CAMBODIA / Kaya Responsible Travel
If you have skills in sewing or fashion design, volunteer with Kaya Responsible Travel in Siem Reap, Cambodia and pass on your talents to many men and women from impoverished backgrounds.
Siem Reap is the biggest tourist destination in Cambodia, thanks to the spectacular Angkor Wat temple complex. However locals residing in the suburbs of the city struggle to find employment and are unable to benefit from the booming tourism industry.
As a volunteer, you will devise your own workshops and programs to give students the opportunity to learn to sew so that not only can they can repair their families clothes, they can learn how to produce simple items such as button-down shirts and skirts in order to earn an income.
Some NGO’s produce fair trade products, such as clothing, handbags, jewellery and home accessories, which are sold to tourists around town. Students are always in need of new ideas and designs and you can be the inspiration they need to produce unique items to sell.
Despite the hoards of tourists, it’s still easy to get a feel for everyday Cambodian life. Use your bicycle and explore the back streets or the river side on your days off, or alternatively head to a barrai (lake) and hang out with the locals. During the evenings you can explore one of the many night markets to pick up a bargain or simply sit in one of the bars or cafes and people watch.
Volunteer for 8 weeks to 1 year, at a starting price of £1375 for 8 weeks. The project welcomes volunteers all year round, except April and December. Included in the price you will find a room in the volunteer house, food, airport pick-up and drop-off, 4-day orientation, a bicycle for your personal use, wifi, and trips to local sites.
