Volunteer Activities

There is a lot of help needed in Cambodia! Volunteer will be involved in teaching English. Education is very important especially with Cambodia developing there is a a lot of education needed. And with most people still poor many children do not have the opportunity to get an education, especially for orphaned children.

Our volunteers have done great work teaching at our different projects and have made a great impact to the children's lives. No teaching experience is needed. The level of English of the children is mostly basic. The main requirements needed are flexibility, enthusiasm and a willingness to help.

You can also teach special skills that you might have such as art or music, you can also assist in taking care of the children, playing with the children and helping out where needed.

Schedule

On the first day of your program you will receive an orientation from your Coordinator. After that you will have a tour of Siem Reap and there will be a welcome lunch. You will then be introduced to your projects to start your volunteering.

The WLS Coordinator in Siem Reap is Maureen Chen. Maureen is from Australia and has been living in Asia for several years. Together with her husband Tom she coordinates the WLS programs in Cambodia.

Make a Difference!

WLS International has sponsored different projects in Siem Reap. We have bought water filters for different projects. We enabled for a project to start a vegetable & mushroom farm where many of the staff and orphans are helping to grow their own food and create their own income.

We bought 40 desks for a project, these are used throughout the day by all students during their classes. We sponsor a local English teacher at one orphanage because the orphanage could not effort one.

We are very busy to make a real difference together with our volunteers in Cambodia. Cambodia is a great place that is in full development with lots of help needed.
