Give and Getaways Volunteer Vacations
Monthly Special - Focus on Cambodia!
What an incredible time to explore the colonial architecture of Phnom Penh and perhaps venture on to Siem Reap, gateway to the largest temple complex in the world including the legendary Angkor Wat!
CAMBODIA is the place to be and we have some terrific volunteer opportunities to get you there. Here are a few trips to consider:
Care for Orphans:Play a small part in a very large and ongoing mission to help develop this confounding kingdom and provide much needed care and attention to young children on this exciting project. You’ll help to create an educational and fun environment for the local children of Phnom Penh, as well as supporting the childrens’ nutrition and health. By joining this rewarding volunteer project, you will become fully immersed in true Cambodian life. You will help to provide care and education to young disadvantaged children (ages 5 and under) in order to support their nutrition and health while easing their family’s burden.

In addition to the school building there are opportunities to provide scholarships to deserving students who are vulnerable to dropping out of school due to poverty. This includes an innovative project providing bicycles to students to improve their access to schools that are too far away to walk.
