Cambodia Orphanage Volunteers

  Cambodia

Phnom Penh

Duration of Program: 9-12 weeks
Dates: The project commences on the first Saturday of each month. Please note that the Khmer New Year runs from the 14th to the 19th of April and therefore you will not be able to volunteer during this week.

Description: Working at the shelter set up by local people, you will be able to help educate these children through performing arts, language lessons, as well as teaching maths, art and sports. The project is in a rural location and the orphanage is very self sufficient so you can also help with maintaining the vegetable garden and animals on the farm. This rewarding experience will give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the nations culture, and see first hand how Cambodia is moving forward.
