KNGO is a young project tryig to offer free education to village children. You can get involved from spending as little a one hour assisting in a class and giving children important contact with English speakers or take a long term teaching assignment and develop your own class. You can also do a homestay at a modern house in the village looked after by the NGO, eat with the Director's family, visit the market and learn some Khmer. See www.kngo-home.org for contact details.

After reading about this school in another thread on this site I checked out their website, seems like a great place. I was thinking of spending some time there next time I'm in SE Asia - later this year I hope :)

Hi,

I think the other thread you read was mine, and I was remiss in not updating this thread as well. I hadn't had a reply to this post before I left but took a punt anyway.

FANTASTIC experience and the highlight of my trip. I am hoping to go back for some more time later this year. Just a small point, although Saveth is keen for whatever time you are able to give, I really wished we had of been there for at least a week (rather than the three days we did there), just to get a bit of continuity for the students.

If anyone wants any more information about kngo, I am happy to answer any questions.

My husband and I worked with Saveth at KNGO last summer. It was wonderful. His family is so kind and accommodating. The children and teachers are extremely grateful for any help you can provide. Think ahead and be creative. Come with ideas and fun things for the kids to do.

Please feel free to contact me if you want additional info on my experience at KNGO. I am happy to share.
