Siem Reap is one of the 25 provinces/capital cities of Cambodia. It is located in the Northern part of the country. Similarly, Siem Reap is hailed as the main tourist destination and attraction of Cambodia because of its historic and famous Angkor Wat, which is acclaimed as one of the Seven Wonders of the World and other attractive ancient temples. In addition, with its awe-inspiring temples, colorful cafes and placid waterways, Siem Reap is a jewel of Southeast Asia. Moreover, the city is considered as a cheerful city that embraces travelers like old friends.
Meanwhile, you will be located in the outskirts of Siem Reap, which will allow you to get a taste of a more rural side of Cambodia while at the same time being able to head to the city that acts as the gateway to the Angkor world with its Colonial architecture, museums, markets, nightlife and some of the most famous attractions Cambodia has to offer.

What Makes a Good Volunteer?
Volunteers need to be flexible and keep an open mind concerning their placements as situations can arise beyond our control which could require you to be placed at a different project than the one you have initially chosen. We will of course always do our utmost to fulfill your initial wishes but do remember that where you are going is quite different from where you are coming and as such one should be prepared for things not always going according to plan.
Volunteering and intercultural travel share a common trait: the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. This program is designed for proactive individuals and groups that are prepared to adapt to the local environment and its current needs. Naturally, the scheduling and activities of our program are subject to change. Alterations in activities are mainly due to changes in local conditions, which we believe is part of what makes overseas programs the interesting adventure and incredible learning experience that they are.

How Long Should I Volunteer?
Our projects range from 1 week up to approx. 30 weeks. Projects have a specified minimum stay, then it's up to you how long you can commit. In our experience the longer you stay the more you will gain, as your understanding of the project broadens and you take on more responsibilities. Every volunteer will be given a certificate of appreciation at the end of their stay as a symbol of volunteering stay.
