LBSSCHOOL
Volunteering at my school offers a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of students in rural Cambodia, especially those from underprivileged backgrounds. Here’s why you should join us:
1. **Make a Lasting Difference**: Our school helps not only regular students but also orphaned and disadvantaged children. By volunteering, you'll directly contribute to improving their education and giving them a brighter future. Your presence and teaching will boost their confidence, especially in speaking English, and your influence will leave a lasting mark.
2. **A Chance to Learn and Grow**: Our school isn’t just about teaching—it’s a place where you, too, can learn and develop. You’ll gain hands-on experience in teaching, cross-cultural communication, and community engagement. Whether you're new to teaching or have experience, we provide guidance and support, allowing you to enhance your skills.
3. **Support and Collaboration**: Volunteers co-teach alongside local teachers who are there to assist you in the classroom. This collaboration enriches both you and our staff, and we encourage volunteers to share their knowledge with the local teachers, creating a sustainable impact.
4. **A Cultural Immersion**: You'll be welcomed into a close-knit community where you can experience Cambodian culture, hospitality, and kindness. From the classroom to everyday life, you'll engage with students, neighbors, and colleagues, making your stay unforgettable.
5. **Affordable and Comfortable Living**: We offer free accommodation with comfortable, clean rooms. For a small contribution, you'll enjoy nutritious meals, including local cuisine, or the option to cook in our dorm’s kitchen. We aim to provide a home-away-from-home atmosphere where you can relax after a rewarding day of teaching.
6. **Impact on Underprivileged Kids**: We secretly sponsor many underprivileged students, covering their educational materials, tuition, and even food. Your work here supports our mission of giving equal opportunities to all children, regardless of their background.
By joining us, you’re not just teaching—you’re changing lives, building connections, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. Whether you want to teach English, computer science, Chinese, or even Taekwondo, there’s a place for you here. We look forward to welcoming you!
At our school, we strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment for all volunteers. Here’s what you can expect:
1. **Respect and Appreciation**: We value the time and effort volunteers invest in our students and community. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be treated with the utmost respect and gratitude for the important role you play in our school’s mission.
2. **A Supportive Teaching Environment**: You’ll never feel alone in the classroom. Our local teachers will co-teach with you, offering assistance with translations or guidance if needed. Whether you’re a seasoned teacher or new to the field, we ensure that you feel confident and supported in your teaching role.
3. **Warm Community Connections**: Our school is in a close-knit community where students, teachers, and neighbors will welcome you with open arms. The students are eager to learn from you, often engaging in conversations outside the classroom to improve their language skills and build their confidence.
4. **Comfortable Living Arrangements**: You’ll be staying in clean, comfortable accommodations. We do everything we can to make sure you feel at home, with bunked bedrooms and all the essentials. We provide three nutritious meals daily, with the option to enjoy local cuisine or cook your own meals in our kitchen.
5. **Open Communication**: We believe in open dialogue. If you ever have questions, concerns, or suggestions during your stay, we encourage you to share them with us. We’re here to ensure you have a positive and enriching experience.
6. **Opportunities for Personal Growth**: Beyond teaching, we encourage volunteers to share their knowledge with our local teachers, which creates opportunities for cultural exchange and professional development. You’ll grow not only as a teacher but also as a learner during your time here.
In short, you can expect to be treated as a valued member of our school family, with all the support, comfort, and kindness you need to have a fulfilling and memorable experience.
