From Orphanage Manager to Family-Based Care Advocate: The Cambodian Context [MS]

Working and volunteering in orphanages is a common story that you may have heard from people in your community or you may have even spent some time working in an orphanage.  Over 1.5 million people every year around the globe volunteer in orphanages, pouring $2.6million into orphanages every year.  While most people may have a very positive experience from volunteering, unfortunately the reality of children’s lives may be very different.  In this course we learn about the personal journey of Caleb and Courtney from orphanage managers to family-based care advocates.
