Several of my illusions about working for a UN agency have been shattered during my time here.My work is extremely interesting- advising UNHCR and its implementing partner NGO on education for the Vietnamese Montagnard refugees here in Phnom Penh, and having a hand in providing that education.
Unfortunately, the Cambodian government has ordered the
closure of the refugee site by January 1st. UNHCR have asked for a three-month extension in order to get the refugees resettled, but we'll see how that goes.
