A day in the life of a volunteer



Our volunteers enjoy every day they come to school, mainly because the children make it such a great place to work but also because they see the effect they are having over the time they are here.

Here is a typical day in the life of one our recent volunteers - Thea from Australia!
Cycling to school - most of our volunteers stay in guesthouses
or hotels in town, and the cheapest way to get to school is
on a bike (75c per day)


When you get to school you'll often see the kids already there
playing games and chatting

The boys often play a Cambodian version of dodge
ballbut they use a Vortex style toy instead... ow!

Once the kids have calmed down, they make a line
and then sing the Cambodian national anthem
before going to class.

Next up we get ready for the day, putting on
our school uniform and staff ID!










Finally we go to class, where we study for
two hours. Thea is doing one on one
conversation in this photo













After class, we head to the playground and line-up before leaving.
Sometimes our volunteers have to say goodbye too.
Here is Thea on her last day!
