Community Village School who do farming
Cambodia
**Profile Description for WWOOF**
We are a small charity organization based in the tranquil village of Prey Sbat, Takeo Province, Cambodia. Our project focuses on providing free education, agricultural training, and community support to local children and families. The people living here include a dedicated team of educators, volunteers, and a few local families. We have no pets but take pride in our peaceful and welcoming environment.
WWOOFers will be provided with free accommodations, including a private room with a mosquito net, bedding, and two daily meals—lunch and dinner. We aim to create a family-like atmosphere where you’ll feel at home while contributing to our community.
Our farming activities involve sustainable crop cultivation, animal care, and organic gardening. WWOOFers can expect to learn about basic agriculture, animal husbandry, and eco-friendly farming techniques, as well as engage in community education programs. We look forward to teaching volunteers hands-on farming skills while sharing cultural experiences in our beautiful rural setting.
**Typical Farming Activities**
Our farming activities focus on sustainable agriculture, including growing vegetables, fruits, and herbs, as well as animal husbandry. WWOOFers will participate in daily tasks like planting, watering, weeding, and harvesting crops, as well as feeding and caring for animals. We also practice composting and natural pest control methods to maintain an eco-friendly farm.
**What We Teach WWOOFers**
You will learn how to grow food sustainably using local techniques, improve soil health through composting, and manage small-scale livestock. WWOOFers will also gain insights into how farming supports our educational and community initiatives.
**Average Day for a WWOOFer**
A typical day begins with breakfast, followed by 3-4 hours of farming tasks. In the afternoon, WWOOFers might assist with community activities or help with small construction projects. Evenings are free to explore the village or relax with the team.
**Feeding and Housing for WWOOFers**
WWOOFers will be provided with free accommodations in a comfortable room equipped with a mosquito net, bedding (blanket and pillows), and basic necessities like a towel. The room is simple yet cozy, offering a relaxing space to unwind after a day of work.
We offer two free meals daily—lunch and dinner—prepared with fresh, local ingredients. Meals typically include a mix of rice, vegetables, and protein, reflecting the local Cambodian cuisine. WWOOFers are also welcome to join in cooking and meal preparation to learn more about local dishes and ingredients.
We enjoy a variety of hobbies here, from cooking traditional Cambodian dishes to playing music with local instruments. Volunteers are welcome to join us in these activities and even share their own musical skills.
For those who enjoy the outdoors, the area offers opportunities for hiking through nearby scenic routes and exploring the surrounding countryside. On warmer days, you can visit nearby swimming spots to cool off and relax. The village also provides a great chance to immerse yourself in local culture, with markets and temples just a short walk away.

I've spent an amazing 2 months at the I see I do school. It has been a fantastic experience. I enjoyed staying close to the family of the host - Kim.
In the morning, we used to do about 2-3 hours of gardening - depending on the heat. The afternoon, we could participate or lead the teaching of the children - depending on our preferences.
Gardening involves digging, planting, weeding, watering, feeding the animals or cleaning their surrounds. There are usually priorities for the day but there was also a great deal of flexibility for the volunteers to choose timing or type of work.
In the afternoon, there were 3 lessons for the volunteers to teach. Some volunteers preferred to teach music classes like guitar, some preferred activities, some taught the kids basic English. There was also an option to teach web design. It was mostly up to the volunteers what to teach and how much to teach. Some didn't teach at all.
While most volunteers only come for about a week I would highly recommend to stay for longer. It is wonderful to get immersed in the school, in the life of the people in the village.
There are currently 5 bicycles that the volunteers can use for exploring the surrounds. The village with the market is about 5k away, so about 25 minutes by bike.
There you can stock up on food and other items. Lunch and Dinner are provided at the school.

This is a great opportunity for the past 10 years of experience of the I SEE I DO Community School, which was joined by a volunteer from Australia, Mr. Edgar. He is a person of good morals, has a kind heart, and especially he is very responsible in his work. Edgar has helped many things for this community school, such as coordinating teaching, cleaning the community, organizing vegetable gardens, especially in the livestock farm. We miss him very much and hope that one day he will visit us again in the near future. We wish Edgar good luck, good health all the time.

A fantastic experience at Kim's! I ended up staying for almost three weeks. The project is great, the tasks are varied, and you feel right at home. Kim can offer you opportunities to discover Cambodian culture, such as attending weddings or going on excursions on your days off. Being a big eater, I can assure you the food is delicious and varied. There were always several of us volunteers, which fostered a great team spirit!
In short, there's a wonderful atmosphere at this volunteer placement, and you really feel like you're working for a great cause!

This project is really fascinating and inspiring. I loved to have been there for 2 weeks and I would have extended if I had more time. It’s not only a school but a beautiful project where Mr Kim and his family help other people in the community that are in need. I see I do!
The school is an afternoon reinforcement for the children to improve english, mandarin and computers, the volunteers help in more creative activities and give the children the opportunity to speak in english and have contact with other cultures. You can also propose new activities if you feel like.
In the morning you help in the maintenance of the garden, new construction or whatever is going on. They have a lot of trees, animals and plantations to be self sufficient. And always thinking on how to grow and improve the project.
There are always other volunteers so it’s very nice to meet new people and share this experience.
You need to see it by yourself :)
Thanks Kim!

My two-week stay at the charity school with Mr. Kim and his family has been an unforgettable experience. Everyone here was incredibly kind, welcoming, and supportive from the very first day.
During my time here, I helped with gardening tasks such as cutting bamboo, shoveling sand into wheelbarrows and transporting it to the building that is soon to become an orphanage. I also swept the classrooms and helped feed the fish and birds. It felt meaningful to contribute, even in small ways, to the amazing work being done here.
Mr. Kim shared his culture with us and took us to various events, giving us insights we would have never experienced otherwise. He is truly the best host—an exceptional man with a big heart and a genuine passion for helping others.
Thank you for everything. I leave with gratitude, beautiful memories, and deep respect for this place and its people.

First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to WWOOF for introducing me to I SEE I DO and for working with Maya for the nature and children of Cambodia.
Thank you for Maya’s generosity and hard work with many other volunteers to maintain the garden, feed the animals, visit the poor in remote rural areas, and especially for putting all your strength and energy into building the school, including the orphanage.
We hope that Maya will visit I SEE I DO again in the near future. We wish you good luck and enjoy your trip everywhere.
Best Regards,
Kim Ny-I SEE I DO

NAOTO is a gentle man, he respects the rights of his colleagues and knows how to help those around him. He especially loves agricultural work, he respects the work plan and is meticulous. NAOTO is the second volunteer of the Japanese people to volunteer with the I SEE I DO project in a province in the south of Cambodia. A small community school in a remote area of Cambodia, I hope that the Japanese people will join us in helping Cambodian children. The people of Cambodia respect the Japanese people and the culture of this country. The family of the I SEE I DO community school wishes him good health, happiness in his travels, and hopes that he will come to visit and work with us again.
