Our friends, Vocare Media shot this story and volunteered at the same time at the Unaccompanied Children Association (Unacas), an orphanage in Cambodia.

Normally behind the camera, they conducted life skills workshops, taught English and helped to build fences to improve security at the location.

They told us that the great thing about the trip was that they got to learn from the kids and got to find out about their dreams and aspirations.

Kudos for getting fully immersed in the story.
