Meet Emma: A Teen Volunteer’s Story
Emma, a 17-year-old, recently participated in our Teach English program in Cambodia. Here’s what she had to say about her experience:
“Volunteering in Cambodia was the most incredible and eye-opening experience of my life. I had the opportunity to work with the most amazing children, who taught me just as much as I taught them. Seeing the joy on their faces when they learned a new word or concept was truly priceless. The program also allowed me to immerse myself in Cambodian culture, making lifelong friends and memories along the way. I would encourage any teen looking to make a difference to consider volunteering abroad. It’s an experience that will stay with you forever.”
