    Description

    Our School is located in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The vision of our school is to help the students grow both in gaining a high level of English and in life skills. Moreover, we educate them about virtues, social awareness, environment, and leadership and also strive to develop the inner moral quality which is within us.

    However, the school is looking for more volunteers to join us and to have an impact on Cambodian students. The volunteers can share experiences, culture, teaching English, workshops and so on. The students here are very friendly and adorable, and they also like to communicate with foreigners as well. Each volunteer will be required to teach a maximum of 6 hours per day from Monday to Thursday.

    Volunteer Expense Description:

    We highly value the contribution and dedication of volunteers at our school, as they play a crucial role in enhancing the learning environment and supporting our students' growth. To ensure the smooth functioning of our volunteer program, we want to inform you about the expenses involved during a one-month volunteering period.

    The total expense for hosting a volunteer for one month amounts to $500. However, we are delighted to inform you that the school will cover this expense.

    By covering the volunteer expenses, we aim to attract individuals who are genuinely interested in making a positive impact on the lives of our students. We believe that this financial support will encourage dedicated individuals to join our team and commit their time, skills, and knowledge to help our school community thrive.

    We understand that volunteering requires a significant commitment of time and effort, and we want to ensure that those who undertake this role are serious about their responsibilities.
