Beschreibung
Hi, I’m Elaine! I’m 27 and from Ireland. I’m incredibly passionate about travel and immersing myself in new cultures. Over the next year, I’ll be backpacking across Asia, and I’d love to give back, meet great people, and find meaningful places where I can settle in and have some routine along the way.

I have extensive experience in hospitality, strong social skills, and excellent time management. Back home, I work as a business consultant in a multinational organisation, so I’m used to working with people, problem-solving, and handling challenging situations.

Some of my personal hobbies include mindfullness meditation and yoga. I am an outdoors person who loves adventurous activies and hiking.

I also have a TEFL qualification (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and experience leading business and English classes for teenagers, so I’d be more than happy to help with language learning. Past experience includes volunteering in both Laos and India as an english teacher.

I’m always eager to get involved, learn new skills, and help out wherever I’m needed. Looking forward to connecting with hosts and being part of new communities!

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Help us teach children ...)

I just spent one week at the school with incredible volunteers and Poeuy and his family. From the moment I arrived they made me feel at home, I had a big double bed with a fan overhead and a mosquito net and shared a room with one other volunteer: there are also private rooms. We had two home made meals made daily (11:00am and 7pm).

At the start… read more of the week we split the class schedule between all volunteers so I had the same classes all week (two to run/ prep for and one to sit in and support). There is a longer term volunteer there Josie who has made such an incredible impact by giving so much structure to the school and works so hard daily to make improvements to materials, resources and the class structures so she has essentially done a lot of the hard work and made it easy for new volunteers to slot in and pick up from the last. At the end of every day you will be asked to fill in a log book of what you did that day and where students struggled so future volunteers know what has happened in the past week.

I do agree with other reviews that if you have more time to give to this school, the more time the better to really get to know the students, understand how things work and what needs to be done. I was unfortunately short for time so could only give a week but ideally I would have done at least 2.

This school runs purely from the support of volunteers so if you have time to spare, they will welcome you with open arms, the more people the better. Just be patient if you don’t receive a response straight away.

The school is about a 20/30 minute drive from Siem Reap easily reached by Tuk Tuk, I ordered one off Pass App (app). It’s a lovely small village with a market, good coffees and smoothies nearby. Also a place to get laundry done very cheap and a great flat road to go for a run in the mornings before the heat hits. Phoeury and his family also so kindly have bicycles you can take and use to reach all these points but everything is also accessible by foot.

One thing to note is you will be charged $6 a day for 7 days regardless if you are staying the full week or not so ensure to have the full $42 on you if you are staying one week or double for 2 weeks etc. they give you so much for that they charge.

This is such an incredible family, doing amazing work in their community so if you can give any time at all to support they would be so grateful, you won’t regret it. It was an amazing experience I’ll never forget. Thank you all so much for having me ❤

Amazing work away experience in this school. I had limited time left so just spent one week here but it was a truly valuable, eye opening and enriching experience.

Anuja our 'host' was so accommodating and responsive when I reached out about volunteering at the last minute. we were provided accommodation with a kitchen, private bathroom and all… read more
