The Experience

Help Cambodian English teachers improve their English — even if you only have 1–2 hours! Traveling around Siem Reap but don’t have time for a full volunteer program? We created a flexible option for you! At HELO School, teachers work with kids from low-income families but have little space to develop their own English. Your support helps them grow, gain confidence, and teach even better. 💛

Teaching at the organization has been one of the most fulfilling and rewarding experiences of my life. From the very first day, I was met with warmth, kindness, and a genuine sense of community. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and eager to collaborate, creating an environment where both teaching and learning could thrive. Working with the children was especially meaningful. Their curiosity, enthusiasm, and unique perspectives made each day exciting and worthwhile. Being part of their learning journey was not just a job, but a privilege. the organization will always have a special place in my heart.

Volunteering at the organization was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. The project created by Sophara is truly meaningful, and the teachers are kind, supportive, and dedicated. As a non-native English speaker without teaching skills, I felt guided and valued while assisting in classes. The children are polite, eager to learn, and it's easy to build a real bond with them. The accommodation, food, and warm welcome made me feel safe and at home. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip and a project I truly recommend. I highly recommend this experience.

My experience at the organization was absolutely incredible. From the moment I arrived, I felt like part of a big family and community. The kids and the village welcomed me with open arms, and I truly felt immersed in Khmer culture. During my two weeks here, I became so close with the other volunteers and teachers, making the goodbye incredibly hard and emotional. This has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life, and I cannot recommend it enough. Sophara is doing something truly amazing for his community, and I feel so grateful to have been a small part of it.

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!
