Volunteering in Cambodia with WLS was one of the greatest experiences of my life to date. I strongly recommend WLS services, they looked after me from day one. Thanks a million!

My travels in Southeast Asia would have been incomplete without volunteering in Cambodia; it was a life changing experience. I felt like a real part of the effort to revitalize a country and its people. WLS provided outstanding support and guidance. I strongly recommend this amazing opportunity.

The orphanage in Siem Reap where I volunteered with WLS International is set among rice fields in an open and breezy picturesque surrounding. The serenity that surrounds it is calming and takes you far away from this chaotic world. I spent two lovely weeks teaching the children and everyday as I walked down the open road along rice paddies towards the classroom and the children ride their bikes along side me full of smiles and waving frantically in the air eager to get to class, I realize that what I am doing and what I am able to give them is truly amazing and such a priceless experience.
I taught English to students varying in ages from around 6 to 16. The children seem shy to begin with especially when you attempt to converse with them but they soon open up. Getting them to speak up also improves their social skills, which could benefit them later in life. A lot of learning games and songs were also taught and encouraged, as it is a fun way to allow everyone to participate and learn. To be able to give the children exposure to a different teaching method and a different teacher every now and then is something they truly value and appreciate.

I had such an amazing time volunteering for a week in Cambodia. It is an experience that I will never forget. Teaching English with the children was unbelievable, they are so happy and so eager to learn and very smart. It really was a joy to teach and spend time with them, and I was very sad to say good bye at the end of the week. They really have such an amazing spirit, it warms your heart. Doing a program like this you really gain such an insight into the true culture of Cambodia and its people. This was truly a life changing experience, which I cannot wait to do again. Thank you WLS.

Volunteering in Siem Reap was everything we could have expected and so much more. We taught English at an orphanage and the School for Orphans. Although we were there to teach the children, we found that the values we learnt from them are ones that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives. The volunteer program gave us an insight into the true Cambodian lifestyle and just the small knowledge that our time has managed to positively impact the lives of others is truly remarkable. We both could not feel more privileged to have had the opportunity to have worked with these children. Everyday their enthusiasm for living and learning was overwhelming. WLS could not have been more supportive and the help from our program coordinators was outstanding. We would strongly recommend others to take part in this life-enriching experience.

My trip volunteering and teaching English at orphanages and schools in Siem Reap, Cambodia with WLS International was unbelievable. I taught English and it was the most fun I have ever had. We would learn, sing, color, play games and smile a while lot. These children had nothing yet they are so happy, very eager to learn, and so appreciative that I was teaching them. They would each line up one by one after class, bow their heads, and say "Thank you for teaching me Teacher". It was a magical feeling and experience. I think in the end I learned more from them, then they did from me. Cambodia is such an incredible place to see and experience. Overall it was an incredible trip that has positively changed my life.
