For more information about each project, please click on the link above "Visit the Website".

Highlights: Projects are available in Phnom Penh (known as the "Pearl of Asia" is home to Royal Palace, Wat Phnom, National Museum, and Toul Sleng Genocide Museum), Pursat (temples of Angkor Wat and the Tonle Sap) and Kampot (Bokor Mountain) close to the beautiful beaches and islands in the gulf of Thailand), with shops, banks & internet cafes nearby. Khmer people are the predominant ethnic group in Cambodia. Khmer or Cambodian is the language of the Khmer people and the official language of Cambodia. It is pleasure of the local people to show the volunteer around and to give the volunteer an idea of country life in Cambodia. Full of distinction from traditional culture and history of the Khmer people to modern urban infrastructure infused with traditional architectural influence, still, there exists many of the amenities you would expect from a city.

Volunteers can organize different possible excursions during and after the project to visit places of interest. There is a tourist infrastructure already in place the volunteer can use during weekends. For example: markets, internet cafes, temples, boat racing festivals, Kampot Zoo, waterfalls (rapids), kampot pepper farms, art, restaurants, beaches, hotels, and many more.

Qualifications: There are no specific qualifications, just have a good heart.
