Company : Love Volunteers
Location : Cambodia, Siem Reap
Duration: 2 weeks to 1 Year+
Approx Costs: 500 to 2000 $ Dollars (US)
This important program was created with the goal of helping to improve the English-speaking abilities of some of the poorest residents of Siem Reap.
Education is key to breaking this seemingly endless poverty cycle, yet sadly, having access to native English speaking teachers is more often than not a luxury only available to children of wealthy parents.
Government schools in Cambodia are notoriously corrupt, teachers are paid a meagre salary and children have little chance of gaining skills such as English. In conjunction with the local partner agency, and with the help of international volunteers, Love Volunteers aim to change that by giving free access to English speaking teachers and classroom assistants at NGO operated schools in Siem Reap.
On this project, volunteers have the opportunity to work across two locations, reaching over 1,000 children aged between 6 and 12 years old. Ultimately it is hoped that through this project these children achieve the first step toward a life free of poverty. By sharing their knowledge and skills in the English language volunteers will have a direct, positive and long-lasting impact on the lives of some of Cambodia’s poorest children
This project is available year-round and programs start every SUNDAY. Volunteers can choose to participate for periods ranging from 1 week to 12 weeks. Longer stays can be arranged directly with the local team, but will be subject to availability and individual visa conditions. Spaces on this project are limited and therefore subject to availability. Early booking is recommended.
Love Volunteers welcomes all those 18 years and over who wish to help create a brighter future for children through the power of education. This project best suits those with experience and/or qualifications in the field of childhood development and education, though volunteers who simply wish to explore an interest in this field are also welcomed as there are many ways you can assist in the classroom. Whist not mandatory, completing a TEFL course prior to joining this project would prove to be highly beneficial. Ideally, volunteers on this project will have at least a basic knowledge of the local language in order to communicate effectively with staff and students, though this is not a pre-requisite. Importantly, all applicants must first and foremost have a genuine willingness to help, show drive and initiative, and bring a positive 'can-do' attitude. If this sounds like you, we want you on the team!
Additionally, volunteers applying to join this program will be required to supply to following documentation: Emergency contact, Police check & Resume.
