Job Hunting

I've tried really hard NOT to get too busy too early in order to focus on language & cultural learning this year. However, there are some invitations coming in for jobs that sound soooooo much fun! Who knows what I will be doing in six months time? Here's one possibility:

Expatriate advisor needed for Big Brothers and Sisters of Cambodia

Big Brothers and Sisters of Cambodia, an exciting new ministry of the EFC Youth Commission, is looking for an expatriate advisor.

Tens of thousands of Cambodian orphans have no father to guide them and no mother to love them. Research shows that 40% of these children have had to drop out of school and 28% have had to leave home. But the worst thing is not to miss school or even to leave home.

The worst thing is to have no-one to pay attention to you, no-one who cares if you succeed or fail, no-one who says “Well done!” or “You can do it!” Imagine if every orphan in Cambodia had just one person to regularly take an interest in their life.

Our vision is to spark a movement that will equip Christian youth all over Cambodia to put their faith into practice in a simple yet powerful way, as Big Brothers and Big Sisters. Imagine the impact of thousands of Christian youth discipling one orphan each.

Big Brothers and Sisters form themselves into groups of between 5 and 10, normally through their church youth group. BBSC provides training and then each Big Brother or Sister is matched up with one orphaned little brother or sister from their local community.

Each Big Brother and Sister commits to visit their orphan at least once a week. During this visit, the Big Brother or Big Sister encourages, listens, plays, prays, eats (anything fun!) with the orphan. As a group, the Big Brothers and Sisters also meet regularly to pray for their orphans and have a fun outing all together once a month.

The expatriate advisor is a part time mentoring, coaching and discipling role alongside the Cambodian Coordinator of BBSC....
