Knowledge of English language is considered a basic requirement in today’s competitive world. In Cambodia, it’s also become imperative to have good English to get good jobs. Rural schools in Cambodia, however, cannot provide English language classes to students because they are low on resources. Under such circumstances, students struggle hard to keep up with the rest of the world. You can volunteer to teach these children basic English in order to improve their chances for a brighter future.
Volunteers will work primarily as English-teachers/instructors either in public and/or private schools. Depending upon the need, volunteers may be asked to assist in other extracurricular activities such as sports, games, etc. Volunteer’s duties include:
There are no specific skills or qualifications required. However, volunteers are expected to have some kind of teaching certification or academic degree. Volunteers must have the passion and interest to help these children. Non-native English speakers with a masterful command of English language might also be considered eligible for this project.
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.
