Challenges Abroad Volunteer 2023.

In June of 2023, I accompanied fellow Pre-Service Teachers to Cambodia with the Future Sense Foundation to teach English to students in the rural town of Aek Phnum. During my time there, I learned how to teach through the use of body language, and make a difference, despite the language barrier. This experience enlightened the importance of relationships, and how important they are to foster a supportive and successful learning environment.
