We Get By With A Little Help From Our Volunteers!

In the current spirit of "Beatlemania" at Aziza's Place, we dedicate this section to our amazing circle of supporters. Volunteers Mick and Kepi have introduced the kids to all things Beatles. The kids can recite the names and biographies of the Fab Four and can't get through the week without learning the lyrics to a new song! Aziza's Place gets by with the love and support of our donors, volunteers, and visitors. The simple fact is we just couldn't do it without you!

Megan Wong, from Los Angeles, California, first came to Cambodia with her school group from Westmont University to study anti-trafficking in SE Asia. After visiting Aziza's Place with her group, she fell in love with the kids and environment of the center. Megan will be leaving at the end of July to enter her junior year. We know we will see her again when she finishes school. Good luck this year, Megan.



Kaylie Wallace is beginning her third year at University of Virginia. Volunteering in an orphanage in Brazil this year sparked her interest to major in Global Development and also made her yearn for more experience abroad. Kaylie has a special connection to Aziza's Place as her parents are life-long friends of Founder Amjad Ghori. Along with teaching our beginner English speakers she is helping the AP staff accomplish program and administrative tasks. We welcome her great attitude, adventurism and motivation in Cambodia.


Susan Rosas is a graduate student at the University of Chicago. She will spend three months in Cambodia focusing on the preparedness of children exiting orphanages. At Aziza's Place she will evaluate the process in preparing the children to live on their own. She has past experience working with children from orphanages in Kenya and beginning their thought process on the transition. We are happy Susan will be here to assist us in this process and help us to conduct workshops and discussions with the AP residents.



Ann, David, and Molly Hurd were very close friends and grew up with Aziza. David, age 17, and Molly, age 14, came to AP with their mother Ann. They all wanted to visit Aziza's Place to honor their very close friend. It was a very special visit for them and for the children of AP who do not often meet children their age from other countries. They had so much fun together playing football and becoming friends.
