Teaching English in School Trip code: CAM2
There is presently a very high demand for English-speaking Cambodians because t o work in the industries in the town areas, English language proficiency is now a requirement. State and community schools receive very little government funding, so English teaching volunteers are very precious and always welcome.
Rustic Volunteer Travel's volunteer program in Cambodia collaborates with local schools to offer free English education (mostly conversational English) to local children. By working in an English-teaching program in Cambodia , you are providing vital English-education to poor children - ultimately improving their chances for a brighter future. This program is the perfect place for volunteers/travelers looking for opportunities to share their skills and compassion with these very-unfortunate children.

| Project/Volunteer's Life: |
Volunteers/travelers will primarily work as English-teachers/instructors either in public and/or private schools. Depending upon the need, volunteers may also be asked to assist in other extracurricular activities such as sports, games, etc. Some of the duties required of volunteers include: teaching English in public schools, orphanages or universities, assisting with other creative, extracurricular activities (i.e. games, drawing, singing, dancing, etc.), taking the students on educational tours/field trips (occasionally), helping the students with their homework, monitoring their academic progress and assisting in other school-related activities or programs designed for the students |

| Skills and Qualification |
The volunteer in English teaching project in Cambodia should be genuinely interested in and committed to the Cambodian country and culture. The best precondition is an enthusiastic self-starter with a willingness to work. The English teaching volunteers do not have to be natives of English-speaking countries. All volunteers are welcome who have a working knowledge of English and the desire to share their knowledge with the Cambodian people. Teaching skills and experience are highly appreciated. |

| Project Locations: |
English teaching 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.
