This was my eleventh Worldpackers exchange, and I had the privilege of being Bam Nam Chun’s first. Hani is a joy to communicate with and ensures everything runs smoothly. The school is extremely welcoming and ensures that you have everything you need and quick to answer any questions you may have. The people of the village also receive you with open arms.
