WORKING ENVIRONMENT:
On your first day, be sure to bring a copy of your travel medical insurance policy, so we have it on file while you are volunteering with us.
Volunteer hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00am-2:00pm. An average day for our volunteers usually consists of preparing the filter media for the bio-sand water filters the construction of the filters.
Building water filters at our field site would be a full week commitment to that project activity.
Activities would include:
During your volunteering week you will have the opportunity to go out with the biosand water filter team to local villages to deliver and install the filters. Volunteers who experience a water filter delivery would be in the field from 8:00am to 3:00-4:00pm. On the day when volunteers would be in the field, it is strongly suggested volunteers come prepared with water and snacks or a box lunch.
For those who are interested, there may be opportunities to help out in our test gardens with weeding, digging, planting, and harvesting, depending on the season and what agricultural activities are occurring during your volunteer service.
While these laborious activities are perhaps not the most glamorous work, it is important work- and the vital support of our volunteers directly enables us to provide clean water and agriculture opportunities to the villages in need.

Helpful social media (give us your story)
Volunteers can help us continue to transform the lives of rural Cambodian families, moving them from mere survival to more sustainable livelihoods. Through your story, you can continue to be involved in the work we do in Siem Reap province and be an agent for change.
We all know how impactful videos can be. Trailblazer asks volunteers to capture one to two-minute video clips of life in Cambodia and of Trailblazer’s work. And we encourage former volunteers to share mini videos they may have captured during their experience, for posting on our website and social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
If you have a video clip to share, please email chris@thetrailblazerfoundation.org.
Encouraging others
The needs are great in Cambodia and the scope of our projects is limited only by the funding we receive. If you would like to become an individual donor, even a small amount is appreciated and can go a long way. Making a donation to the general fund is the way to ensure your funding will have the most impact, as it allows flexibility in responding to requests from the people we assist. And to make an even greater impact make your donation recurring. With consistent monthly giving it makes implementing our four programs (Health, Food Security, Education and Economic Development) easier because we know the funding will be there.
You can spread the word to those you know about Trailblazer, tell them why you chose to volunteer for Trailblazer, our efforts to help rural Cambodians, and why they should consider to support us. There are various levels of support they can consider that include:
Health Program
Food Security Program
Education Program
Economic Development Program
The support that volunteers and interns provide Trailblazer Foundation is beyond our expectations. We thank you for your time and commitment to Trailblazer. It means the world to us.
