I'm a science teacher here in Cambodia. I worked as an associate of North Minds Learning Consultancy (NMLC) in the Philippines before moving here in Cambodia. One of NMLC's responsibilities is collaborating with government organizations to support trainings and seminars for farmers, youth, leaders, and government personnel. I took roles as photo and report documenter, sound man, emcee, facilitator and resource person in these trainings.
