Various community development projects are underway in Cambodia to reach the areas of country where government programs have failed. These projects need manpower to continue with their community works. Volunteers can be of great help to these projects. Realizing this fact, RCDP International provides placements to volunteers in such projects. Being a part of such projects, volunteers provide substantial help in the areas of education, women's development, peace/justice and children development.
As a volunteer, you will work in your desired project, assisting in any way that you can. Placement can be customized to suit your area of expertise and interest. Your duties depend on your skills, experiences, qualifications and the need of the project. All volunteers are encouraged to be proactive and flexible.
There are no specific qualifications required for community development projects in Cambodia. However, volunteers need to have an interest in and be enthusiastic about community works and projects. Volunteers are expected to be flexible and patient.
RCDP International arranges room, meals and supervision for volunteers during the entire volunteer program. Depending upon the location of the project, volunteers will either stay in our guesthouse or with host family. Placements are usually in Phnom Penh or in/close to a provincial capital. Our Phnom Penh guesthouse is located in the center of the city (a notable Cambodian tourist city) near the Olympic Stadium and the Orussey Market, equipped with necessary modern amenities.
Our host families are very friendly and hospitable. They look forward to learning more about your home-country, culture and life. Whether you stay in our guesthouse or with host family, we manage clean but simple accommodations with a separate room (occasionally shared with other volunteers), shared bathroom with cold water (usually no hot water is available) and a fan. You will be provided with local meals thrice a day. Usually, volunteers have breakfast in either a small restaurant, with host families or at work. Some volunteers have lunch at the orphanage. If a volunteer has special dietary requirements (e.g. as a vegetarian or vegan), we recommend you stay in our guesthouse and not with host family, as meat is the basis of most local Cambodian meals.

The mission of RCDP-Nepal is to encourage international volunteers to contribute in sustainable community development that benefits the underprivileged and extremely poor. By developing the places and the communities, the volunteers are also developing themselves and learning new perspectives and ideas that will ultimately change their lives.
