The Projects

Looking ahead to 2027, we plan to continue strengthening these partnerships and exploring new opportunities to support the work already taking place on the ground. Our goal remains the same: to serve alongside local leaders and help create lasting change for the communities they serve.

By joining this team in 2027 you'll help locals to build a community project - no skills or strength necessary. There is always something to do - from laying bricks, passing materials, painting and clearing - as well as entertaining the local children! Cambodia is a great place for all ages and many volunteers have come as a family.

You will also visit and help at a number of community projects in the region. This may include hair-washing of children in the slums or meeting girls rescued from the sex trade.

Teachers and Healthcare workers
Teachers are welcome to join the team but please remember the main project is to build. However, there may well be an opportunity to teach the local children and to provide some teacher training, but this cannot be guaranteed. Some of the 50 children are currently educated in the nearby church building but this is not ideal as it is also used for other purposes.
 
We are not currently aware of opportunities for healthcare workers, other than perhaps providing simple health education advice to the children and their parents via an interpreter. 

Rest and Relaxation

Volunteers will have the opportunity for rest and relaxation exploring the famous Angkor Wat temple complex near Siem Reap and other attractions in Phnom Penh area.
