If you're considering volunteering at GVS, go for it 100%!! You will be so welcomed and included from the beginning. The teaching is a lot of fun, of course it's not without its challenges, but Kyle is so supportive. Living in the village you learn so much about Khmer culture and the kids are so keen to show you around. GVS was the best two months of my life, I can't wait to return.

My experience at GVS was beyond my expectations. I spent two months there and had the best time. The kids are exceptional, and it's inspiring to see how much they want to learn. GVS is more than an English the school. It is a beautiful community filled with dreams, friendship, support, and love. Also, the family, Kyle, and the locals will make you feel at home from day one. I am so grateful for my time there. I highly recommend coming to GVS, as you'll experience a complete immersion in Cambodian culture while teaching and making memories with amazing kids and teens.

I had an absolutely incredible time volunteering at GVS for 2 months experiencing every aspect of Cambodian village life, from the delicious home cooked meals to a pagoda blaring chanting at 6am. Chiva and his family and Kyle are so welcoming and alongside the kids they creat not just an amazing the school but a wonderful community that I felt instantly accepted into with no hesitation. The work here that Chiva has been doing for years is massively important in giving kids from the surrounding villages the education and the opportunities that city kids get so I really hope you choose to go.

My time at VS was beyond exceptional! The kids are super kind, welcoming and eager to learn. They're also very interested in learning about the volunteers and where we come from. Chiva and Kyle are also exceptional. Kyle pours his heart and soul into the the school and I could really see his impact. Chiva is super welcoming and the kids look up to him. If youre lucky they will take you on sweet adventures. We had an amazing stay with chiva and his family, his wife Somnang is very kind and his 2yr old daught is adorable! Thank you Kyle and Chiva! we will miss our second home deeply :)
