If you're looking for a volunteering opportunity in Cambodia, look no further. This was a life changing and incredible place to volunteer. Sean and his whole family were so welcoming from the onset and made sure we had opportunities to learn about the local culture, and socialise with other volunteers. Sean is excellent at helping volunteers come together and socialise. It is a wonderful volunteering opportunity as you get to socialise and teach the children of Sean's Orphanage. Sean and his family help and guide you to learn how to structure your lesson. Rooms were a good standard 🙏🏼

This experience was a life changing one for me and I can't recommend it enough. I was amazed by how welcoming Sean and his family are, towards the volunteers and the community. Sean is an inspiration since he built this project from scratch and he's doing an exceptional work making sure the children are taken care of. He understands the importance of English language when it comes to professional opportunities, so he does his best to ensure the children will have a good life. I had the time of my life learning and playing with the most loving children, and I hope to see them again soon.

This was an amazing experience and I couldn't recommend enough. Me and my partner stayed for a bit over two weeks but still didn't feel like it was long enough. Sean and his wife are amazing hosts who go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable, welcomed and enjoy the school and offers some of the best Khmer food I've had. We felt like we were at home as soon as we walked through the door as the kids and Sean and his family are super friendly. If you're looking to volunteer somewhere this is the place where you will make lifelong memories. Only bad thing was having to say goodbye

Me and my partner spent two weeks here at the school and we loved it so much. Sean is a kindhearted man with a great sense of humour, and we instantly felt welcomed by him and his family. The kids living there enjoy spending time with volunteers and playing games. The school kids are happy loving and the English classes are great fun! If you have any particular skills (eg tradesmen, content creation) Sean is very appreciative of any help offered and for volunteers to share their ideas. The Aircon in the room works brilliantly. We will miss the school dearly, the experience was so fulfilling

I volunteered at the school with my partner and it was the most special experience of our travels. We stayed for one week and by the end we were very sad to leaves the kids and the school family. The kids seem to be thriving and they are very eager to learn, play, and connect with the volunteers. Food is amazing, and schedule allows for sufficient down time. Also Sean, the host, has a very big heart and is fully committed to his project which he built from the ground up himself. If I had to say one thing it would be that the accommodations could be cleaner, but wifi, AC and hot shower are great.
