Our colleagues in Switzerland often receive enquiries from people who want to help out on our campus for a set period of time. While the school has usually been the main point of interest, there has also been, and continues to be, a desire to participatie actively in other areas. Until now, we have mostly had to turn these requests down.

We have always had a volunteering programme, but it was exclusively aimed at people with technical experience and leadership skills, as the positions were always for experienced trainers. Additionally, the minimum stay was six months as frequent changes in leadership could unsettle our teams.

All of this will continue to apply. However, we now also offer a new option with lower requirements. In principle, anyone of legal age who is in good physical and mental health can become a ‘Helping Hand’, provided they are ready to engage in the rewarding but demanding work alongside our Cambodian teams. Tasks are assigned at short notice based on current needs and individual suitability. Please note, it is not possible to work at the school under this programme.
