Elma School Cambodia

The School educates around 430 students daily, teaching English, math, computer skills, moral and gender equality and Farming. We are always in need of fluent English-speaking volunteers to support our Khmer teachers in the classrooms with pronunciation and grammar. Classes run daily between 08:00 and 11:00 and again from 14:00 to 17:00. We ask each volunteer to commit to the morning, afternoon or both sessions.

Elma Health care

Elma Health Care welcomes qualified nurses who are interested in gaining experience in a third-world country. We accept Volunteers in this area for a period of 1 week to 1 month. However longer-term volunteer applications will be considered.
