Home

Welcome to

Homestay Volunteer Teachers Organizagtion (HVTO)

HVTO is a non-profit NGO. We develop and manage literacy and vocational education projects aimed to help the poorest and neediest Cambodian communities improve their quality of life and to enable self-sustainability. Reducing poverty and increasing wisdom is the aim. Education is the answer.
Our development projects simultaneously create job opportunities for local people.

Philosophy

To see that every Cambodian child has the right to an education. We are especially keen to give children access to English training courses as we believe that this will give them better future job prospects and aid the development of Cambodia.

We believe that the greatest help we can give to young people in Cambodian communities is education. We believe that education will empower people and create conditions for sustainable development. We also believe that actual contact with the everyday life of another country or communities and personal bonds between people is the best way to encourage international understanding.

Thanks

Special thanks to all our donors and volunteers for making all this highly needed work possible. Please continue to visit our website where we have information, photos and most importantly, easy ways for you to join our team. Please email us with any questions or suggestions for improvement

WHAT DO WE DO?

1. Clean Water Project

2. Free English Education Programs


3. Sponsorship Programs


4. Homestay Volunteer Programs

Clean Water Project

The large majority of Cambodian people live in rural areas. The villagers lack bare necessities, especially clean drinking water. Poor drinking Water and sanitation are the main causes of high rates of infant mortality. Having access
to clean water and an understanding of hygiene is crucial to helping people to improve living conditions.


The installation of hand water pumps and water filters is vital in order to help reduce disease. It costs $175 for one water pump, although this price is discounted if many water pumps are ordered together, and water filters are available from $3 to $45, depending on the quality.


HVTO is appealing to all charitable people who can help to provide a clean water pump and water filter to our Cambodian communities. HVTO can co-ordinate this and make sure the water pumps are delivered to the neediest families in the rural areas.


















Free English Education Programs

English is an international language. We use it for business, international communication, studies and tourism. It is a blessing for those who live in English speaking countries and for those who live in countries where English lessons are widely and freely available.

With the current state of world development, English skills are required by the younger generations of Cambodia for their studies and future careers. As English educational possibilities are expensive and hard to come by in Cambodia, HVTO has taken responsibility to provide free English classes to as many children in as many rural areas as possible.

Currently HVTO is providing free English classes to more than 500 children in 2 different villages. We have 4 local English teachers who are teaching these children everyday and we are always looking for volunteer teachers to come and help us with this project.














Sponsorship Programs

Most of the children in Sophy and Sreth villages stop going to school around the age of 16. The reason for that is poverty. Many of the children are intelligent and hard-working.

Their parents generally want them to go to school, but unfortunately they can not afford the money for transport, school materials and private tuition. These children do not have the opportunity to finish high school, although graduation from high school provides an important qualification which is necessary for good careers in Cambodia.

To help the best selected students finish high school, HVTO is looking for financial sponsors around the world who can provide a monthly donation for a few years. HVTO monitors the students and facilitates the communication between the sponsors and the sponsored students.




































Homestay Volunteer

While volunteering for HVTO, the volunteer will participate in a homestay in the village. The homestay allows visitors to experience, up close and personal, the local way of life in rural communities in various parts of Cambodia. Families warmly welcome guests into their homes and are delighted to be able to share and exchange knowledge and offer insight into Khmer culture and traditions.Homestay

The program is new to Cambodia but it has been enthusiastically received by both travelers and villagers. Participation in a homestay program is generally a village initiative. Up to a dozen homes within each rural community offer to host both foreign and Khmer guests.

Visitors are free to decide how they wish to spend their time. They are able to relax in a hammock, go into the fields to plant and harvest, herd the cows to pasture, ride an ox-card, or toss a net for fish.

For the visitor, a homestay is often the highlight of a trip. There are few experiences to rival a tranquil night’s sleep. There is nothing quite like being nudged from sleep at dawn by the sounds of a village’s myriad inhabitants greeting the day.

Angkor Homestay

While volunteering for HVTO, the volunteer will participate in a homestay in the village. However it is possible to take part in the homestay without volunteering. A side-project named Angkor Homestay has been formed to allow people to stay with a family purely to experience rural Cambodian life. Homestays (without volunteering) provide villagers with an opportunity to earn income that is usually spent in the more sophisticated travel industry. It also enables them to meet outsiders they often see only from a distance and to experience a wider world through sharing their lives with others.

The profits from Angkor Homestay are used to fund the humanitarian efforts of HVTO.



















VOLUNTEER WITH HVTO?

Homestay Volunteer Teachers Organization is currently looking for volunteer English teachers for projects in Cambodia. Volunteers on our projects participate in a homestay, and live with a Cambodian family. We work in the countryside 25km from Siem Reap town . We are currently looking for volunteers for this project. You do not need a TEFL qualification to volunteer for HVTO, although it would of course be useful if you have this qualification.

Nature of Volunteering




Volunteering abroad is one way to make a worthwhile contribution to another country while simultaneously broadening your life experiences.

Many people are content to spend their time abroad lying on a beach or sitting in bars. If you are looking for a more substantial experience, then volunteering provides you with a purpose and gives you the chance to explore places off the beaten track, allowing you to live among the community you are helping.

Volunteer work with HVTO is designed to help on a grass roots level. It is important that you are aware of this prior to signing up to volunteer with us. If you set out to change the world then you are sure to end up disappointed instead it is better to set goals for yourself, push your personal boundaries and try to open yourself up to the challenges of working in foreign country.

When volunteering abroad you may expect to change the country you are working in however it is much more likely that the country will change you. You are sure to learn a great deal about yourself and will do things that you never imagined you were capable of. At the end of the program you will most likely notice a change in the way you perceive things and the way you encounter situations. The change that volunteering abroad has on you is likely to be far greater than the change you have on the country you are volunteering in. However, what you will have done is lent a helping hand to projects that would never normally get foreign assistance as well as developing a greater understanding of another culture.

Some of the bonuses you will get when volunteering with HVTO are:

A Flexible Schedule
Unlike paid employment, volunteering with HVTO provides a more flexible schedule and you can vary your level of commitment. You may choose to participate in for one school in one village from one week to 6 months to stay to teach in our different schools. It is also possible to vary how much you work during the day.

Improvement to your Resume
Many employers understand the value of an individual who has devoted time to volunteering. If you have volunteer experience on your resume it shows that you are flexible, patient and committed. If you can tailor your volunteer placement to the area of your personal expertise then you will also get hands on experience.

Immersion into a New Culture
While volunteering for HVTO you will have the opportunity to learn about Cambodian culture firsthand - by living with a Cambodian family. This means that you can experience the food, farming, social customs, music, religious practices and many other aspects of Cambodian life while volunteering for HVTO.

An Affordable Travel Adventure
There are few travel experiences that are cheaper than volunteering abroad. At HVTO our fees cover your accommodation and food/ board, orientation, and the program itself. Some volunteers choose to get help with covering their expenses by fundraising. We can provide you with fundraising ideas if you request this from us.

What volunteering involves?

Volunteering is not for everybody. It requires a great deal of patience, flexibility and sensitivity to other cultures. Those who are self-motivated, enthusiastic and have a genuine interest in the host people and their culture will get the most our of time spent volunteering to help and get the experience to our culture for yourself. Before you sign up you should consider the following:

Can you live without modern plumbing, hot water and other western comforts?

All of our volunteer placements are in untouristed villages. There is no hot water in the villages and the plumbing will most likely be different to what you are used to. All of this information will be made available to you if you decide to come.

Are you open enough to accept and respect a culture no matter how different it is from your own cultural upbringing?

There will be aspects of the local culture that leave you bewildered. They can defy everything that seems logical to you and may challenge your senses of right and wrong. If this occurs then you have to remember that you are the visitor. No solitary volunteer can change centuries of tradition or culture. You must determine whether you are versatile enough to respect the local culture before you go.
Are you comfortable with yourself?

It is possible that at points during your stay you will feel isolated, particularly when you first arrive at the village. It is worth remembering that the homestay family may also have different beliefs to you. Some people choose to volunteer because they are dissatisfied with the state of their life at home. This is the wrong reason to volunteer abroad. If you have problems at home i.e. your partner, your job, your studies, don't expect those problems to disappear once you are out of your home country. Chances are that those problems will follow you and that they will be more readily apparent with the additional cultural and adjustment issues.
Are you keen to learn?

Volunteering for HVTO is a learning experience. Every minute of everyday you will be a student. You may learn a new language, a new culture, a new way of life. Your two greatest allies during your volunteer placement will be flexibility and patience. Developing countries are not as concerned with time as the West. Schedules can be ignored, appointments begin later than arranged or you may be unexpectedly asked to attend an important function an hour before it begins. When volunteering you have to accept that your itinerary might be subject to change and that these changes may make things seem disorganized at times. The only way to deal with that situation is to remain calm and try to remember your hosts will be working hard to resolve the situation and help improve the community.

Placement info:

We will return detailed Placement Information and availability to you after we receive your application.
Communication:

Once you have made your travel arrangements you should let us know your time of arrival and the means of transportation and we will confirm your pickup. We will then make arrangements for a representative to meet you.
Getting Here

HVTO will advise and support you with all your travel arrangements. Our first reception in Siem Reap will provide you with some information and tips that can be useful when looking for transportation to and within Cambodia.

Food
Volunteers will get three meals a day from the host family. But don’t expect to get western food - only typical Cambodian food like amok and kakor.

Volunteer Work
You will both assist the Khmer Teachers and lead your class from 4 to 7 hours per day. Lessons are typically taught from Monday to Saturday, but there is flexibility in how many days and hours you work in a week. Weekends are generally spent by volunteers in Siem Reap town, allowing them to experience urban Cambodia and go sightseeing. (Accommodation and sightseeing in Siem Reap are not paid for by HVTO.)

Certification

The REALITY of Voluntary Work in Cambodia

• REALITY 1: The climate can be unbearably HOT and HUMID, and extreme weather can ruin our plans
• REALITY 2: There are lots of BIG INSECTS, some very dangerous, and they find volunteers very tasty
• REALITY 3: A road rarely is made fro much more than dirt. Journeys are SLOW & VERY BUMPY
• REALITY 4: People and materials are usually LATE: plans rarely run on time
• REALITY 5: HEALTH & SAFETY policies in public services are virtually non-existent
• REALITY 6: The CULTURE and LANGUAGE is alien to what you are used to in the West
• REALITY 7: You will come face to face with POVERTY every day
• REALITY 8: There are MANY public holidays which can easily ruin even the best planned week of work

To enjoy working in a developing country, we believe you need to be:

• OPEN-MINDED about other ways of doing things
• PATIENT & TOLERANT when things do not go according to plan
• ENTHUSIASTIC about your work
• Full of INITATIVE so you can make the best out of a bad situation

If you think you can cope with the realities of work in a developing country, and that you are open-minded, patient, enthusiastic and full of initiative, then we urge you to volunteer with us. If not, please look elsewhere – HVTO is not for you.

Cambodian Public Holidays

Cambodia has many Public Holidays, and it is often not possible for us to run our programs at these times. The flip-side of the coin is that there are some pretty good festivals and events on these days, but it can get pretty irritating if you book for a 2 week placement and there is a three-day public holiday in the meddle of the week preventing you from volunteering! And more often than not, a one day holiday gets extended over several days, making it very difficult for us t plan ahead. So make sure you have a look at the dates below so that you can plan your placement appropriately.
2009
• 1 Jan New Year’s Day.
• 7 Jan Victory Day.
• Feb* Meak Bochea Day.
• 8 Mar Women’s Day
• Apr* Cambodian New Year.
• 1 May Labour Day.
• May* Visaka Buja Day (Birth of Buddha).
• May* Royal Ploughing Day Ceremony.
• 13-15 May King Sihamoni’s Birthday.• 1 Jun International children’s Day.
• 18 Jun Former Queen’s Birthday.
• 24 Sep Constitution and Coronation Day.
• Sep/Oct* Pchum Ben Day.
• 23 Oct Paris Peace Agreement.
• 31 Oct Former King Sihanouk’s Birthday.
• Nov* Water Festival.
• 9 Nov Independence Day.
• 10 Dec Human Rights Day.
* Date to be confirmed.
Note – The religious festivals are determined by the Buddhist lunar calendar and are therefore variable. Public holidays falling on a Saturday or Sunday are carried forward to the following working day.

So if you have understood what was explained here and you want to volunteer for HVTO, please fill in the
application form.

We are looking forward to warmly welcoming you to our village!

Volunteer Fee


We ask volunteers to pay a minimum of $10 a day to cover the costs of their meals, water, accommodation and laundry. (This fee is subject to change, but you will be informed of any change in price if you have already applied to volunteer.) This money goes to the host family. So as an example, if you volunteer for 4 weeks, and you stay in the village for 5 nights a week, that would cost you $200.

In addition to the $10 accommodation fee we ask if you could make a donation to the school. The amount of that donation is up to you, but we pay for a Khmer teacher of English of $50 - $100 per month, and security for the volunteers $50, and etc (meaning a total cost of $450 monthly). At the moment we have four local teachers to take care of. We understand that some people have money to spare, whereas other people have more time. So please give what you can.

We charge less than almost all other agencies and NGOs. This is because our ambition is to make our programs available to many. We have no western wages or other costs and we are not out to make a profit.

What you receive
24 hours support
Three meals per day
Bottled water
Laundry
Accommodation with host family
Why do we ask for a donation in addition to your volunteering work?

Our ongoing work is dependent on our ability to fund the school. Although your volunteer time is vital, the reality is that without funds we can not operate throughout the year. We don't have the resources to fundraise in more formal ways, therefore any financial donation you can make is vital if we are to make a lasting difference to these children's lives. We feel it's important to be transparent with all our fees. We run our homestay to give free education to children. We hope you understand why we need to ask volunteers for a donation of time and money.

Apart from our fees, you must pay for:

Your ticket to Siem Reap Airport and private transfer to Siem Reap city and to the village
Travel and health insurance
Other personal expenses

Testimonials from all our previous volunteers

I volunteered for HVTO for 2 months. I did a variety of jobs for HVTO: working on the website; (lots of) English teaching, alongside a Khmer teacher and alone; and designing and promoting a newly opened shop in a market. All in all I had a wonderful experience with HVTO. The people in the village were incredibly warm and welcoming towards me. My homestay house was nice and clean, and the family were helpful. It was very interesting to be able to experience genuine Cambodian culture - from which I learnt a lot. The countryside surrounding the village was beautiful and it was nice to go for bike rides through the rice fields. My favourite thing about the village was probably the children's reaction towards me. They were always sweet and smiling, and coming up to me at the end of lessons to hold my hand and hi-5 me. The people in Siem Reap city were also generally nice to me, and I often got remarks such as "thank you for helping Cambodia" when I told them I was a volunteer. I think I grew in a big way due to the responsibility I was given while I worked for HVTO. I was entrusted to do a lot of things on my own (such as plan and teach a 4 week adult teaching course alone, with no previous teaching experience.) I gained a lot of confidence from being able to pull this off! I also appreciated the respect Sim Pisith gave my thoughts even though I am younger than him. He listened to my ideas and took them seriously. Overall I learnt a lot from my experience, and I felt loved while I was in Cambodia - the people were gentle and kind towards me.

Comments on HVTO Free English classes provided me a precious experience; I realized the principle that guides my life: people who have a college education should serve people who cannot go to universities. I had understood the surface meaning of it, but it had not really hit me because in Japan most of people can enter a university. However, people in the village where I stayed cannot go there even they are really smart and hope to go there because of economical reason. Under the situation, Mr Sim Pisith is exactly putting the principle into practice. That is, he has served the children and villagers. Local English teachers also impressed me so much because they keep up both teaching English and schoolwork or farming. However hard the work might be, they would not complain. Additionally, I was astonished at monks’ will to live even they are orphans. (A new project which is to teach English to monks who are like orphans began during my stay.) Generally speaking, children who are under a hard situation tend to take to misconduct; however, they have a strong desire to learn English and a genuine smile. Finally, I received a warm welcome from the villagers and children, especially the host family, so I deeply appreciate their kindness. Thanks very much. I am sure that next volunteers applause the HVTO with one voice. Date Written: 12 July 2009Testimonial By: Sho YoshinariNo
Angkor home stay and volunteer English teaching was a positive experience for me. My chief pleasure was the students’ enthusiasm for learning English. There is only a single light in the classroom, but at night, their energy lit up the room. I brought a Frisbee from home, and it proved endless entertainment during breaks between classes. I’ll say as warning if you come, and don’t look Khmer, expect to get stared at as if you were an alien by people outside the Meng family. But that’s all part of the adventure. There’s police protection for visitors ,but I thought it was unnecessary. I felt very safe and cared for at the Mengs’. It was neat to eat their wonderful food (I actually gained weight) and see how they lived, if for a short time. The family and the students were a joy during my week’s stay. Thanks again!

" Soksabbay Pisith, since the first time I stayed at Phum Sophy I realized that it was a magical place to visit. The freedom that you experience and the contact with nature is a combination difficult to express in words. Also, having the opportunity of living with a family like yours gives a new scope of how a traveller can experience and learn from the Khmer way of life. Orkun Charern Pisith for your attention and Somnanglao from Lok Sak Weing!"

Dear Pisith, I would like to thank you once again for the wonderful time which you did share with our group as a tourist guide when touring Vietnam and Cambodia in January this year. I would like to thank you in particular for giving me the chance to come together with people in your country and to learn more about their daily life and to get a somewhat closer look beyond typical tourist attractions. Getting clean water is a big problem for these people, and little money is needed to help many families in the years to come. I did entrust you with a small donation to set up a water pump for a comunity of 3 families. Thank you very much for the prompt directing of the money to this project. And thank you for the photo not only showing three happy families but also a big nameplate evidencing with my full name and address in Germany that I am the donor of this small project. Every cent I did entrust you was spent for this project. Thank you once again for giving me the chance to do something really good for people who do badly need our help. The family's expression of thanks makes me happy. Best regards Monika Date

From Bragi Jonsson Reykjavik, Iceland 13. Feb Extremely Positive. Words are not even enough to describe how friendly,hospitable and helpful my friend Seaknam and his falmily are. I stayed in their house 3 nights and it was a stay that I will never forget. In his house I felt like one of his family. like home away from home :) Seaknam took me with him to the schools he teaches english in and showed me around in the village and the neighbourhood. I had great meals with his family, hang out in the hamocks underneat his house and saw the daily live in the village by walking around during daytime. I would like you all to take a look at this homepage :http://www.angkorhomestay.com/ If you ever have a chance to stay there GO FOR IT . All the best to your projects my friend.

Bragi from Iceland Date Written: 12 July 2009Testimonial By: Bragi Jonssonnno





Greetings, "We found Mr. Sim Pisith to be a very informative and helpful tour guide. We especially enjoyed visiting his village and experiencing the every day life of the families there. Because of this opportunity, it was meaningful to us to be able to provide a pump for clean drinking water for some of the families there.

HVTO Founder's story


HVTO's founder's story and acknowledgement:

I was born in Sophy village in 1981 and was later made a Buddhist monk and lived in a Buddhist monastery for 8 years. Thanks to the sponsorship I received, I had the opportunity to graduate from the Buddhist Bali Upper High School and learned German, English and Spanish.

Due to all the knowledge I acquired, I could work as a tour guide and English teacher. Then I realized that local Cambodian young people are profiting from the knowledge of foreign languages by getting jobs in the tourist industry or by continuing their studies.

In the past, due to the repression carried out by the Khmer Rouge, a lot of population in Cambodia was forced to leave the cities and move to the countryside. As a result, the new generations found it very difficult to study as resources were very limited. Nowadays, the government is making great efforts to change this situation, but extra help in really needed to speed up this process.
With my experience, I thought that it should be possible to create programs promoting the education of young people and children in my village and other rural areas so that they could have a chance like me to benefit from, and keep up with current development. This is why I created HVTO in 28th August 2008.


Normally we have technical problem to receive your messages through our website email address. So should you contact me directly if you need urgent respond: I am looking forwards to welcome you warmly!
