This February, 4 of our students and one teacher traveled to Cambodia to follow up on the volunteer work they have been doing at Seinan Jo. Here, they share some comments and photos about their experiences there:

I mainly spoke in English with three students. Although their pronunciation was sometimes difficult to understand, I was happy when we understood each other, and I developed the determination to keep communicating without giving up.

There were times when I couldn’t find the right words in English, which was quite frustrating. Moving forward, I want to make the most of my facial expressions and body language, and truly value the mindset of simply “wanting to communicate.”
