Cambodia is a country that faces many social and economic issues characteristic of developing nations. GapGuru is proud to work with a fantastic local NGO in Battambang, which aims to provide education and vocational training to children and adults from disadvantaged backgrounds. 

Your volunteer role: As a GapGuru volunteer, your role on this project will depend entirely on your own skills and interests. There is great flexibility to develop educational programmes so that you can share your own individual talents.

Alongside life skills, gap year volunteers can also teach English, broadening the scope of future employment options as well as higher education. Irrespective of the field in which you are teaching, the level of spoken English is low so you will have to be patient and be able to improvise.

Your volunteer experience: Education and vocational training in this inspiring community is a fantastic opportunity to ensure brighter futures through meaningful volunteering. You can inspire vulnerable individuals to discover the confidence and learn the skills needed to give them the tools for a better life.
