Why Cambodia

„This summer I had the most amazing experience in my life. I was in the great country, where the great people live. So I was lucky to stay in Cambodia for 6 weeks and worked as a teacher of English at a local private school. I used to have very nice students of different ages. I was glad to share all my knowledge and life experience with them. It's the best feeling to realize that you can help other people, to know that your actions can inspire others. I made a lot of friends there, found out a lot of interesting things about this tiny country (comparing to mine), developed my personal skills. Thank you, the Tanya, Russia whole AIESEC team for such a cool time that we spent together.” „Different country with different traditions. I never expected that, at first it was hard for me. Later, I felt like here is my home country. Dealing with Tuk Tuk driver, local citizens and everyone on the street made me feel that I am one of Cambodian citizen. AIESE- Cer, EP Buddies also all Cambodian people were very helpful and kind. You may find happiness in every where. Meanwhile, happiness is not about owning things but we are creating change to happen. I wish I can stay here for the rest of my life. I will never forget anyone here.”
Ahmed, Egypt „Thanks to my host LC, TL and EP. I had a blast in my GCDP in Cambodia. They are super-friendly and helpful to me. We live next to a local family and I have experienced a lot of Cambodian culture. I will miss the days in Cambodia so much!”
