We had a wonderful experience with these children and all the teachers❤.
We reccomend this experience if you want to be in contact with real local life and share special moments.
Thank you so much!
I learnt a lot during the 2 weeks I stayed in the School, about children, teaching, Cambodian culture, and about myself!
Also, Kampot and around is a nice area to discover.
If you're hesitating, go and volunteer!
