All about - Our build programme
Sunday is a free day to explore Siem Reap town but in the evening we will meet our Habitat Cambodia host for dinner and welcome party.  This is a chance for us to learn more about how Habitat Cambodia works; some information about the community in which we are building; and a bit more about what to expect on the build – particularly from a cultural viewpoint.
On our first day at site, we will have a safety orientation and get to know the homeowners, after which we will start work immediately.
Habitat Cambodia will bring drinking water for us; fruit for morning and afternoon tea, as well as our lunch.  During breaks, we will have plenty of opportunities to play with the local children and to interact with the villagers. 
A Habitat construction supervisor will help our team, together with the local skilled laborers, to work on the building tasks. The work will follow a strict building schedule and it is important, for both safety and operational reasons, that we comply fully with all instructions of the Habitat Cambodia staff.
We will have a half day break during the week to visit a school or an orphanage – our host will tell us all about this at the welcome party. 
On our last day we will have a House dedication ceremony.  This is a wonderful opportunity for sharing all the feelings, impressions and appreciations that we have experienced during our time here. Most volunteers find that this is a touching time for the team, for the homeowners and for the communities.
