Sophea and his wife are amazing hosts! We felt very welcomed as soon as we arrived and their kids were very cute. Moreover, the food is delicious. The hours were as agreed and I personally learned a lot by staying here but I felt a bit useless as I only stayed for one week, didn’t know the exact mechanisms of the school and especially couldn’t speak Khmer. However I learned a lot about the local culture, the ways of teaching in Cambodia etc. I would recommend this experience for personal development but I think I would also recommend to stay longer if you want to be useful.

I only stayed here for one week. Therefore I felt like I was mostly observing and not being very helpful, since I first had to learn about the school and how it works. It was still very nice to meet the kids. They were super fun and interested. Sophea is a friendly welcoming host who always tried to make my stay as enjoyable as possible. Sopheas wife is super friendly as well. She is also a great cook and prepared delicious meals (I am vegetarian and that was not a problem at all). I would recommend staying longer than I did to really have time to meet the kids and and help the school.

We recently had the opportunity to volunteer at this local school in a rural village. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed and felt like at home with Sophea and his family.

We were supporting a local teacher at his English class, and we tried our best to make a positive impact with the children.

The room is basic but ok and the food is very good. We also participated in community events and went to a house warming event.

One of our highlights during our stay, were the children, they are so kind, adorable and with enthusiasm to learn English.

Thank you Sophea

I’ve had an amazing two weeks at the school. Sophea and his family welcomed me with open arms and made sure I am comfortable at all times. I was teaching classes on my own from day 1. I really enjoyed this as it allowed me to connect with the kids on a deeper level. I also attended a wedding, a birthday party and a house warming party - all three amazing experiences, I’ve had a lot of fun meeting the local community and learning about their culture. The school is in a rural area so a driving licence would have come in handy but the family took me wherever I needed to go. Thanks Sophea!

I spent a week teaching English here and really enjoyed it. The children were so lovely and Sophea + his family were very welcoming & accommodating and spoke great english. I was the only volunteer during my time there and it was very quiet as it's a super small village. 3 of 5 days I was leading a class by myself which was a great experience but a little tricky as I don't speak Khmer so maybe be aware of that. Overall, would recommend this volunteering to fully immerse yourself in the culture (I got to experience a Khmer wedding and local markets) and to feel like you're making a difference!
