Development for Cambodian Children (DCC) is a community-based organization dedicated to empowering local children and teenagers through education, environmental stewardship, community development, and sports.
Since 2002, DCC has been equipping over 200 students with essential English, computer, and coding skills, while fostering a commitment to sustainability through activities like trash management workshops and rainforest preservation.

Description of work:
Volunteers at the Development for Cambodian Children (DCC) project can engage in a variety of meaningful activities, including:
1. Education Support: Teaching English, basic computer skills, and coding to children and teenagers to enhance their academic and professional opportunities.
2. Environmental Activities: Organizing and participating in community cleaning campaigns, leading workshops on trash management, and assisting with recycling projects. Volunteers may also join efforts to protect rainforests and wildlife alongside the local community.
3. Community Development: Supporting emergency relief efforts, such as distributing food, building houses and toilets, or assisting with community farm projects.
4. Sports and Recreation: Leading sports and physical education sessions to help children build teamwork, discipline, and physical fitness.
These opportunities allow volunteers to make a lasting impact while connecting deeply with the local community.

Description of location and leisure:
During their free time and weekends, volunteers at DCC can enjoy exploring the unique attractions of Battambang. They can visit ancient temples like Wat Ek Phnom or Phnom Banan, offering a glimpse into Cambodia’s history, or take a ride on the famous Bamboo Train for a fun and scenic experience through the countryside. For those who love nature, cycling tours through the lush rice fields and local villages are a great way to take in the beauty of the area. After a day of exploring, volunteers can relax at local cafes, try traditional Cambodian dishes like fish amok or beef lok lak, and spend quality time with fellow volunteers. These activities provide a perfect mix of culture, adventure, and relaxation.

Description of accommodation and food:
Volunteers will be accommodated in a shared house with host family, equipped with essential amenities to ensure a comfortable stay. Each volunteer will be provided with a mattress, pillow, blanket, and mosquito net for restful sleep. The house also includes access to shower and toilet facilities for personal hygiene. Meals will be prepared by a local chef, with volunteers expected to assist with tasks such as serving, cleaning, and washing dishes. An optional opportunity is available for those who wish to join the cooking team and learn local culinary skills.
