Cambodia Volunteer Foundation

I first volunteered with CVF Cambodia in Battambang, and the experience stayed with me so much that I decided to come back again the following year, this time to Siem Reap. For me, that already says a lot about the organization. What makes CVF Cambodia special is the genuine community feeling. It never felt like a typical volunteer program, but much more personal and authentic. The local team is incredibly welcoming, and you quickly become part of everyday life in the community. I mainly supported teaching activities at the school, and the students were honestly amazing. So motivated, curious, and happy to learn. Even simple moments in the classroom became memories I’ll probably keep for a very long time. The volunteer house was simple, but comfortable and always very clean. The air conditioning worked really well, which honestly made a huge difference in the Cambodian heat 😄 Living together with other volunteers and sharing meals made the whole experience feel even more personal and authentic. Before coming to Cambodia for the first time, I didn’t really know what to expect, but the country completely surprised me. The people are some of the warmest and kindest I’ve ever met, and during both of my stays I always felt safe and welcomed. Cambodia already has a special place in my heart, and CVF Cambodia became a big part of that experience. I’m very grateful for both of my stays and would definitely love to come back again one day.
