I’ve been collecting information on various volunteer opportunities around Southeast Asia, and will begin posting them here as I get them checked out. Today’s first highlight is Angkor Hospital for Children. The Siem Reap hospital is independently operated, and funded primarily by New York based Friends Without a Border. The hospital recently opened a satellite branch in a more remote village away from the bustle of Siem Reap to serve the needs of the rural poor, which are still abundant in Cambodia.

You can of course simply make a cash donation through Friends Without a Border to help fund the hospital’s operation. But, you can have a much more meaningful experience by volunteering your time at the hospital. There are opportunities for non-medical people as well as medical professionals. You can also make arrangements to donate supplies.
