I was able to contribute to a local NGO in a meaningful way and discover/experience a new country. Win-win. :-)

The IVHQ Program Manager was very helpful and answered all the questions I had. It was very helpful online meeting with the other volunteers.
My experience of 3 weeks volunteering in Cambodia has a big impact on my personal life, growth and confidence as a person and a teacher. Living in the different part of the world, learning new Asian culture has left incredible memories for the rest of my life. I had an amazing experience as a volunteer. The Local Team took great care of me. I felt like at home. The organisation where I was teaching English is fantastic. Nice dedicated teachers and management team. I enjoyed every day interacting with warm hearted students. I left thinking that I'll definitely come back one day.
I'm extremely happy that I joined this program, not a slight regret, only positive emotions, exceptional experience and wonderful memories for the rest of my life, new friends, self growth. Highly recommended everone who is ready for it and many more what is difficult to express in words.

This was the most amazing trip I have been on. It helped me learn so much about others and about myself. There is truly nothing to be afraid of when in Cambodia.

Volunteering in Cambodia has allowed me to be completely immersed in a new culture, and provide support to a very deserving community. I would recommend this opportunity to anyone. Not only did I have the opportunity to teach English to children, but I was also able to utilise my teaching experience from my home country to provide valuable teacher training to the teachers at the school. A truly unforgettable experience.
