As a volunteer you will have a truly rewarding experience in working closely and personally with impoverished children, youth and their families who need care, love and support.

We welcome people of all ages and backgrounds whether individuals, families or groups. No formal qualifications are necessary. If you are enthusiastic, have a flexible attitude and are humanitarian by nature, we would love to have you volunteer with us in either of the following programs.

Volunteer periods can be from a few days to 1 month, with most volunteers staying for an average of 2 weeks. There are no specific start dates and we welcome volunteers year round. Longer term volunteer periods are on application and need basis only.

Depending on our current volunteer needs, we welcome volunteers to assist in the following areas at Feeding Dreams:

Feeding Dreams educates over 800 students of all ages daily from very poor backgrounds. If you speak fluent English, you can contribute significantly in our classrooms. You will support a great local Khmer teacher who will guide you into assisting and becoming involved with the students and children. Creativity and interaction is encouraged.  You do not need to have teaching experience.

You may select which age group of children you would prefer to work with such as –

– Kindy-age kids in Aunty Mel’s Kindergarten

– Pre-schoolers

– 8 to 12 year olds or teenagers.

Volunteers will help older children and teenagers with teaching simple English, basic Maths, reading stories and games.  Also you can help our cooks distribute over 600 meals daily to our students.

FDC works with our student’s families who are living in poverty in urban slums. They may be illiterate, suffering sickness, disability or exploitation and with our support, guidance and assistance, we can work towards restoring their hope and dignity.

As a volunteer, you can support our Community Staff by accompanying them when interviewing, assessing and photographing new families or individuals, who are in critical situations. This would then involve computer work in preparing and editing profiles of those in need of ongoing support as well as preparing reports to sponsors on the invaluable outcomes from their sponsorship given.

Each year, the Dreams Training Center provides 60 youths who have had minimal education with 12 months of intensive vocational training at our custom built, hospitality facility.   Focusing on one of the following 4 departments: Cooking, House-Keeping, Front-office or Food and Beverage Services, each trainee learns highly demanded technical skills along with vital life skills including financial literacy, information technology, negotiation and leadership skills.

If you speak fluent English, you can volunteer to help in the English conversation classes (usually in the afternoons) to support our young hospitality students who are looking to be Front Office staff or Hotel Receptionists.

FDC has a first aid room to attend to student’s minor injuries while at school.  Our full-time First Aid Officer also attends to children who are ill and determines if further medical assistance is required.  Volunteers who have a medical background or are studying in the medical field are most welcomed.

We kindly require a one off Compulsory Donation of US$450. This fee helps us to continue to provide our lifesaving programs to poor families, as well as provide staff to look after you prior to and during your stay.

You will receive:

• – Online support and advice prior to your arrival
• – Booking and confirmation of your preferred accommodation **
• – Free Transfer from the airport upon arrival to your accommodation
• – Free Orientation tour of Siem Reap town and handy tips on services and restaurants
