Description:
Volunteering in Cambodia is an extremely rewarding and challenging experience for the volunteers.
Our volunteers work in schools and English language training centers in the capital city of Phnom Penh.
English language is very much in demand in the country as to work in the industries in the town areas, English language and basic computer skills proficiency is now a requirement. But in Cambodia the opportunity to learn and study is not available for everybody. So as a result many people are jobless. As a volunteer in Cambodia, you will teach English and/or computer skills to support the poor people, mostly in schools, thus improving the employment prospects of these future generations.
Depending on the volunteer's skills he/she can help with:
* Teaching English in the morning or in the afternoon for 3-6 hours a day or longer
* Teaching computer skills (very basic) 2 hours a day
* Preparing lesson plans (if possible)
* Helping with general work which comes up (reception, translations)
* Preparing tests
* Implementation of new ideas and teaching methods (if possible)
Highlights:
* Project Location
The project placements are located in and around the capital city of Phnom Penh. While some of the placements are located at a walking distance from the accommodation, others are located within 10-15 minute on a bicycle or a local tuk tuk. Bicycles can be purchased for as low as 20 dollars. However, most host families allow volunteers to use their spare bicycles at home.
