VISITORS

We welcome visitors to Kampuchea House and are more than happy to show you our achievements to date. However please be aware that, although our office and one house are located in Siem Reap, the main orphanage is located approximately a half hour drive by car from the office.  (Hiring a car and driver costs approximately US$35 for a round trip and covers the driver waiting at the orphanage for around 2-3 hours. We can recommend a driver – please contact us for his details).

Prior to leaving for Cambodia we strongly suggest you contact Belinda Lightfoot (our Secretary) at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with details of the dates you wish to visit and the number of visitors, whether you require transport to the orphanage etc.  She will coordinate with our local office staff and endeavour to make the arrangements that suit you.  Please note that our staff have duties which need to be attended to in the office and other commitments which impact on their availability to assist visitors.  The office is open Monday to Friday – not weekends.  Also please note that December, January and February are particularly busy times with many visitors coming to the orphanage.

If you are a member/supporter, or associated with any of the schools/organisations who support Kampuchea House, we are more than happy to make all the arrangements for your visit including organising transport, lunch boxes etc.

Please note the children attend school 6 days a week from Monday to Saturday with one group of children attending school in the morning and the other group in the afternoon.

In 2010 the office is closed for the following holidays, and the orphanage will also be closed for the majority of these holidays.

SKILLED VOLUNTEERS

At this stage of our development, and due to our limited resources, we are not in a position to accept volunteers without specific qualifications that meet our requirements at any particular time. If you have specific skills and qualifications to offer please contact Belinda Lightfoot (our Secretary) at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it advising the duration that you are able to volunteer and we will let you know if we have any vacancies available.

All volunteers are required to provide a police clearance and proof of travel insurance including medical evacuation in case of illness or accident.

Please note that our orphanage is located some 45 kilometres south of Siem Reap and does not have accommodation for volunteers, so you would be required to arrange and pay for your transport to and from the orphanage.  (Transport by car with a driver costs approximately US$35 for a round trip and covers the driver waiting at the orphanage for around 2-3 hours.  We can recommend a driver – please contact us for his details).
