Review

I went volunteering in Cambodia with IVHQ for 3 weeks and it was truly an amazing experience. I felt safe throughout the whole journey, since we always had support from the local team and IVHQ made the whole process simple and easy, so I would definitely recommend it!
My experience was in Siem Reap, which is a city that I loved and that has a lot you can visit and do, without having the chaos of the capital city, Phnom Pehn. The locals also make you feel safe, welcome and specially respected.
The volunteering house that I was in was great, the family that lived there gave me the freedom to do whatever you wanted without any curfew and the food there was really good!
The volunteering project itself, teaching English to children, was also fun and according to my expectations.
Overall, it is an experience that will allow you to grow massively and become more independent, as well as being in contact with a completely different culture.
To conclude, I have one recommendation which is try to get in touch with other volunteers before going, because in my case I was alone for a week and it is better, for me at least, to be in contact with other volunteers while you are having this experience.

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
