Volunteer Opportunities in Cambodia
This tip was originally a response to a Cambodia forum question by anywhere24 about opportunities for volunteering without having to pay someone to do so... I just got back from Cambodia. I did some volunteer work with Phymean Noun's People Improvement Organization (PIO) which provides schools for children at the Phnom Penh dump and a couple of slum areas. You may want to check out my Phnom Penh tips and travelogues for some details. While I was staying downtown, I also found the Veiyo Tonle Restaurant which supports the New Cambodia Children's Life Association (NCCLA) orphange. Feel free to e-mail me if you have specific questions. BTW, I totally agree with you about not paying to do volunteer work. It makes much more sense to spend that money on the kids and their families (e.g. you can sponsor a whole family through PIO for $50/month and that includes their food). Helping teachers...
