What will I be doing?
You’ll be working alongside local people to build new classrooms to help improve access to education for children living in Pursat. You don’t need any building experience to take part - just enthusiasm, a willingness to work hard and the desire to make a difference!
Optional extension 1: Siem Reap
Sat 20 March - Wed 24 March
from £390 (based on a minimum of 10 participants)
Visit Siem Reap, gateway to the Angkor temples, where you will spend three days exploring the famous temples and surrounding area. Among the one thousand temples is the jaw-dropping Angkor Wat, said to be the world’s largest single religious monument. You will also visit the temple of Ta Prohm, which was used as a location in the film Tomb Raider.
When you are not exploring the temples, you will have time to enjoy the relaxed Cambodian pace of life and soak up the magic of the country.
Optional extension 2: Battambang
Sat 20 March - Wed 24 March
from £420 (based on a minimum of 10 participants)
Despite Battambang being Cambodia's second-largest city, it has much more of a small town feel and is full Cambodian charm. Climb the Wat Phnom Banan temple and reap the rewards of stunning views of the Sangker river, rolling rice fields and sugar palm trees when you reach the top. You'll also have a chance to visit Phnom Sampeau and the famous bat caves!
When you are not riding the bamboo train, there will be time to relax by the tranquil river and perhaps catch an unmissable performance by the Phare Ponleu Selpak circus.
