Therapist Volunteer Trip August 2020

August 29, 2020 - September 7, 2020

- $1500

These trips are designed to give health practitioners the opportunity to provide physical therapy services to disadvantaged communities around Cambodia. We have partnered with other NGO’s to provide therapists a completely curated experience that allows them to provide treatments and share their knowledge working with local community groups, all in a safe supervised environment.

From where we stay, to what we do, to where we eat, each has been carefully selected (where possible) to contribute to social enterprises or NGO’s that are working on programs that help benefit the wider community.

These programs include visits to rural communities with little access to health services, organized health treatment camps & general sightseeing.

* Each trip has limited capacity so book in early to avoid missing out
