After four days full of many goodbyes, sharing stories, experiencing “lasts”, presenting final projects, carefully packing bags, and loading onto a bus for a final drive through the drowsy nighttime city, 14 students boarded a flight from Phnom Penh to Seoul Korea on April 5th. They will have a layover…
We had two students who did their service work in Phnom Penh. Berke and George both continued to live with their study families, but their days changed dramatically once they began the service portion of their time here. Drawings that will become stencils for silk painting. Like…
