Volunteer Travel Cambodia

Orphanage Work
Trip code: CAM1

Cambodia is a resource-poor country with thousands of families still living in poverty. UNICEF estimates that as a result, there are about 100,000 orphans in Cambodia . Volunteers' assistance is greatly and urgently needed in many areas of this project.

Rustic Volunteer Travel cooperates with orphanages in Phnom Penh and two Cambodian provinces to provide the orphans with a homely and secure environment, with access to education, vocational training and health care. This program is the perfect place for volunteers/travelers looking for opportunities to share their love, passion, and skills with these very-unfortunate children who have rarely experienced love in their life.

 
Project/Volunteer's Life:

As a volunteer in Cambodia working for orphanage, volunteers will teach English to children. You help them to speak, write, draw pictures, sing songs, play sports and fun games, shape clays, dance, etc. Volunteers are able to set up their own creative activities which best suits the needs and interests of the young children.

Skills and Qualification

There are no specific qualifications needed to join the orphanage children program in Cambodia . However, volunteers are expected to be flexible and patient as well as possess a passion and love for children.

Meals/Accommodations:
Rustic Volunteer Travel manages room/food (consisting of local fare) for volunteers. Volunteers live with the host family and we manage a separate, simple, clean and modest room as well as local meals three times a day. Volunteer will also have 24/7 access to our office in Cambodia and mobile number of our coordinators. Our staffs also visit volunteers in each 1-2 week interval as a part of the program.

Project Locations:

Orphanage 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.
