Itinerary
Day 1 Phnom Penh/Rural Project
Your adventure begins in the bustling capital of Phnom Penh where you'll meet your group and leader. Jump on a local style bus and head to your new rural home in Baray. Your accommodation here will most likely be in the traditional style - in bamboo buildings, raised off the ground on stilts.
Day 2 Village
Spend some time exploring the village and get to know your neighbours. See where the school is and be sure to have a look at the building site - it won't look like this for long!
Days 3-13 Teaching and Building
Over the following 2 weeks your building and teaching duties will rotate during the day and you'll also have free time to learn the local dialect, play football with the kids and get to know the adults. You'll also have time to visit nearby sights.
Day 14 Phnom Penh
Your time in Baray has come to an end. Celebrate your project work and new friendships before returning to Phnom Penh.
