The Experience

Volunteers are needed to help us teach English to kids in Cambodia’s countryside, by creating interactive lessons that help them improve their language abilities. A local teacher will assist you in the class, and you will have books and materials to teach, but you are free to create your courses. There are 3 class blocks a day (morning, afternoon, and evening), and you can choose the schedule you prefer. We have students from 7yo to 18 yo.

This was my first experience with Worldpackers and with volunteering. I have absolutely no regrets about choosing PCEF, they welcomed me warmly, and everyone was very kind. I had a wonderful experience.
I learned more about another culture and country, but also about myself. If you are hesitating, I highly recommend supporting the school and becoming a volunteer there.

I had a great time volunteering, the school and his wife could not have been more accommodating. The children at the school were a delight to teach and would highly recommend this opportunity to anyone :)

I absolutely adored the 2 weeks I spent at PCEF. The time went so quickly, I wish I could have extended my stay with the school and his family. I enjoyed teaching English to the beginner classes, it was so rewarding watching the kids learn, so enthusiastically. I am also so grateful for my teacher Sokhoeurn who has taught me so much about myself too. The food prepared by Siavon was delicious and always so much of it! It was great connecting with like minded volunteers too. I would recommend this to everyone, an eye opening time and I wish all the best to the PCEF family :)

What an eye opening, rewarding experience that we will remember forever! the school and his family are so welcoming, you are welcomed like another member of the family. you have lots of free time to relax with other volunteers and it was super easy to make friends, eating and spending lots of time together. the children are a joy to work with and they are all super grateful for any help you can give. do be prepared for rural living! bring some snacks and essentials as there is not much to do outside of the school. we would recommend this experience focused on teaching and cultural exchange

Where do I start? PCEF is an amazing organisation that offers children a free the school in learning English. the school and his family hosted us for two weeks and it was nothing short of incredible. The family are so lovely and accommodating, they even took us to the floating village one weekend, and also arranged us tuk tuks to take us in and out of Siem Reap so we could explore the city. I have really enjoyed the opportunity to work with children from the local villages, teaching them English and playing lots of games together. Thank you again the school, hopefully I'll see you in the future! :)
