Cambodia

24 • Updated 1 year ago

**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. English and Khmer

Kim’s project truly touched our hearts, and I was grateful to be a part of it for 10 days. Kim is a very kind, respectful, and warm-hearted person who also took the time to show us the surrounding area on our days off. I am very happy to have had this experience and learned so much during my stay. I would gladly visit this place again in the future.

Mr Kim has a heart of gold and is trying very hard to help children in his community. Unfortunately, we had to leave the WWOOF earlier because we both got sick, so I would maybe be cautious if you have a sensitive stomach. There were 2 meals a day: rice and vegetables with sometimes a bit of egg/meat. We were there during hot season which was a bit too warm for us Northern Europeans but the work was doable and we could rest whenever we wanted. We did 3 hours of "farm" work in the morning and taught 1 in the afternoon, 5 days a week. Mr Kim, the volunteers and the kids from the school were very friendly and open, and Mr Kim even brought us to a Khmer wedding which was amazing! Overall a good place to help out as you will feel that you make a difference, but don't expect a lot of comfort as it is a project relying practically entirely on volunteering and donations. We wish Mr Kim and the kids the best of luck and good health in the future.

I hope you have great trips ahead. Please come back to visit us any day in the near future when you have time. Best Regards, Kim

3 weeks later and a lovely experience at I See I Do! Mr. Kim is a gracious host with a big heart and an ambitious attitude. I am grateful to have helped for the few weeks I was there. Mornings were various farm chores: pruning trees, weeding in the gardens or small garden improvement projects. It was hotttttt but manageable with many water breaks. After a break for lunch and a nap :) the afternoon sessions were for teaching. There are three classes grouped by age ranging from 6 to 12 years old. As a volunteer, you lead or assist with english lessons depending on your level of interest. This was an unexpected joy of volunteering for me and a great opportunity to learn more about teaching. In addition to the work each day, there were also many opportunities to join Mr. Kim for parties, weddings or dinners where our company was warmly welcomed. There were many fun nights eating local dishes and dancing the night away. “Step by step” Mr Kim has built a wonderful community which he graciously shares. During my stay I met many great volunteers, friends and shared many great smiles. Thank you Mr. Kim and the good that you do.

Thank you WWOOF introduced I SEE I DO Community School to know Eliijah, especially working together to build a better future for children in remote rural areas of Cambodia foralmost a month. He has worked hard to do many things for the children in I SEE I DO Community school, including teaching English to hundreds of students, teaching Cambodian children to understand and love the environment, including protecting the natural environment to be clean, and participating in many other things in the garden, especially taking care of animals and feeding them various kinds of animals. In addition to the work he has done at I SEE I DO Community School, he has also done internships with other volunteer groups to study the situation of poor children, orphans who live in difficult conditions, have no homes, and lack water for their daily lives. He is a person with a good character, a kind heart, and a generous spirit. He always helps her colleagues, especially caring for children by being close to them directly, and working hard to prepare clear teaching plans. During almost a month of volunteering for a safe future for children and to change the future of Cambodian children to a bright future that will provide them with good jobs, he is not only left behind many unforgettable memories for Cambodian children. We hope you will come to visit us again and keep in touch with forever as much you can. We wish you to have good luck, wealthy, healthy, live in happy live, enjoy your next trip.

We had an amazing time at I See I Do School during our one-month stay. Kim is an amazing host—very kind and ambitious. We loved the fact that his projects to help people are so thoughtful; he truly helps them learn how to make money. He is very involved and always tries to help. The tasks in the Woofing program are varied, we rarely did the same thing twice, which made it interesting. The workload is always reasonable; sometimes it’s hard because of the heat, but never too much to handle. If you enjoy teaching, the children are definitely an amazing part of the experience. They really want to learn and are a lot of fun. We definitely recommend trying to teach, or at least assisting a teacher to observe. Kim also gives you plenty of opportunities to attend parties, gatherings, and weddings, which is really nice. You go along with him and are always warmly welcomed. There is a small place 2–5 minutes away at the end of the road for you to buy things for yourbreakfast. You can also ride a bike (that Kim lends you) for about 20 minutes to go to the market, which is also a fun experience because everyone says hello when you pass by. We really recommend coming to this school, it’s a very interesting place. Mr. Kim is super nice and funny, and his wife and children are also very welcoming. Thank you to all of them, and hopefully we’ll see you again

Kim was an amazing host. The I SEE I DO schoool was a great experience. The farm work in the morning was really fun, helping build lots of things to improve the environment of the school and the teaching in the afternoon was really great- the kids are so friendly.

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.
