Cambodia is addictive, it's hard to leave and even harder to stay away once you've lived and worked here!

Ammi (Group 2&3)

Cambodia is becoming my second home.. I am so thankful for the opportunity to experience Cambodian life and culture while teaching at CWF.. I teach Cambodians and I work with people from different races.. a pleasant mixture of East and West..

Anna (Group 6)

CWF is a fantastic school; and it gives people who want to volunteer the perfect opportunity to learn and really become part of and experience Cambodia culture. The students are incredible, they are so respectful, friendly and very curious about foreign culture, they really are a pleasure to teach. This organization is different to many other volunteer programs as the volunteers only pay for their living expenses and not a registration or program fee. It’s fantastic to be able to help the students in terms of education but also be helping the rural communities through the joint organization CRDT. We are really taken care of here and I would definitely recommend this program to anyone interested.

Anne (Group 1)

CWF was my first job teaching English and I experienced a great and interesting time. Teaching Cambodian students gave me more insight into their culture, backgrounds and way of learning. I'll never forget that time.

Anne-Marie (Group 6)

I have had such an amazing time teaching at CWF and living in Cambodia. The staff at CWF are so welcoming and go out of their way to make your experience as rewarding and enjoyable as possible. The students are keen to learn and are a pleasure to know. I really do recommend CWF and Cambodia to anyone who wants a new, fun and fulfilling experience.

Barbara (Group 6)

Volunteering at CWF challenges you personally and makes a direct contribution to the development of Cambodia and its energetic people.

Bethany (Group 4)

I'm a university student in the US and I came to CWF and Cambodia for my Summer holiday. The students are the best part of the experience, and a close second is living in Phnom Penh. I'm so thrilled that I decided to come, it's been a wonderful experience!

Flavia (Group 2)

By teaching the Khmer students, including monks, I have been given an insight into their world and culture. The staff at CWF are also interesting people/ friends from around the world which helps make this a memorable and exciting experience.

Jai (Group 6)

Teaching at Conversations With Foreigners is a rich and rewarding experience and I advise it to anybody. You’ll make real connections with your students and be given the opportunity to encounter this culture at a deeper level. The teachers here are supported on a personal level as required. You will share with and exchange support from those other volunteers who come from all over the planet. Volunteering here is a good thing to do.

Jessica (Group 4)

The students at CWF were wonderful - smart, enthusiastic and attentive. I've really enjoyed my experience here and will miss the school when I return home.

Judith (Group 4)

CWF is a committed and genuine organisation established and run by a group of dynamic people, Khmer and foreigners. Some of the most friendly, helpful and honest people you will find. The school has a welcoming positive energy and the students are everyday working Cambodians working hard to improve their quality of life. What a privilege to be part of this journey. I will never forget it. Anyone who would like to have a volunteer experience could not go wrong with this amazing project.

Julian (Group 6)

Teaching at CWF was an incredibly rewarding experience. The Cambodian students are so eager to learn and the CWF staff are more than accommodating. My time volunteering at CWF allowed me to not only develop my teaching and creativity skills but also allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the Cambodian culture and heritage. I would recommend CWF to my closest friends.

Karine (Group 4)

My experience with CWF was really rich with smiles, emotions and friendships. The staff at the school were incredible and very supportive. Teaching Cambodians and learning more about their culture was very interesting for me. Also, teaching with CWF gives you a fabulous opportunity to get some teaching experience and to be creative with your lessons. I loved living in the house and getting to know teachers from all around the world. Cambodia, to me, was just amazing!!!

Kate (Group 2)

Working at CWF has been the highlight of my travels in South East Asia. It was an amazing opportunity to learn about the culture, lifestyle and language of the Cambodian people and the conversational classes were simple and fun to teach even with no prior experience.

Katie (Group 3&4)

Teaching for CWF has truly been a great experience. Visiting the CRDT projects makes you realise that CWF is really contributing to the communities of Cambodia, not only through education but for rural development as well.

Mark (Group 3)

I came to Cambodia in 2006 for just a few weeks and I knew I had to return as soon as I could. Teaching at CWF has really been the best way to do that. The best thing has been getting to know my students and realising our differences and similarities (many of both). I don't think there is a better feeling than learning from each other. If I could stay for another term I absolutely would. I am certainly not looking forward to leaving this truly remarkable place.

Michael (Group 4)

I never thought I would enjoy a teaching job but the students I have at CWF inspire me everyday. I am amazed how eager they are to learn English. I guess they have embraced the fact that it is a universal language where if you know it, you can go anywhere and achieve anything you want to!

Michelle (Group 4)

Teaching at CWF has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Meeting, working with and teaching Cambodian people has been a pleasure. I could not recommend this organisation or project more highly.

Natalie (Group 2)

Working and living in Cambodia for only a short time was an amazing experience, one that will stay in my heart forever. Wishing all at CWF the very best for the future.

Nathaniel (Group 6)

Teaching at CWF is a wonderful experience. The volunteers are fully supported, and teaching dedicated Khmer students is very rewarding.

Neal (Group 4)

This project is brilliant. It is a genuine opportunity to volunteer your time and energy whatever your experience of teaching is. You support Cambodians on a daily basis, who are working hard to improve the quality of their English. Your efforts raise money which goes directly towards preserving Cambodia's culture and natural resources. The feeling of doing something so worthwhile and promoting sustainable development within Cambodia was priceless.

Parsoua (Group 6)

It has been a blessing for me to be a part of CWF. I have been taken away by the staffs friendliness, humble attitude and hospitality. The student’s strong desire to learn is also a great motivation. I value everyday I spend in Cambodia, its charm, hospitality and rich culture add so much to the experience and CWF’s staff make sure we are involved with social events and that you are comfortable and healthy.

Robin (Group 2)

I like to teach at CWF as it serves a very noble cause. I think it is a great initiation to teaching. The class sizes are small and certainly less threatening to the uninitiated.

Tim (Group 6)

Teaching at CWF is a great experience. Working with students across a variety of ages and life experiences gives the teacher a real insight into life in Cambodia. Seeing the students’ conversation skills develop over the course of the semester gives you a real buzz. The local staff at CWF provide a fantastic support and really help you transition into living in Phnom Penh. I’d recommend this experience to anyone!!!

Verity (group 6)

My name is Verity, I am 25 and from the UK. Teaching English as a volunteer at CWF is fun and rewarding experience. I have really enjoyed my time in Phnom Penh both teaching at the school and socially. Cambodia is an amazing country so I am very pleased that I chose to volunteer here. If you are thinking about volunteering at CWF you should definitely do it. I can’t recommend it enough.

Zeny (Group 2&3)

I find that Cambodian students are eager learners of English with a high level of motivation. Teaching such highly motivated students at CWF has been a very satisfying experience for me. Likewise, I truly relish the thought that volunteer teachers at CWF are able to help raise money for the community development efforts of the Cambodian Rural Development Team (CRDT) where development matters most - among the poor Khmer families in the rural areas.
