Cabodian visas are available on arrival to nationals of most countries. We generally advise volunteers to obtain the $25 tourist visa, valid for 1 month; This can be extended easily if required and the extension can be organised by almost any guesthouse in Cambodia.

New Futures Organisation requires volunteers to work alongside our local Khmer teachers in one of our seven rural schools in Takeo province. We teach English and Mathematics classes five days a week to young people who are otherwise unable to attend school.

Volunteers will work alongside the teacher to help improve students' command of English and numeracy, both with the whole class and working more closely with smaller groups of students. We also have a long-running program working alongside monks from a local pagoda; their level of English is generally quite high and they love to meet with volunteers from around the world to practice their English conversation skills and learn about other countries and cultures, as well as teaching volunteers a little about Cambodian Buddhism and their way of life.

Placements are available for durations of 2 weeks or longer, and start every Saturday throughout the year. The volunteering fee of $100 a week covers the cost of your transportation from Phnom Penh down to Takeo and our limited admin costs, and all profits thereafter go directly to supporting the young people we look after in the Takeo area and to improving and developing our education projects.
