Children Legacy Organisation

Since 2011, he runs the school all by himself, teaching over 70 local village children free of charge. To do this, he relies on the help of volunteers to help teach English, Chinese and Donations to assist with buying school supplies including pencils, paper, notebooks, food program and Clean Safe Drinking Water.

Sovannarith will accept you directly as soon as possible as he always need Volunteers.

Sovannarith does a Tuk Tuk service for volunteers as well to be easier to get to the village and support his school. His Tuk Tuk service is to pick everyone up from the airport, bus stops and hotels and also for the Angkor Wat Temple Tour,too. Most volunteers took his Tuk Tuk service to support him as he is a volunteer for the school as well. He needs all supports.

Hello. I am Sovannarith , the volunteer founder and director of the place, a children's charity located in the countryside near Siem Reap I have been running this NGO since 2011 but am in need of volunteers to help this project grow. I speak English and want to Educate our children with a key focus on language skills like English, Chinese and computer skills to give them a better chance in the future. I believe it is very important to help our children to be educated and successful in life.

I have Invested in building a water filtration system in my House, which provides FREE clean filtered drinking water to everybody in my village. I also run a Free Food programm once a month to provide food to the poor families in the village.

I hope with extra funding this organization will be able to grow and expand reaching out to more children and extra lessons. Anyone who would like to come and support me or teach other languages to the children are very welcome. We have two classrooms where our lessons take place.

Volunteers will be accepted directly by Sovannarith.
I will reply as soon as possible so please look out for my reply.
You are also welcome to contact me directly through watsapp on +85570986677.

TEACHING
We teach young children Volunteers will teach only 4 or 5 hours a day. 5 days a Week (

We teach students from 6 to 17 years old.

MINIMUM STAY 1 WEEK. We accept volunteers who wish to do a short stay or long stay though the long stay is preferred (NO MAXIMUM STAY LIMIT). We would be happy to give you a tour of our school at any time.

Note: Volunteers are not allowed to rent motorbikes or scooters to drive to the village or to school during their volunteer work with us because there has been too many accidents and it has been banned by law.

In addition to this, a certificate is provided as proof of involvement with the school and it can be used as a reference for any teaching jobs you may want to apply for in the future. The school is the ideal place as a starting point for anyone holding a TEFL certificate (not a must) as it offers the opportunity to practice teaching skills and classroom management, although we do welcome anyone to join - whether you have any prior experience/teaching certificate or not.

Accommodation is provided in Homestay as a Cambodian family along with three meals a day, we do ask for a contribution of $10 per day towards food costs, water, housing and internet access.

VOLUNTEERING
As a volunteer, travelers will learn about Cambodia culture and customs, as well as have the opportunity to help the children learn. Often, there are many students but not enough teachers. Volunteers can increase their overall teaching skills and have the perspective from being involved in teaching in an area where there is poverty.

Myself and the students are very eager to exchange our Khmer language for new languages from around the world.
Looking forward to sharing our language!

The overall experience was very positive.
The kids are a charm and Sova's wife cooks wonderfully 🤤.
I stayed in a private room and the house is great; you just have to walk 10 minutes and see how local people live.
The school is literally 10 steps from the accommodation, so it's very easy to get to school.
The only downside is that it's a bit away from the city, and in Lolei there's not much to do, but it's great to disconnect a bit.
Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to be part of this wonderful project

Teaching English was incredibly rewarding, despite requiring lots of energy and creativity. The children were engaged and eager to learn and seeing their progress and understanding grow made every moment worthwhile.
The host family were so welcoming. The food was amazing, and their children were always smiling and so friendly. The wider village community was just as welcoming, often excited to practice their English when you walked by.
If you are willing to step out of your comfort zone, this experience is deeply rewarding and eye-opening. I would happily return, and highly recommend it :)

I volunteered for a week in a rather rural village, in close contact with the local families. I helped the children at the elementary school improve their English: two hours in the morning and two in the afternoon. In my free time, other village children would often come to visit us at the open-air house, where we spent carefree moments playing cards or other games together.
