Aspire School - Homestay & Volunteer !

Welcome to ASPIRE School - Homestay & Volunteer !

Volunteers that choose to help ASPIRE can expect a wholesome and rewarding experience. Volunteering at ASPIRE school - Homestay will also allow you to be immersed in local Cambodian culture. If you look at our photo gallery, you can see various activities that the children enjoyed with our past volunteers. These activities have been created by voluntary teachers, many of whom have given their time and resources, adding to the opportunities we can offer our children, such as Khmer traditional dance, music instruments, and other school activities. We also welcome people from all backgrounds regardless whether you are fluent in English or not. This is also a great place to volunteer as a group as we provide housing for multiple guests.

ASPIRE School - Homestay & Volunteer to help for poor, homeless and orphans, is located 7kms to the east of the center of Siem Reap, on National Road 6 in Trang Village. ASPIRE is a non-governmental, non-profit organization aimed to assist children who are either orphaned, homeless, in poverty or have disabilities. We try to offer free education to children, especially destitute families throughout Cambodia . Cambodia suffered greatly during the Khmer Rouge and genocide (1975 - 1979) this totally decimated the population, many of the remaining population being left homeless, without food and shelter. Since then Cambodia has been slowly developing. However even now, work is not plentiful here so a lot of people leave to work outside the country or in areas where they cannot take their children. These children would be homeless if it was not for organizations such as Aspire school. We are providing 24 hour care for 20 of the 100 children from extreme poverty families in Siem Reap, free education for all the children. They range in age between 5 to 16 years old. This is an ongoing project to support and educate children, with the goal to increase our care and education for the growing number that need our help, therefore the financial aid / support is very important and necessary especially now as the cost of living has increased. We ask for your help, which can be given by:- volunteering to work with the children, fundraising (also please feel free to discuss your fundraising ideas with us), building materials (to continue the construction of classrooms), monetary donations (to cover daily living and also reduce the loan amounts, financial reports are available on request) All donations of any amount are received with gratitude. (receipts issued) Remember with your help, these children can have a brighter future and we are proud to share that some of the older children have been able to go onto University thanks to the help of supporters and sponsors. We accept all volunteers as one of our own and we treat everyone as part of our family. As a volunteer, you will be assisting the school teacher to teach English to the children. However, you are more than welcome to teach them other cool hobbies as well. If you are interested for volunteering with our program, donating,or fundraising, please contact us.

My time at Aspire was amazing!! The whole place felt like a big family and I was welcomed in! I learnt so much about the culture and traditions of Cambodia, and felt like I was giving back and helping these children with their English! I also got to help teach them how to swim with their new pool which was definitely a bonus! I’m heading back next week for an extra week because I loved it that much! Sean is truly the best!

Aspire Homeschool Orphan Center is a beautiful place filled with love, hope, and kindness. The host and family were incredibly welcoming, and the children so sweet and grateful completely stole my heart.

It was an unforgettable experience that I believe everyone should have at least once. Helping here doesn’t just impact lives it changes yours too. Highly recommended!

My experience in Asprire and Homestay School was really nice ! Mr Sean and his family were really friendly and I felt like my home . I really loved also the children . In the beginning , I was kinda nervous about teaching them but finally it was more easier and I had a great collaboration with them . I already miss them .
I am thinking to come again so I totally recommend it to other volunteers too.

I honestly had the most magical time at Aspire. The children are so welcoming and caring and will make you feel part of the family. Sean and his wife looked after me amazingly, with his wife providing 3 delicious home cooked meals a day (included in the price). You will teach for 4 hours total at the school, but you will be directed on what to teach, so it is okay if you do not have previous experience with teaching English.

I extended my originally planned time here as I could not bring myself to leave after 10 days. I will be back soon for sure. I already miss everyone hugely ❤️
