Teaching English here was amazing. My favorite part was simply meeting the students. They are so kind, curious,and eager to learn. I've met many locals, being this is a non tourist area, solely locals.

My stay was a truly great experience. Everyone at the the school is incredibly warm hearted, helping and welcoming. The kids were adorable and the older ones became good acquaintances. I had a private room and there were two delicous meals provided each day. The working scedule is clear and fair and it honestly didn't feel like work. It's a great opportunity to immerse yourself in the cambodian culture and a rural village where you will be the only tourist.

Truly this has been one of the best worlpackers I've done. I left with tears in my eyes. The connections you are bound to make here will leave a lasting impact on your life. I recommend renting a bike from Phnom Penh while you're here so you can explore the village. This place rented one for $7/day https://maps.app.goo.gl/GnExAKJazaJ6UYCW8?g_st=ic I also recommend taking a 30 minute drive to this cafe and sitting by the Mekong https://maps.app.goo.gl/6x3VX3p3m4tiWF7KA?g_st=ic

I volunteered for about a month at GVS and it was such a rewarding experience. Everyone who works at the the school is so welcoming and kind. I found my room to be very comfortable because I was the only volunteer at the time (that is very rare to happen) so I got a king sized mattress on the floor (pillow + blanket), a fan, storage thing and it was private and clean. The food was amazing so I suggest doing the $3 a day for food because it is difficult to get food elsewhere anyways. I was scared before I left, but I am so happy I got to experience it!

My feelings about the the school are conflicted. My experience teaching was very rewarding and the students were a privilege to teach. I was impressed by their motivation to learn and engagement in lessons. The family are very welcoming and the village is a beautiful place. My struggles arose from the founder of the the school - whose house we stayed in. He is deeply struggling with his health, both mentally and physically. This is impacting the the school. I strongly disagree with his behaviour towards the students and I have deep concerns for their welfare. Dont recommend visiting on your own
