Volunteering at LBS School was a great experience. The kids were curious, respectful, & excited to learn. I enjoyed leading the teacher trainings & connecting with my fellow English teachers in a fun and meaningful way. The school is in a rural setting, so the accommodation is basic with just a fan, and power or water may cut out during storms, but it is manageable and all part of the experience. Meals are local with a $3 daily budget and optional reimbursement. Salath is passionate and truly committed to creating a space where all kids can thrive. I would love to return someday!

This has been a great experience with the kids as english teacher and sharing with other fellow teachers too. The location is a bit of a trek since it is away from international airports and major cities, but that's where the help much need it, as I see it. The only thing I say, maybe the accommodation isn't cozy enough, sometimes the water and electricity was gone most days, and the heat makes it hard to sleep at night or work remotely (if you do, like me, I go to 5min ride to a Family Mart coffee shop the only place I found with AC ). I expect edhalf of the things and yet enjoyed

Absolutely loved working with the children and the teachers there. I felt very welcomed and at home with them. The young teachers there are very passionate about what they do. They work long hours each day and spend their weekends at uni in Battambang to complete their teaching courses.I will miss the team and all the children greatly! The fascilities at the dorm were extremely minimal and not homely which i didnt expect from a team dorm. But it was managable even when there was no running water. I didnt have much contact with the host as he was very busy with the other campusses

I made friends with the local teachers who are caring and really hard-working, and I have learned a lot about local life in Cambodia - which I'm truly grateful for. The kids are also great and willing to learn (+ there's an adorable dog). A special thanks to teacher Tharith, Binh and Rata. The wifi is good, but it's hard to work remotely with the teaching schedule. So I asked to change my hours - which mostly was ok. The dorms are very basic and running water is not guaranteed. It's a 20 min. walk away from food stalls (remember food is not provided). There's also no bikes.

I had a great time at LBS School. Saleth runs an extensive number of classes with the ambition to elevate the children's language skills are provide them with more career opportunities. He is incredibly passionate and this shows in his commitment to the school. The teachers are hardworking and committed, the children are incredibly driven and eager to learn. The accommodation and school is in a rural location so perfect for someone wanting some quiet time to just focus on volunteering with the opportunity to explore Battambang city at the weekends. Great first experience teaching English!

Teaching English at the school was a truly amazing experience that I will not forget. You will be assigned to teachers to help them on the courses. The work hours are exactly as agreed (2 hours in the morning, 3 in the afternoon). The teachers are really nice, and the students are so lovely, with a real will to learn English. Locals are really friendly and welcoming, even if they mostly don't speak English. The dorm is 5-minutes by walk from the school, in the village. There is no Wi-Fi in the village so buy a Sim card with a good connection before !

Thank you so much, Miss Emeline for your time and energy to volunteer in our school. Your help really made a big difference to our school. A lot of our students were given chances to practice their English with you. Also, I would like to wholeheartedly thank you for the sponsorship you gave to the kids.

On the other hand, we would like to apologize for not having wifi at dorm due to our financial burden. Now we have wifi at dorm. So next volunteers won’t have to worry about that.

Volunteering in this small, peaceful town has been a truly enriching experience, far from the noise of the city. The locals are incredibly friendly, and despite language barriers, you can form deep connections. The teachers are professional, and the team is always open to hearing suggestions—if you're proactive, this is the perfect place for you. Work hours were exactly as agreed, with no pressure to do more. Though the Wi-Fi and accommodation facilities need improvement, the owner is working on it. A fantastic experience if you seek countryside life and a true connection with the locals.
