Minimum stay and contribution
● Ideally we ask for a minimum stay of one teaching week (Monday–Friday), to ensure continuity for both the students and the volunteers. You will live at the school in a traditional Khmer style home with other volunteers. You will have your own personal double bed but you might share the big bedrooms with other volunteers if necessary. Each bedroom has a dresser, a mosquito net and a fan. The volunteers have access to western toilets and showers. Filtered water is also available for drinking and you will be able to try delicious Khmer food cooked daily by my wife.

5.10 euros/ day, the equivalent of 6$.
Whilst formal teaching qualification is not required you will need to do some class preparation but what matters most is PATIENT, RELIABLE and FUN attitude and a genuine interest in working with children.
There is a daily contribution of $6 per day, which goes entirely to the NGO. This helps cover the daily meal cost of hosting volunteers — including meals, Wi-Fi, electricity, and running water and also supports the family running the school, allowing for ongoing improvements to teaching materials and the learning environment.

We spent 10 wonderful days at Phoeury’s school and enjoyed every moment of our stay. We had a comfortable upstairs room with two fans, which made it very pleasant. Phoeury provided two hot meals a day, and the food was delicious. Classes were held from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., and the children were amazing—it was a pleasure to teach them. The whole family was kind, warm, and welcoming, and they also provided free bicycles. It took only about 10 minutes to reach a nearby coffee shop and the local market. We are very grateful for this experience and highly recommend staying with Phoeury and his family.
I spent two weeks at Phoeury’s school, and it was a truly wonderful and enriching experience. The family is incredibly welcoming, always available, and made me feel at home from the very first day. Teaching English at the school was very stimulating, as the students are sweet, respectful, and eager to learn and challenge themselves. They are curious and enthusiastic, and it was exciting to see their motivation during the lessons.

It was an incredible experience, and I highly recommend everyone to come here for at least two weeks to get to know this amazing community and family. As soon as you arrive, you can see the great impact this school has on the community. You also get to enjoy beautiful landscapes using the school’s bicycles, taste Poeuy’s wife’s delicious food, and easily plan tours with Poeuy.

Heloise has been a fantastic addition to our team, demonstrating a genuine passion for working with children. Her interactions with the students were always positive and engaging, and she has a natural ability to connect with them while fostering a supportive and encouraging environment. She was reliable, punctual, and consistently brought a positive attitude to her role. We are grateful for her contributions and would welcome her back anytime in the future. Thank you, Heloise, for your hard work and dedication.
