There are three areas requiring volunteer support:
New Hope Cambodia School
The School educates around 1000 students daily, teaching English, math, computer skills, moral and gender equality and sewing. We are always in need of fluent English-speaking volunteers to support our Khmer teachers in the classrooms with pronunciation and grammar. Classes run daily between 08:00 and 10:30 and again from 14:00 to 18:00. We ask each volunteer to commit to the morning, afternoon or both sessions.
The Helen Bonner Health Centre
The Helen Bonner Health Centre welcomes qualified nurses who are interested in gaining experience in a third-world country. We accept Volunteers in this area for a period of 1 week to 1 month. However longer-term volunteer applications will be considered.
Community Development Program
The Community Development Program provides an opportunity for those who wish to assist our Social Workers. Working with families in crisis situations is both challenging and rewarding. It involves problem solving, assisting our Khmer Social Workers with their family reports, and visits to the community. Volunteers for the Community Development Program must have computer skills so that they can assist our staff in preparing and vetting family reports.
