Siem Reap

Term: Throughout the year 
Durations of Program: 1-2 weeks, 2-4 weeks, 5-8 weeks and 9-12 weeks
Dates: Start any date

Description: The mission of the charity is to end the cycle of poverty caused by landmine's in Cambodia by providing housing, food and job opportunities to landmine victims for them to become self-sufficient.

Landmine numbers in Cambodia are estimated at between 5-10 million devices still to be removed and they maim and kill thousands of Cambodians yearly. The charity provides housing in transition from a life begging on the streets until they are able to move into homes of their own and support and training to start making a living by themselves. The charity also works to overcome discrimination against the disabled, striving to get its students to get jobs in the hotels and restaurants that service the thriving tourist destination in Siem Reap.

Highlights: Our Volunteer Program in Cambodia starts on any date of your choice throughout the year. Volunteers arrive at least one day before the start of their program. On the first day of your program you will receive an orientation from our Volunteer Project Coordinator where you will receive all the information about your projects. You will have a tour of Siem Reap and there will be a welcome lunch. After that you will be introduced to your project to start your volunteering. Your accommodation is in a guesthouse where you will have a single room. No need to share a room as you would have with other companies. Volunteer will be involved in teaching English, interacting and taking care of the children and helping out where needed.

Qualifications: Participants need to be motivated to volunteer.
