It has been such an immersive experience into the local lifestyle and culture. I do really recommend it. My task was about painting an art mural in one of the school's walls. I had the freedom of painting the idea I had after agreeing some points. I really enjoyed it.

I had such a fun time donating my time and effort to creating a mural for the organization Cambodia. The organization is truly inspiring and I learned so much from volunteering here. The accommodation was very basic, as mentioned, but I will say that mural painting was a little challenging in the conditions. It was very hot, na/C, and the food is all traditional Cambodian, but if you can tough it out, there is plenty of wall space and opportunity to let your creativity flow.

Working with the organization was a fascinating experience. Peter does an excellent job of providing volunteers with meaningful work, contributing to the organisation's functioning. It is a privilege to be invited into the school's daily life, from meals to prayers in the evening. The school is well positioned to explore Phnom Penh at the weekends and the surrounding area is great fun to wonder around (especially the magnificent views of the Mekong at sunrise or sunset!)

I volunteered with the organization for one month, assisting with graphic design and enhancing their online presence. The work was fulfilling, and I learned a lot while contributing to their mission. Peter, the team coordinator, was incredibly kind, professional, and supportive, creating a welcoming environment for all volunteers. I highly recommend the organization to anyone seeking a meaningful short-term volunteering experience or a long-term internship. It's a great place to grow, contribute, and connect with inspiring people!

Thank you everyone at the organization in Phnom Penh, I had an amazing time painting and living with you all. This was my first time (ever) painting a mural, and I felt supported the whole time through the process. It was easy to get into a healthy routine because the school has morning/evening prayers and 3 meals a day. There is also a small cafe at the school with good snacks and drinks. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys painting and wants to be involved in a project that is making a difference. Thank you again the organization!

"Reading your review brings back great memories, Caleb! For a first-time muralist, you tackled the project with impressive confidence. The way you embraced our daily routines and brought Cambodian landscapes to life on our walls was remarkable. Your mural will continue telling stories to our students for years to come!"

Sadly, I did only 1 week in the center of kandal province because we didn't have many student (only 3 that we could teach with the manager) and I didn't feel like I was helping the team or the association, so I left. But the team and the accommodation are nice, and with more student, I think this could be a great volunteering experience.

Dear Karine,
Thanks for your review. And we understand your decision. In fact, we had to close our school in Kandal as the school wasn't doing very well over there. Glad you still felt welcomed and all.
Hope you found a good place to volunteer where you could contribute!

The school provides strong educational support, with volunteers from around the globe teaching various classes. The full-time students are welcoming and foster a friendly atmosphere. Classes are held from 7 am to 7 pm with breaks in between, offering flexibility for volunteers. On the downside, hygiene is quite minimal. It's best to bring your own soap, and there were issues with rats in our room. The meals are simple, so bringing snacks and a mosquito net is recommended. While the experience is rewarding, be ready for basic living conditions.

Thank you for your detailed and honest review, Aleksandra! Your feedback helps future volunteers prepare better for the experience. We appreciate how you persevered through the challenges and still gave your all to teaching and improving our center. Your contributions to both our children's and part-time classes made a real difference, and your wall-painting helped beautify our space. Thanks for embracing the spirit of cultural exchange despite the basic conditions.

The school does an excellent job supporting students' the organization, offering classes taught by volunteers worldwide. Full-time students are friendly, creating a welcoming environment. Classes run from 7 am to 7 pm with breaks, allowing volunteers to pace themselves. However, hygiene is basic. Bring your own soap. We also had rat issues in our room, despite efforts to repel them. The food is basic, so bring snacks, and you'll need a mosquito net. Overall, the experience is valuable, but be prepared for hygiene and accommodation challenges.

The Host & his Team were great and very accommodating for my dietary needs! The overall experience was delightful! It was great meeting fellow travelers and new people, and making new friends. I got a great feel of the local experience, which was one of my main goals. Cambodia is a wonderful place, and having a unique volunteer opportunity like this made the overall experience much more enjoyable! Thanks a lot!
