Director

I first came to Cambodia in 2019 and fell in love with the people and the culture. I knew immediately I wanted to move to the country. With experience in teaching in South Korea across multiple levels and completing my M.Ed in Global Education, I was eager to find an organization that empowered Cambodian children. I joined Anjali House in 2020 as development manager. Now, as Director of Anjali House, I am honored to lead our team in implementing our programs, creating an environment where children can thrive, and ensuring our ongoing sustainability.

I have been working at Anjali House since November 2017. I first learned about Anjali House through a Facebook advertisement seeking a teacher. Before applying, I visited Anjali House’s page and website for more information. After learning about the organization’s work, I decided to apply, and fortunately, I was given the opportunity to work here.

Currently, I am working as a Project Coordinator and Bookkeeper. Additionally, I teach English to students aged 9 to 13, as well as those aged 13 to 18, focusing on soft skills and 21st-century skills. I also assist scholarship students to ensure they successfully navigate their university journey and build promising careers. I would like to express my gratitude to the donors and sponsors who have generously supported our journey since 2008.

Renate Suess

Volunteer

My husband and I have been living in Cambodia since August 2022. He is leading a climate change adaptation project and I wanted to do something useful for the Cambodian people. We came to Siem Reap end of 2022 for the project. In February 2023 I found Anjali House and since then I have been assisting the teacher Sreyneav in the High Beginner and High Elementary class. I like to develop different teaching styles and my goal is not only to be a good teacher for the students, but also to show my co-teacher how to diversify the lessons and take care of all levels within a class.
As I study Khmer, I also have the great advantage of being able to understand the students and why they have problems learning a comparatively simple language like English. While Khmer is very difficult for foreigners to pronounce, write and read, the grammar is very simple. So I can focus on all these differences between Khmer and English, which is a big advantage in my teaching and also an advantage for me in learning Khmer. Thank you Anjali House for giving me this great insight into Cambodia through the stories of my students.
