Khmer New Generation Organization
Volunteering Activities
What We Need
We are constantly seeking volunteers to assist our Khmer teachers with our English literacy program and to implement a football program. Regardless of whether you have teaching experience or not, the interaction volunteers have with our children makes a huge impact on their development.
When & Who
What we Provide
This project is a cultural experience as you will be living with a family near the school and have the opportunity to experience the Khmer lifestyle. There are no placement fees to volunteer but there would be a cost of $13 per day for accomodation at a homestay and three Khmer meals a day. Alternatively you can stay in one of the many guesthouses in Battambang.

We found in KNGO a very well-structured organisation, where every volunteer can share his best talent with the students.
Students were adorable and we could create a lovely bond with them very easily.
We left KNGO thinking that we have received far more than what we gave..
Volunteering for KNGO is a gift for the students who can learn a lot from this exchange but is especially gainful for yourself as you will return home far more enriched.
We hope to go back soon!
We highly recommend KNGO to everyone who is looking for an experience of teaching, volunteering, getting in touch with a different, wonderful culture and marvelous people." - on 08/09/2017
Although the homestay option wasn't available when we were there, it was easy to find a guesthouse in nearby Battambung for our stay (bonus was that they had bikes for rent we could use to ride to KNGO). This was another special part of the experience, as we got to explore the city, meet local people, and try some delicious food.
If you're looking to volunteer, or even if you're just looking to travel, you should definitely go to KNGO for a rewarding and culturally-enriching experience! -Andrea & Robert Weiss" - on 12/11/2017

Mission

I stayed at the homestay and ate with Saveth and his family every day. I loved this and it gave me an opportunity to learn about Saveth and his family and the village.
I definitely want to come back to KNGO and volunteer again. I miss everyone everyday." - on 22/01/2018
