İş Tanımı
24 September School (24SS) is located in a remote village of Kampong Speu Province, where many teenagers face limited opportunities and often turn to construction or factory work due to poverty and a lack of access to education. For many families here, survival takes priority over schooling.
Since 2014, Cambodian Youth Action (CYA) has been working closely with this community, providing English language classes and supporting the renovation of classrooms to create better learning environments. In a village where foreign visitors are rare, the presence of international volunteers brings excitement and hope—offering students a chance to learn new skills, connect with the world, and dream bigger.
By joining this program, you’ll not only help improve education but also experience meaningful cultural exchange, leaving a lasting impact on the lives of these children and their community. The project activities are:
- Teach English & Life Skills
- Renovate School Facilities & Build a Library
- Organize Cultural & Recreational Activities
