2026 Dec Registration - Battambang

Battambang, Cambodia Mission, 5 – 12 Dec 2026 Registration

Mission size: 100 - 130 participants

"Battambang is the capital of Battambang Province and one of Cambodia’s larger cities. Since 2013, ACTS has been invited by Monsignor Enrique Figaredo, Apostolic Prefect of Battambang, to serve alongside the local Church, the Salesian Sisters and the Don Bosco Foundation of Cambodia in areas of education, health and community support.

Over the years, the needs in Battambang have continued to evolve. While the city has developed, many communities beyond the city centre still face limited access to resources, education and healthcare. This mission seeks to respond to those changing needs in practical and meaningful ways, from supporting children, youths and the elderly, to teaching English to university students, working with teachers, supporting visual health initiatives, and enabling doctors to share knowledge with Cambodian healthcare workers in local hospitals.

At its heart, the Battambang Mission is about walking with the community, not just giving help for the moment. Through skills-sharing, education, healthcare support and relationship-building, we hope to strengthen the independence, resilience and dignity of the people we serve.

The mission serves over 10 locations across the city and surrounding villages. This allows teams to build deeper relationships, better understand the needs on the ground, and serve with greater continuity.

Participants should be physically and mentally well to take part in the mission’s activities. The mission is primarily suited for participants aged 16 and above, though those aged 12 and above are welcome to join. Participants aged 12 to 15 must be accompanied by at least one parent.

Estimated cost (SGD)
1. Mission Fee for 2026 is $280 SGD (includes transport and most meals)
2. 7 nights of hotel $130–$260 USD (depending on rooming status)
3a. Airfare to Siem Reap is around $500 SGD. (Bus to Battambang will take approx. 5 hrs)
3b. Alternatively, airfare to Phnom Penh is around $400 SGD. (Bus to Battambang will take approx. 5 hrs)

Application closes on 26 July 2026. 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.

ACTS Battambang 2026 is co-ordinated by Theodore Gomez.

At this stage of registration, both Thailand and Cambodia have ceased all border hostilities. Should any conflict arise, ACTS will review the situation and decide whether to proceed or withdraw, following consultation with the Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA)
