Re: First time in Cambodia
That is a lot of information you are providing here. Which city? What budget? Which NGO? Contrary to what you may think, serious NGO's are not exactly waiting for a clueless foreigner to do jobs a local could do. And many NGO's charge their volunteers.

I have a budget of 250 euros per week. I'm sure they need a English/Dutch speaking foreigner to help in the many NGOs.

Re: First time in Cambodia
Why would they need someone who speaks Dutch?
Do you have any qualifications or do you think the NGOs want your help just because you're a westerner?

unless u have some special skills, better stay where you are until u get some, speaking english ( an dutch) is NOT ONE
Getting on with an NGO is not easy and all will require experience or special skills
