at a university it would be more of an internship experience as some professional development workers support some of our placements. Placements are offered in the following fields: Community development, Health/ HIV/Aids awareness, prevention & rehabilitation, Women & Child issues, Advocacy & Human Rights Issues, Environmental Issues, and Education.

Join GoEco and experience Cambodian culture by volunteering for children in the local community of Samraong. Become involved in various activities and get to spend an eco-trip after your placement. Your main role is to help boost the educational experience of underprivileged children, both inside and outside the classroom. Teach them english and assist in construction projects. A day’s work typically ends at around 5:00 pm, during which you can have dinner and then relax or hang out with fellow volunteers. This program is open to volunteers who have: - Minimum age of 18 - Good level of English - Motivation to work with children and meet new cultures - Full travel and medical insurance - Immunizations (please consult your doctor)
