AHHA Education Cambodia

This was a fantastic experience, the team was welcoming and accommodating and there was no pressure put on me! It's basic office work, but the hours are fair and give you plenty of time to explore Kampot. You also know that your work is going towards a fantastic cause. The living conditions are basic but cosy and the meals were reliable and delicious. I really reccomended this role, the NGO does incredibly important work and it's nice to contribute towards it whilst also being given the freedom to explore and have your own time! I'd reccomend this to anyone, but especially those looking to stay in Kampot for some time! Budget friendly, very fair work and free time balance as well as a really nice team to work with.

I was a volunteer in April & May, 2024, at the school in Ou Chum, Ratanakiri province. The administration & arrangements through Peter in Phnom Penh were very helpful. The head teacher/manager Panha worked incredibly hard in both teaching and running the school. All the teachers were very competent, open to new ideas and easy to get along with. I also learned from them, English grammar for sure, as well as some teaching practices. The students were endearing, from the 4 year old to the teenagers. For me, the greatest reward was in working with the students, both 1 - on 1 and in teaching classes and seeing their learning & development.

I have thoroughly enjoyed volunteering with AHHA Education as part of the office team. Being able to utilise business skills that I have acquired in my studies and apply it in a southeast Asian context has been a really unique experience and has definitely led to personal development. Not only have I developed personally and feel I have gained experience and had lots of fun, it has also been rewarding to be giving back to the people of Cambodia through my work and feel I am making a difference.
