Before coming here, I had spent a good amount of time in a village in the outskirts of Samrong, a village which had caught my heart due …

I had an amazing time in Cambodia! Highlights of the trip: I really appreciated the diversity of the work. Each day was a different mix of planting and collecting seeds which made it all very interesting.

Highlights The biggest highlight was easily the teaching itself. The children are so happy and enthusiastic, making it an absolute pleasure to teach them. The cultural week had some interesting activities and seeing other parts of Cambodia like Ankor Wat and one of the floating villages were also fantastic, but my favourite part was definitely the teaching. Team, food and …

The hospital placement was at times mind boggling and an emotional roller coaster but defiantly a fantastic experience. The whole program seems reasonable well organised, Mr Yah and his family and the coordinator are all nice and very helpful. I was lucky I was one week alone and one week with another nurse. In busy times I think the accommodation struggles and I would not …
