About Us

Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Hello! We are a team of volunteers for the University of Leeds. This summer we'll be embarking on a project in Tonle Bati, Cambodia, spending two months in rural Cambodia, volunteering at the Seametrey Bilingual and Residential School, the first of its kind in Cambodia. The trip is the first international volunteering project the University has carried out. We'll be using this blog to follow the trials and tribulations of the coming months, and to give you a taste of our Cambodian experience. If you want to volunteer with the University, visit the new volunteering hub at http://volunteering.leeds.ac.uk, We'd also like to thank all of our supporters; we'd encourage you to take a moment to give them a look by clicking on their logos to the right of this page. Thank you to Santander Universities, TD Travel Group, the University of Leeds and Leeds for Life, who has all offered valuable financial and professional support to this fantastic project. The views expressed in this blog post are not necessarily that of the University of Leeds or the project's supporters, they are the views of the Leeds-Cambodia team.

Aaaaaannnnddd they're off!

The team safely through check-in and security awaiting their flight to Phnom Penh!

Safely through security, and now just 23 hours worth of flights, 2 stop-offs, and tuk-tuk ride away from arriving at their destination! Thanks to TD Travel Group for helping us plan the journey and for kindly waiving the administration fees in the name of a good cause, and thanks to all the volunteers' parents for shepherding them to London Heathrow!

Our volunteers will arrive late on Monday night (about 2am our time), where Sophie will greet them at the airport, from there the project begins, and the impressive array of in-flight entertainment ends.
