November treats

A big thankyou to volunteer Emma Horsfall who took us all out for dinner this month.  She saw the sparkle in the eyes of the kids at the mention of the word 'PIZZA!', so we piled into tuk-tuks and headed off to Sorya mall.  The kids enjoyed delicious pizza and finished off with ice-cream!  See the pics below:

Ready to go - how many people can we fit in the tuk-tuk?!

Kaylie Wallace

Kaylie came to Aziza's Place to spend her summer volunteering and experiencing life in Phnom Penh.  With her bubbly personality, energy and enthusiasm, she made a new best friend in Channy as they studied English together (see  left).  Kaylie also taught English to the staff and lent a hand in various adminstration projects.  Many thanks for your work Kaylie - we look forward to seeing you when you return!           

How did you find Aziza’s Place?

Amjad Ghori is a lifelong friend of my father!  I didn’t have to look very far to stumble upon this amazing opportunity.

What brings you here? What is your motivation to come?

I study Global Development and Foreign Affairs at the University of Virginia, where I am currently in my third year. I knew I wanted to gain some experience abroad, and ideally, through an NGO or non-profit in a developing nation. I followed my dad’s advice and contacted Amjad, who quickly offered me the opportunity to work at AP for the summer. I didn’t think twice and started booking tickets and making plans! The fact that my mom was able to join me for two weeks made the experience even more special and meaningful.
