Teaching English in Rural Cambodia
Volunteer abroad with Kaya and help make quality education accessible to children from rural areas. You will work at a voluntary school started in 2008 by a local community leader to encourage kids to learn English. This project had a largely positive impact, with more than 400 children attending either the morning or afternoon session. What’s amazing is that these children participate willingly and truly enjoy learning from international volunteers. Each class usually has 10-30 students and classrooms are equipped with basic resources, including a whiteboard and flashcards. You will teach in a traditional classroom setting, remaining within the school’s established curriculum and schedule. However, you are encouraged to be creative when planning lessons. Expect to work alongside local teachers and other volunteers, taking turns in giving instruction during the session. A love for children and patience are essential for this project. Besides passing your English knowledge test, you need to be able to share basic sanitation and hygienic practices as well as your own experiences and cultural background.

Amazing experience
October 25, 2022by: Magnus Olson - CanadaThe Treak Community Centre is an amazing place for any traveller young or old. The administration is ready to help with any situation or need that comes your way, and the staff at the centre are some of the most welcoming group I have ever met. This program offers cultural immersion and an enjoyable volunteering experience that I would recommend anyone to try.
