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.

1. So, what made you apply for the Cambodia trip?

When reading about the project all aspects of it appealed to me, I've been wanting to do something like this for so long, this was the perfect opportunity for me to do it. I love experiencing new cultures and seeing different parts of the world, also being able to volunteer at the school and work with the children will be a great opportunity.
 
2. Have you ever done anything like this before?
 
I've never done anything like this before which makes the Project that much more exciting!
 
3. What's the one thing you’re looking forward to the most?
 
The thing i'm looking forward to the most is being able to work with the children, seeing them learn new things and just being able to help the school.
 
4. Is there anything you're worried about? Anything you're dreading?

There isn't anything i'm dreading, the only thing im worried about is the mosquitos and being able to sleep!
 
5. What will you and your team do on a day-to-day basis?
I am part of the sports and games hub so we will be running various activities with the children doing different sports and games
 
6. Tell us a fun fact about yourself

When I was a baby I never had a dummy.
 
7. What's the one thing about the UK you'll miss the most whilst you're out there?
