Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Travellers who volunteer in Cambodia can benefit from a cultural exchange experience by immersing themselves in the local culture and interacting with the people. They can learn about the history, traditions, values, and beliefs of Cambodians, as well as their challenges and aspirations. They can also teach their own culture and share their perspectives and skills with others. A cultural exchange can foster mutual understanding, respect, and friendship between diverse cultures.
