Battambang, Cambodia Mission, 6–13 Dec 2025 Registration (CLOSED)

Mission size: 100–120 participants

Battambang is the capital of Battambang Province and one of the larger cities in Cambodia. Monsignor Enrique Figaredo, the Apostolic Prefect of Battambang, has invited ACTS to work with the poor and needy in education and health with the Salesian sisters who help run the Don Bosco Foundation of Cambodia. So if you have an open heart and willing hands, we invite you to join us in visiting children and helping to spruce up the infrastructure at more than 8 locations in the city and surrounding villages.

ACTS has been visiting Battambang since 2013, and many of our participants have built strong bonds with its people. We have seen the city develop with supermarkets and coffee houses popping up. Still, the rate of development slows as we venture further from the city.

Participants should be physically and mentally well to participate in the mission's activities. While the mission is primarily geared towards participants who are 16 and above, we welcome participants of ages 12 and above to join. Participants aged 12–15 must be accompanied by at least one parent.

Estimated cost (SGD):

1. Mission Fee for 2025 is $250 (includes transport and most meals)
2. 7 nights of hotel $130–$250 (depending on rooming status)
3a. Airfare to Siem Reap is around $500 
(Bus to Battambang will take approx. 5 hrs)
As of writing, only SIA flies directly from Singapore to Siem Reap.
3b. Alternatively, airfare to Phnom Penh is around $400. (Bus to Battambang will take approx. 5 hrs)
 

Application closes on 22 June 2025. You will need to attend a Mission Awareness session to understand details about the mission outreach and what is expected from you. Participants who are still interested will be required to attend at least 3 further preparation sessions & some sub-team planning meetings.
