AmeriSpan offers Volunteer placements in Cambodia

CAMBODIA shares borders with Thailand, Laos and Vietnam and has its Western Coast on the Gulf of Thailand. The tropical climate attracts travelers to its pristine beaches, relaxed countryside and mountain villages. Cambodia has recently woken up from a turbulent political past and is becoming a burgeoning tourist destination, offering the incredible lessons of its past as well as a glimpse into its future. Though still a poor country, tourism has helped in shaping its new economy and the people of Cambodia welcome visitors with open arms.

Along with its amazing history, travelers can enjoy the country’s natural beauty, numerous temples and bustling cities as well as the cultures and people. The country is entirely tropical and has two seasons, the wet season from May through October and the dry from November through April. The Khmer make up the ethnic majority, but there are still various hill tribe cultures that comprise Cambodia’s population. Most of the country is religious with about 95% Theravadan Buddhists. A traveler here will certainly appreciate the beauty of the Cambodian countryside as well as the religious artistry throughout.

Siem Reap is the main destination for volunteers in this program. The first week will take place near Siem Reap in a village called Samraong and will be dedicated to learning about the culture and language, then volunteers will begin work in their specific placements. Volunteers can work in schools, medical centers and other community initiatives to help bring much needed change to a country that is still emerging from its turbulent history.

AmeriSpan Tip:

When in the countryside, it's best to stay on well-marked paths as landmines are still a problem throughout the country.
