Description: Our projects around Phnom Penh & Chiang Mai offer volunteer opportunities to work with abandoned, ill and orphaned children. International volunteers may teach English, Maths, Science, computer, music, craft work or simply be a general helping hand in orphanages or home for the disabled.

Cambodian Orphanage: The Cambodian orphanage cares for more than 50 orphans below 15 years old. Prior to their admission to the orphanage, many orphans had to scavenge through trash and search of anything reusable or sellable, to exchange for food. Homes were usually simple sheds that did little to keep out the wind and rain. Most orphans had no means to afford 3 meals a day, let alone an education. The orphanage provides the orphans with the educational opportunities and a healthy environment to grow up in.

Thailand Orphanage Foundation: The foundation has 2 Homes for orphans. One houses healthy children while the other houses HIV positive children. International volunteers may work with the younger children by feeding or playing with them. Volunteers may also help the older children in their homework. Other possible volunteer activities include teaching the orphans English, Maths, Science and computer skills, bringing orphans on an excursion, introducing new sports, crafts or other other life skills.

Other volunteer opportunities include partnering the orphans for community outreach programme. These children regularly make trips to nearby tribal villages to offer their company and encouragement to the street children, and also to share whatever food that they have to spare. Volunteers will be touched by their generosity despite their predicament.

c) Singapore- based 2D3N Volunteer orientation & accommodation fee: USD390

This includes 2 days Volunteer orientation programme and 3 nights accommodation in Singapore. Take Me To Volunteer Travel believes in equipping volunteers for a meaningful and memorable volunteering experience. During the orientation, facilitators will share volunteering basics and the culture and needs of the local communities. Volunteers will also have first hand volunteering experience in Singapore! We also provide the environment for the volunteers to prepare for their voluntary work, such as discussion for suitable activities and assistance to buy the necessary materials.

The Singapore-based volunteer orientation programme is especially beneficial for volunteers from Europe, America or Australia. The short-stint in Singapore allows the volunteers to adjust to the time difference and acclimatise to Asian weather.

Of course, take the opportunity to sample our local delicacies, tour around and see how this tiny city state thrives in spite of its lack of natural resources.
