AP Volunteer News

Lani Warsh - Lani, a trained Pastry Chef, joined AP in January 2010 from Toronto, Canada. She took on the critical role as our first Intern. Lani was instrumental in implementing our Community Outreach program and developed strong and trusting relationships with the families of AP residents. Lani had a great time teaching the intermdiate English class about different cultures around the world and even gave them a cooking lesson! We thank Lani for over four months of dedication and invaluable support to the residents, staff, and community members of AP. We will miss you dearly, Lani.

Michael Johns and Kepi Roberts - Mick and Kepi are from Tasmania, Australia and are currently living in the volunteer apartment next door to AP. Mick is our second Intern and will focus on our Community Outreach program. He is working closely with Makara, AP Program Coordinator, to increase AP's efforts to help our community members in need. Kepi is guiding our 5 film program graduates in creating a documentary video about Aziza's Place. She has a degree in Film Theory and Film and Television Production and is excited to work with the children on this project. Mick is teaching our advanced English class and Kepi is teaching the intermediate level. When they aren't at AP, you can find them cruising on their new motorcycle or braving the mid-day heat playing tennis. Mick and Kepi, we are so happy to welcome you.

Davina Clay- The kids at AP were ecstatic to see Davina back in Cambodia in April. Though many of the kids were away for Khmer New Year, Davina had a chance to hang out at AP and take a field trip to the swimming pool. She first volunteered at AP in the beginning of 2009 and took on helping to establish the Aziza Foundation UK when she returned to the UK. The UK Foundation focuses on funding Aziza's Place and upcoming projects in Cambodia. Davina is now the Finance and Administration Manager at the Aziza Foundation UK, take a look at the Foundation's work here.
