Cambodia
vMaD is an NGO Charity in Siem Reap offering cheap and short-term volunteer opportunities. Their minimum placement is only one week, and they were the cheapest I could find.
They pay for all your accommodation and transport and the profits go to charity. There are projects available teaching in orphanages or doing building and farming work. Probably worth checking out if this sort of thing appeals.
This is an inexpensive (US$12 per room), simple, clean and very friendly guest house. Each room has en suite and air conditioning. It is a good place to unwind after a hard, hot day. There is a bar, a casual restaurant (with Western or Khmer-style food), a pool table (good for chilling out) and free internet for catching up with your emails and bragging to friends. It is close to town and they give you transport around town and to the airport. The modest profits from here go to support Savong's School - a volunteer language school that is also worth visiting.
