There are several ways you can help. We would like volunteers to come and help our children. Our Khmer teachers appreciate assistance, especially with reading and pronunciation exercises with the children. If you can't visit Battambang and still want to help, consider making a donation (see our "donate" page). Even small donations are very much appreciated.
.Contact Mr. Sun Saveth (see our contact page) or complete the Volunteer Application Form and email it to kngocamb@gmail.com. Once your application has been approved, we will make arrangements to welcome you to KNGO and make your stay as comfortable as possible.
Arrangements should be made with Mr. Sun Saveth.
A minimum of one week volunteering is required but longer periods of time is welcome. Our children and teachers are so grateful for your help that the experience can be rewarding for you and for the children!
No, but we ask you to self support with transport, food and accommodation. KNGO receives no government funding and relies on donations and other fundraising activities to provide a sustainable program in our local community. The volunteer donations help to sustain our free educational program for poor students in the rural community of Odambang 1. A donation of USD100 would support a student in our education program for approximately 1 year. Students who have dropped out of school can be helped to re-attend with KNGO supplementary classes.
Yes! Don't worry about lack of teaching experience. Our children benefit greatly just by interacting with native English speakers and practicing their English and pronunciation skills. You'll be assisting an English speaking member of the KNGO team.
Of course! Just check out testimonials page to hear what previous volunteers have said about their time at KNGO.
The village is about a 15 minute scooter/tuk tuk ride from Battambang city. You need to let us know your arrival date and Mr. Sun Saveth can arrange to have you safely brought to KNGO office on your first volunteering day.
