Giving Back to the Global Community
Volunteer Cambodia works together with local primary school
- The school caters to over 1,500 students in the local community.
- There are 5 or 6 sections of each grade level with 50 students per class.
- Most students live in modest farming communities. They go to school half day and work on the farm to help their families.
- The students are eager to learn and practice their English to pursue future opportunities in travel and hospitality.
- The school operates under the national curriculum set by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport of the Kingdom of Cambodia.
Over 150 high school students from Ho Chi Minh City will travel to Siem Reap, Cambodia to teach English, ICT, Arts & Crafts, Science, and PE in local primary schools as part of a global outreach program known as Volunteer Cambodia.

Cambodia, a country whose recent past has been scarred by the brutal Khmer Rouge regime which wiped out 25 percent of the population, is the focus of an upcoming humanitarian project involving 100 international high school students from Singapore, Indonesia and Australia, set to kick off in October.
Volunteer Cambodia began as a simple effort to do something positive in the community,” says Michael Preston, Headmaster of Singapore International School, one of six participating schools in Jakarta.
