CAMBODIA WITH GLOBE AWARE VOLUNTEER VACATIONS
Channel: Globe Aware - Adventures in Service

Cambodia Rediscovered

Cambodia is one of the most fascinating countries in Southeast Asia. Following years of war and genocide, Cambodia is now a very safe place to visit, and most importantly, extremely needy. Unfortunately, most Cambodians are not reaping the benefits of the blossoming tourism industry, and a large percentage of people still live in abject poverty. Cambodia's children are in need of attention, there is a burgeoning street-child problem, and schools are inadequately equipped to deal with the increasing number of students. 
 
Work Project
Globe Aware's program is located in Siem Reap, the gateway to the famous Angkor Wat temples. Volunteers will participate in a variety of projects, including teaching English to young people as well as monks. Volunteers will also be able to work with children at a local Street Children's Center. The staff of the center brings children off the street and provides them with alternatives to drugs and prostitution. As so many have been injured by landmines, or are victims of polio and other debilitating illnesses, volunteers may be able to assemble and distribute wheelchairs to needy recipients in rural villages.
