About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

KHMER SMILE SCHOOL is a non-government school, which was founded by a young Cambodian university student, who had been taking English language. The school was set up due to the lack of education opportunities for the community children. The children had to pay for tuition fee at the local and international language school. Those who cannot afford paying the fee cannot send their children to learn language and they find it difficult to pursue higher education effectively due to language ignorance. Since KHMER SMILE SCHOOL was created, there have been a lot of young children attending the classes and gained a lot of confidence in speaking with international people. KHMER SMILE SCHOOL also provides a lot of opportunities for village children to see how to look at themselves in comparison to people from other parts of the world. This chance of seeing is an inspirational moment, which enables kids to have both external and internal motivation for their future expectation.

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteer is going to help teaching English to the kids who come to learn the language every morning, afternoon, and evening – which volunteer can choose which time they can teach. There are different classes in every one-hour. The classes take place only from Monday to Friday. Apart from teaching, volunteer can also entertain the kids with some outdoor games or activities, which involve educational concepts. Also, the management role for the school needs people to help take responsibilities in the roles of maintaining the school curriculum, following up with teaching effectiveness and the quality of the learning from the students. Therefore, volunteer will work directly with Solyda, school founder, in checking and evaluation the activities. As Khmer Smile is the school where all teachers are volunteers and teach students for free; hence, there are plenty of maintaining activities needed to be assisted

🏠 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.
