We absolutely loved our time at the organization! The children were so lovely and keen to learn and the teachers were very kind and genuine. They ask you lots of questions about your life and make you feel very welcomed. Sophara and Dalin were great hosts; we had yummy meals and the room was great, had everything we needed. This experience really allows you to explore the community and get to know the village in a way that most can't. The main city is also only 20 minute tuktuk so you have lots of opportunities to explore in your free timewould recommend this to everyone i thought it was amazing!

I had the most wonderful time at the organization. The teachers treat you like a member of the team and a friend, and genuinely interested in a knowledge exchange — which is super important since you are not teaching alone, but alongside them. The children are the sweetest, they made me feel so welcomed and loved ❤️ Sophara and Dalin, the hosts, were amazing and always made sure I was comfortable (thank you so much for the delicious food, Dalin!). I cannot say enough good thing about this project. All of this made the experience my favourite volunteer project ever!

My experience at the organization was truly transformative. Getting to know the entire community, living in the village, and learning about the local culture while spending time with the children was incredibly meaningful. The children have a good level of English and are remarkably polite and kind. The teachers are not only outstanding professionals but also wonderful people. Living with the host family was also an unforgettable experience—everything is thoughtfully arranged to make you feel at home (and the food is absolutely delicious).

Thank you so much for the hospitality, home cooked food and wonderful experience. The children at the organization is so well behaved and so loveable. We felt very welcomed and generally we felt open hearted with many precious moments with the beautiful angel kids, the teachers and sweet Darling. They provided us with separate bedrooms, fruit after almost every meal, interesting conversations about the history of this place and it's people. The internet was also very good and we worked online with no problems. We wish you all a happy New year and we love you! Life changing ❤️!

It was an unforgettable experience. Each volunteer no matter where in the world you come from, what language you natively speak or what you believe in is warmly welcomed and immersed into the organization community and the community at large. We were whole-heartedly taken in, looked after and given the raw and humble Cambodian experience. The people of Spean Kaek village are friendly and inviting. The kids enthusiasm is contagious and they were a breath of fresh air. I will remember this experience for as long as I live.

The organization was the best volunteer experience I've ever had! I stayed there for 2 weeks, but wishing I had extra time bc I fell in love with the organization, khmer culture, community & kids. Sophara and Dalin are such great hosts, with an interesting background and inspiring story. I worked directly with Teacher Handsome, which I really enjoyed, but all the other teachers I met were great. The kids have an amazing English level, they are so cute, polite and interested on learning. the organization is so organized, I'm happy to see the great job they are doing. My room was so good and the food was yummy!

I volunteered at LLCCA the organization for 2 weeks. The Cambodian teachers at the organization were all so nice and friendly. Volunteers job is to help to assist their lessons, helping with pronunciation/ marking work ect. All the children were so sweet and excited to learn it was so fun!! Sarath was nice and the food provided was good :)the organization is very rural and there are no shops/ things to do walking distance so make sure you bring essentials you need! At the weekend I'd recommended staying in Siem Reap for more to do. The accommodation was fine but it was very hot when I was there with just a fan.
