    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You can contribute to the quality of life of animals in the city. The location is a residential area in the south of Phnom Penh, a short distance away from Russian Market, which is a lively area for socializing. You will also be working alongside shelter staff, so you can definitely learn some basic (or even advanced!) Khmer from them.
