Volunteer on NGO Development in Cambodia

Moreover, the organization aim to improve the living conditions of their populations. However, NGOs are often very limited in financial and staffing resources. Therefore volunteers can fill in the gap an join the team temporarily.

Generally, Cambodians are very conscious about cleanliness.
The host family will provide you with three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you prefer to have lunch at work, it might be possible ask your host family to prepare a lunchbox for you.
