There are so many non-governmental organizations in Cambodia, some have almost collapsed due to lack of finanical rescourses while other donors have turned their targets to other countries. My name is Kimlay and I am in my late twenties. I have developed a program in Cambodia, called The Khmer Volunteer Program with other partners outside the country. The program aims to help vulnerable children and the urban poor. I have travelled a lot throughout the country and have experience in working with the urban poor community and child education improvement. I have also been involed in various research projects for more than 5 years. During my career I have come accross some good and bad experiences. Because of these experiences I am convinced that the situation here in Cambodia can be different and certainly also better. This, in combination with all the possibilities Cambodia has to offer, made us decide to start The Khmer Volunteer Program.
At the moment the program has three Cambodian staff members. Two are full time and the other two work as freelance staff.
Mr Sameth, has lots of experience in child mobilization and community problem solving. He has worked for both National and International Agencies. Because of his humble characteristics some of those agencies overlooked him as a good resource, after they received lots of financial support. Only two weeks into his role, he motivates children who would drop the class to return to the English lessons again.
Mr Chhunleang aged 24 years old is studying English at The University of Human Resources. He can speak fluent English. He is a reserved man who always has a smiling face. He has worked as a teacher, teaching English at a private school. Mr Chhunleang enjoys his drink… one glass of beer is finished in one go glass up! His parents live in Kampong Cham province which is 120 kilometers from Phnom Penh city. Mr Chhunleang enjoys helping children very much. He works hard to achieve the work required for our projects.
Besides her full time work, Laingdy helps with the Projects in her freetime. She is an accountant working for an international Company. She supports me throughout my busy days, co-ordinating volunteer orientations. Laindgdy is the projects freelance member of staff.
Under dumpsite project, Ratha, at 22 years old, works as a project supporter. She always stays at the project and travel around and help children as needed under supervision of program coordinator.
Guided by the principle of Volunteerism For Development (V4D), the Khmer Volunteer Program (Khmer-V) advocates the benefits of civic engagement, integrates volunteerism into development programmes and, especially, the children community, and mobilises volunteers every month in pursuit of distinctive contributions to develop effectiveness. 
Khmer-V helps countries to foster and develop volunteerism as a force for sustainable development. We provide strategic advice on the role and contribution of volunteerism and options for civic engagement in development programmes. We help countries to improve public inclusion and participation in social and economic development, and we support the growth of volunteerism within communities as a form of mutual self-help or with the help and support from others. 
Volunteerism is a great part of most communities. It is a renewable and sustainable resource and, if encouraged and harnessed, volunteerism can play a significant role in national development planning. Khmer-V believes that the Millennium Development Goals of Cambodian government will only be achieved through the voluntary support of thousands of people countrywide.
