Cambodia is a small country nestled between Vietnam to the east, Laos to the north and Thailand to the east. The Mekong river flows through Phnom Penh, the capital city whilst the Gulf of Thailand lies to the south, allowing Cambodia some of the most beautiful beaches in the region. Cambodia has a tumultuous past that is well documented yet has been safe for travellers for over a decade now. Siem Reap is a busy hub in the north west of Cambodia, towards the Thai border and has a population of a little over 100,000. There is a huge amount to do at weekends including visits to the Angkor temple park, Tonle Sap and beaches to the south.
UNIVERSITY FACULTY PROJECTS
Education

students to work as volunteers with local NGO’s, hospitals and clinics to gain valuable
knowledge and understanding of health care in a resource-poor setting.
