Her friend, a former volunteer, advised her that Globalteer aligned well with her passion for traveling whilst giving back to the community.

Initially, she was a bit unsure of how the children would take to her, especially considering the langue barrier. Despite this, Kathy gave it a go and was delighted at the response. Whilst leading a game in English, she watched children\u2019s faces light up as they gleefully participated. \u201cDespite my lack of Khmer, they were all so happy and interactive participating\u201d. \u201cIt was a buzz\u201d she recalls.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"> That \u2018buzz\u2019 is what drew her back, later the same year, this time for 4 weeks. \u201cMy trips get longer each time\u201d. This time, Kathy was more confident with her classroom skills and knew her way around Siem Reap. Not long after completing this trip, Covid-19 took the world by surprise. Undiscouraged, Kathy was determined to return to Cambodia as soon as possible. In January 2022, after several flight cancellations, she returned to Siem Reap becoming our first post-covid volunteer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-1504-0-0-2\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-last-child\" data-index=\"2\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-c67d20f9f743-1504\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.globalteer.org\/helpinghands\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/02\/kathy-Dover-HHC-feb-22.jpg\" width=\"643\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.globalteer.org\/helpinghands\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/02\/kathy-Dover-HHC-feb-22.jpg 643w,  https:\/\/www.globalteer.org\/helpinghands\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/02\/kathy-Dover-HHC-feb-22-300x217.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 643px) 100vw, 643px\" title=\"Geography Lessons with Kathy\" alt=\"volunteer indicated South America on a globe to 6 students sitting at a table\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-1504-1\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-1504-1-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-1504-1-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h4>Connecting Through Arts<\/h4>\n<p align=\"justify\"> Enamored, students and staff alike were celebrated her return. The students were excited to be able to practice their English with Kathy and Kathy was excited to practice her Khmer with everyone. That\u2019s right, she even took up language lessons to strengthen her connections with the community. \u00a0Her passion and dedication shine as she does crafts and English lessons with the students. She has even organised some of the students to perform a play: Alice in Wonderland!

Renting a flat rather than a hotel can often be more affordable and provide more of home comforts.\u00a0 Additionally, learning a few words in Khmer can be very useful for getting around and making connections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-1504-2-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image\" data-index=\"6\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-c67d20f9f743-1504\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.globalteer.org\/helpinghands\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/02\/kathys-library-mural.jpg\" width=\"675\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.globalteer.org\/helpinghands\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/02\/kathys-library-mural.jpg 675w,  https:\/\/www.globalteer.org\/helpinghands\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/02\/kathys-library-mural-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" title=\"Kathy&#8217;s Mural at the Library\" alt=\"a mural on the wall behind library books at Helping Hands\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-1504-2-0-2\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-last-child\" data-index=\"7\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h4>Only Young People Volunteer<\/h4>\n<p align=\"justify\"> \u201cPlease tell me when I get too old for this\u201d, Kathy says lightheartedly.
