📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Community Learning Center is a new project of CYA that is started in January 2014. This project aims at providing opportunity for children, local youth and local people chances to learn languages, computer, and to have access to global education/information through internet and our library and to have their first chance to meet and interact with different people from different cultures and backgrounds from around the world. As it is a new project and will be freshly started by the early January 2015 so most of the activities in this first year will be construction but there are varieties of activities will be included in this project. So far, there have been more than 200 community children registered for the English classes at CLC but unfortunately, due to lacking of teaching staff, and volunteers all the children have not been able to take regular lessons. In occasions of having volunteer groups coming, the lesson can be taking place. As CLC provides education for children for free of charge, its really needs motivated individuals to take part in the project.
Ruseydom Village, where Community Learning Center is located, consists of around 600 families and the education situation is still not the first priority for their children. In a long run, CYA would like to see this center become a place where children, young people/youth and local people can freely access to languages courses, computer classes, library, art and music classes, and vocational training skills.
The families live together in the same house, and volunteers have opportunities to communicate with the children and the local everyday. They are mostly farmers, and they grow their own vegetables on the garden, and sell in the village.
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteer is going to help CLC in Teaching English language, reading activities in the library, teaching copmuter to community children who come to have the class just only one hour a day. Apart from teaching, volunteer is going to help in organizing activities including manual work like building toilets, mending classroom facility, and even joining children’s family doing the farming in the surrounding areas. Volunteer will also help organize activities for groups of volunteers who are scheduled to work at the center. There will be several groups of bilateral and international volunteers who come to work in between for the whole year, therefore, the LMTV volunteer is going to take responsibilities in leading and organizing the project
🏠 Accommodation on site
LMTV volunteers will stay with their host family where the basic living materials are provided such pillows, blanket, mattress, and water. People are living very simple they do not have air-conditioner, hot shower, and Internet access at home. The food will be provided be the host family with a very Cambodia traditional way. We normally have 3 meals per day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you are allergies or have any special food problems please let us know in advance so we can find the way to help but don’t expect something very good from our host family. We will try our best though.
