Women’s Empowerment Volunteering In Cambodia

This was an excellent program in a beautiful place. Siem Reap Is a lovely friendly city with lots to do. The program is immaculately organised with plenty of variety and we were frequently consulted on what we would like to do next. We stayed in a lovely hotel that was friendly, welcoming , clean, comfortable, with delicious food. The hotel staff were young and still learning their trade but were friendly and very eager to please and learn. It was a pleasure to stay in a social enterprise where profits will be fed back into the community. The program was full and offered a variety of projects that ranged from primary age children through to adults and monks. It was very well organised with good resources and efficient transport provided to projects. I felt really well cared for by the GVI staff on base, nothing was too much trouble for them. The volunteers were a lovely mix of Nationalities and ages ranging from 18 through to mid 70s everyone was willing to share their experiences and we supported each other. I can thoroughly recommend this program.

Siem Reap, Cambodia was an exceptional experience. The program, accommodation, food, resources, and opportunities to try new things culminated into four very rewarding weeks. The best part however, were the people. The GVI staff, the hotel owners and staff, all the volunteers and especially the community members. Thank you GVI.

To say volunteering in Siem Reap is rewarding is an understatement. It is enriching, with the people of Cambodia having an even greater impact on me during my second time here with GVI than on my first! Additionally, not only did the GVI team, hotel staff, tuk tuk drivers look after us all so well, making us feel part of a family from the minute we stepped foot on Cambodian soil, but the accommodation is fantastic too. For anybody, with the heart & the time, it's a must do!
