DUMC Stories

I

t has been nine months since I started serving in Cambodia. It was a step of faith and an adventure that only became possible when I stepped out. Cambodia welcomed me with her blazing sunshine and natural sauna of 38°C to 40°C. Being a gung-ho and driven person, I went about my responsibilities at full force. I was not wise; I forgot to take into consideration the weather and the environment. Many people call it the “oppressive heat” season. In the first four months, I lost 4 kg, and fell ill three times, lying flat on my bed with fever, gum infection and dehydration, and unable to eat or do anything. I visited three provinces: Kampong Cham, Kampong Spue and Svey Rieng for my ministry and work. I began journeying with two lady entrepreneurs who had won awards on Women’s Day! I attended my 1st Investment Seminar in Phnom Penh and met the ambassador from the United Kingdom. In addition, I hosted the 1st Business for Transformation Zoom Business Fellowship.
