Program Highlights

Volunteers spending one month on the project will also get to visit the stunning temples close to Siem Reap, including Angkor Wat and Ta Prohm (the temple famous from the film Tomb Raider).

While in Siem Reap youll also visit a flooded forest and stilt village on the Tonlé Sap Lake.

With your newly acquired Khmer language skills & a good understanding of the local culture you'll be well equipped to teach the local children or help in an orphanage in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap.

Many volunteers choose to take part in another project following their time on the Khmer Project.

Best experience in my life

December 14, 2023by: Adriana De Alberti - ItalyProgram: Khmer Cultural Immersion in Cambodia with Projects Abroad
10

I loved every moment of my volunteering project. Project Abroad staff is really professional and careful. During first two weeks, for my Grown Up Discovery tour, I visited a lot of places in Cambodia (Phnom Penh - Royal Palace and every place remembering killing fields of Khmer Rouge, Kampot with his pepper farm and Kep, Battambang where I've had an amazing ride on the real Bamboo Battambang train and finally Siem Riep with Angkor Wat, Bayon and floating village). Everything has been perfect and I enjoyed all places and experience. I stayed in contact with Cambodian people and they are really wonderful, kind and respectful in every situation. My experience in kindergarten was wonderful; children were so cute and teachers are very friendly. 1 teach basic English, played with children and helped teachers in some activities like well washing hands, eat and something else. In volunteering house (Bayon house) I felt like at my home. Our Cambodian mummy (Mira and Sami) were really kind and so cute. I cried a lot when l've to come back in Italy. I suggest this experience to everyone, young and just a little older like me (I'm 55 years old and this is my first volunteering experience). Thanks Project Abroad... l'lI come back again.
