Rural School Teaching in Samraong, Cambodia

The volunteering consisting in renovating a school during the week and go to visit cambodia during the week-end. It was wonderful to have the opportunity to easily get abroad. The local teams was wonderful, They are young and friendly, so we spend a lot of time with them. They spend time to share they way of life. The food was mainly local food, so it is nice to discovered it, even if it is not various so get borred after few weeks. The accommodation was perfect, nothing to say more.

The people were very welcoming. The local team arranged for everything, from pick-up over transport and accommodation to food, very well. It's so nice to see the eagerness of the children to learn. The children (and people in general) are so polite, respectful and joyful. Great to see them open up to you when they get their trust and confidence. As mentioned above, the local team coordinated, supported, communicated, facilitated in a superb way!

I loved working with the children every single day. The children never failed to be polite and enthusiastic about their learning. They were a dream to teach by always wanting to improve and to better their understanding. The teachers at the school were friendly and helpful. The town was a lovely place to live for 2 months. I felt that I really got to know the local people and to embed myself in the culture! The team were friendly and helpful. The food was healthy and delicious. We had 3 cooked Khmer meals a day. The accommodation was comfortable although hot showers would have been nice!
