I would like to help

Country forums / South-East Asia Mainland / Cambodia

hi im look to help out a good cause in cambodia, i can pay my airfare , rent and food and can offer hard work!! but no money, can anybody recommend anything, helping people of any age would be great.

Try searching on Idealist.org. There is some good info there. I would however avoid any of the volunteer oportunities that make YOU pay them though. I find the idea ridiculous. There are many, many orphanages and such that would even be glad to put you up in modest conditions as well as feed you a meal or two per day in exchange for your work in helping the locals practice their english.

If I may suggest, and if you have time, I would recommend volunteering somewhere in the provinces to see the real cambodia. I have found many opportunities by Googling, but I am sorry I lost all the links recently when I had to reinstall everything on my computer.

Good luck and have fun. But by no means pay to volunteer when there are loads of places that would be grateful to have you without paying.
