This project is a volunteer program that teaches English to monks living in Cambodian temples.The organization running the project is the only Buddhist temple in Phnom Penh that offers English classes. People from around the world visit Cambodia to experience its Buddhist temples and culture.
We started English lessons for the monks to facilitate smooth communication and cultural exchange with travelers.
This is a special volunteer project where participants teach English to monks at a Buddhist temple and live with monks who spend their days in training, allowing them to experience monastic life.Through this project, you can closely experience the life of monks who train in a tranquil setting.

The temple where this project is being carried out was built in the 1980s and is home to approximately 40 monks.Novice monks and monks of various ages live at the temple. We began providing English education to the monks because, with the breakdown of the country's leadership and educated classes, we believe education is the most important factor for national development and growth.
In addition to the monks, we provide free education to neighboring residents and Cambodian children to improve English skills and knowledge in various fields. We are also an organization working to raise awareness among Cambodians about the importance and necessity of education.
Participants will live in the volunteer accommodation together with volunteers of various nationalities.
The accommodation is located about a 5-minute walk from Phnom Penh's famous Russian Market.
The accommodation building has a restaurant and relaxation spaces where you can interact with other volunteers.
You can spend your free time there. The accommodation's restaurant provides breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Fans are provided in the accommodation by default, and air conditioning can be requested as an additional option.

#Small tip about transportation in Cambodia
Region:Cambodia, Phnom Penh
The official name of Cambodia is the Kingdom of Cambodia, and it borders Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand in southeastern Indochina.
Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, is the economic and political center where the painful past of French colonial rule coexists with modern development. The city is full of attractions such as the National Museum, the Royal Palace, the Prime Minister's residence, and the Independence Monument. However, rapid economic development has widened the gap between rich and poor, and you can also see Cambodians living in hardship.
Cambodia is also a Buddhist country; the majority of the population practices Buddhism and lives according to its teachings. If you walk around the city, you will often see monks wearing monastic robes. ThereforeCultural activities are centered around temples, and many travelers visit to see the temples and Buddhist culture.
