Volunteer Information
There are always ways in which volunteers can contribute to our work. The activities of our previous volunteers included teaching English, helping in the office, designing a new website, organizing activities for the kids and sharing tailoring/embroidery skills at the sewing school to name just a few.
The advantages of volunteering at LHA include: an opportunity to contribute to community development and learn about Buddhist culture, young and friendly staff, openness to new initiatives and approaches, central location and proximity to Angkor Wat temples, safe and peaceful environment, cheap living, and no participation fee to pay!
