Friday Dinner After First Week

Today, we all went out for dinner at a local restaurant called ‘New Leaf’. Taking a moment to reflect on our experience thus far, I am in AWE of the passion, strength, thoughtfulness and dedication of the other pre-service teachers on this trip. They all bring an exciting and valuable ingredient to the teaching profession. Spending such intense time with like-minded people who have the same desire to love and educate the children in our communities and society makes me feel super empowered to continue on this educator journey.

As a social enterprise, New Leaf has implemented numerous environmentally friendly initiatives and adopted fair employment practices; including a living wage, profit share, regular training and providing career development opportunities.

New Leaf’s vision is to support education in Siem Reap province, through profits generated by being a high quality dining experience that offers a “taste of Cambodia”.
