    About the program

    Since 2013, the Greenway School in Samraong has been offering free English education to children aged 6 to 13 from Pul Village and nearby communities. Running alongside the public school schedule, the program serves more than 200 students and provides them with valuable skills that can open doors to future opportunities.

    Classes are held twice a day and kept small—usually between 10 and 30 students. You’ll teach using a structured English curriculum that spans from beginner level to Level 5. Lessons take place in traditional classrooms, and you’ll work closely with local teachers and fellow volunteers in a team-teaching format. With 3 to 5 educators per class, there’s plenty of room to focus on small groups or offer individual attention to students who need extra support.

    This isn’t just about teaching English—it’s about creating meaningful connections and giving children access to tools that will shape their futures.

    You need to arrive on the Sunday before your start date (each Monday) to be picked up from the airport. If you need to arrive earlier or later, additional fees will apply. Check with us before booking any flights.

    Accommodation

    You will be housed in Samraong with local home-stays, or at a guest house if home-stays are not possible. Living with a local family can be a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the culture of a country, but if you’d rather stay in a guest house, this can be arranged.

    Laundry facilities are limited, so you should expect to wash your clothes by hand during parts of your trip. All our visitors are expected to be environmentally aware and to use all resources with restraint; especially water, paper and electricity. You’ll be expected to clean up after yourself, and play your part in keeping the accommodation neat and organised.


    Private rooms are available for an additional £100(please ask for $ equivalent) per week.

    Food & Beverages

    All your meals are included during your stay; they’ll be traditional Cambodian food, including plenty of rice dishes. If you have any specific dietary requirements, please let us know before you arrive, and we’ll ensure there is plenty for you to eat.
