Mara Schneiders

Mara Schneiders, an Australian Volunteers International (AVI) volunteer, recently arrived in Phnom Penh to begin her 18-month volunteership at RUPP to help the new Social Work Department set up policies and procedures for field placement. Mara's first task is to work with Dalin Meng, MSW ’08, to hire a local practicum and community service learning coordinator.
