Further Education
The first thing that struck me about Cambodia wasn’t the heat or the colour—it was the quiet resilience in people’s smiles. We arrived just outside Siem Reap, dusty from travel but full of anticipation. The roads were lined with small homes on stilts, children waving as we passed, their laughter cutting through the hum of motorbikes.
Each day brought something new. In the mornings, we worked alongside a local team, helping with small building projects and running activities for the kids. There was no shared language for many of us, but somehow it didn’t matter. Games, drawings, and endless rounds of high-fives became our way of connecting.
One afternoon, we visited a school where the students proudly practiced their English with us. Their eagerness to learn was humbling. Later that evening, as the sun dipped low, we sat together reflecting—realising how much we were receiving, far more than we could ever give.
