Volunteer In Cambodia

This tour includes:

Accommodation

Volunteer House On the Cambodia volunteer program, you will live on our Volunteer House. Our accommodation is based in the remote village of Bakod, around a 20 minute tuk-tuk ride from Takeo. In Takeo, you will find local restaurants, convenience stores and ATMs. Our main volunteer projects in Cambodia are based on the same site as the Volunteer House. Youโ€™ll be living and working with other international volunteers from around the world. The accommodation is very basic. Bedrooms usually conform to a single-sex dorm-style setup, with up to 16 people per room. Within each room are fans, and each bed will have its own mosquito nets. Bathrooms at the accommodation are communal. There is no hot water, however, this shouldnโ€™t be a problem as Cambodia is hot and humid all-year-round! The bathrooms are separate from the bedrooms. There is Wi-Fi within the accommodation but it can often be intermittent and unstable. Volunteers are recommended purchasing a local SIM card in-country to use with an unlocked mobile phone. There are several communal areas across the accommodation where participants in Cambodia can relax and socialise. There is also a small cafe just offsite of the accommodation. There is a local laundry service available, with a cost per person usually only a couple of dollars. Alternatively, hand-washing can be performed on-site at the accommodation. Each participant is provided with a trunk to place their items. These trunks can be locked, and participants should bring a small padlock for these. Alternatively, valuables can be stored with our local team in their private area. Volunteers are advised to note that cupboard space is not available within the dorm. Please note that the accommodation participants live in is within very close proximity to a lot of animals, including dogs, cats, cows and chickens. The Volunteer House is located on the same campus where our local coordinators live. Although participants have their own private space there is still the security of living next to our local team who can assist you if need be. It is also a great way to learn more about Cambodian culture and practise your new-found language skills! Most of our volunteer work in Cambodia is also based on the same grounds as the accommodation. If you are based in our second project location, our local team will transport you to and from the project each day. The cost of this service is included in your Program Fee. Transport to our volunteering opportunities in Cambodia may be via tuk-tuk or mini-van.

Transport

Your airport pick-up is included in the cost of the program. The main community school is located right next to the volunteer accommodation and therefore within walking distance. Any transport required for your project will be included in your Program Fee.

Meals

During your volunteer trip to Cambodia, you will be served with breakfast and dinner from Monday-Friday at the accommodation. For breakfast, youโ€™ll be provided with toast, eggs, jam, noodles, coffee, tea. In the evening you will be provided with a traditional Cambodian dish with the odd western meal. Filtered drinking water is available free of charge for you to help yourself as you please. You will need to purchase your own lunch during your time on the Cambodia volunteer project. Participants are advised to budget around 2 GBP each day for lunch. Participants will usually head into town/the local market a couple of times a week and stock up on lunch supplies such as noodles, pasta or snacks to bring back and store at the accommodation. Alternatively, a few meals can be prepared at the accommodation and purchased at a small fee. Some food is also available from the local cafe just off-site of the accommodation. Across the weekend, you are welcome to stay at the accommodation. However, you are asked to note that during this time, local staff may not be available on site. This means that no meals will be provided across these days. Meals will need to, therefore, be prepared/purchased at participantโ€™s own expense. However, in most cases, participants will travel across this time anyhow.
