Come Volunteer in a Phnom Penh Orphanage for $300USD!
TWO WEEKS WITH ROOM AND BOARD - $300
Fall in love with a group of orphans at a unique orphanage in Phnom Penh. These youngsters - age 8-15 - attend school but also study and perform the classical and folk dances of Cambodia, an artform that nearly vanished during the brutal reign of the Khmer Rouge. The regime nearly wiped out all trace of the traditional arts in Cambodia, dance in particular. One survivor (see her story), is now the director of this orphanage. The resident children give public performances weekly, thus learning a skill and helping the revival of the arts in Cambodia. Volunteers are primarily needed to interact with the kids and teach them English, but knowledge and appreciation of dance are a big plus.
As an ELI Abroad volunteer, you'll live in a guest house centrally located in an area of Phnom Penh popular with backpackers and budget travelers. When you're not working, you can explore this lively city, relax in its many cafes and restaurants. On weekends, ELI Abroad's coordinators can help you arrange trips to visit the famed Angkor Wat, Cambodia's stunning ancient temple complex; boat rides up the Mekong River; jungle and beach excursions - and lots more. Past volunteers raved about their Cambodian experience!

I don't know if "fall in love with a group of orphans" is the best way to phrase that, given Cambodia's history of people who have been involved in orphanages here over the years, cough, David Fletcher, cough.
And these bastards pick you up at the airport to make you feel welcome, then don't help you get back the airport when you leave. What's up with that?

Re: Come Volunteer in a Phnom Penh Orphanage for $300USD!
These "pay to volunteer" plans make me angrier a time goes by - what an absolute scam.
I recently discovered the "Don't create more orphans" campaign on the back of tuktuks, sponsored in part by UNICEF, USAID, and others:

Makes sense to me. Even as a church missions director I couldn't support child sponsorship programs.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
