Meet Léna, Our Volunteer Coordinator My name is Léna and I have been working as a volunteer in Siem Reap since September 2021. Now that my time at Anjali House is coming to a close, I took some time to reflect on my experience. Life in Cambodia has changed a lot since I arrived here.

I adapted myself rather quickly to… Read more
