Meet John: A Retiree’s Volunteer Journey

John, a 68-year-old retiree, recently participated in our Eco-Tourism program in Cambodia. Here’s what he had to say about his experience:

“Volunteering in Cambodia was the most rewarding and eye-opening experience of my retirement. I had the opportunity to work alongside local communities, learning about their sustainable practices and contributing to the preservation of the environment. Seeing the impact of our efforts on the local ecosystem and the pride of the community was truly inspiring. The program also allowed me to immerse myself in Cambodian culture, making lifelong friends and memories along the way. I would encourage any retiree looking to make a difference to consider volunteering abroad. It’s an experience that will enrich your life in ways you never imagined.”
