From orphanage manager to family based care advocate: The Cambodian context

Caleb and Courtney felt they were pursuing a noble and holy cause by moving to Cambodia to take over the management of an orphanage, but things didn’t go as planned. What they discovered at the orphanage taught them personally about the harms that growing up in orphanages can have on children. It took them on a new pathway of understanding more about orphanages in Cambodia and what is being done to support families to raise their own children. Journey with Caleb as he shares their story, what they have learnt about orphanages and particularly orphanages in Cambodia along the way.
