Stacia Sahi of Bolton to study International Affairs at Carleton University, and since graduating in 2010 she has gone from there to an exiting and varied career. She first worked at an internship in New York, serving the United Nations HIV/AID program. After a stint working for the Canadian government she began teaching at an international school in Cambodia.

At the end, donated English books will be sent to Stacia to build her students’ library and the proceeds of the sale will go towards the purchase of books in Khmer.
