Conversation A
(in the studio)
Rob:     You have a really great job, Vic!

Rob:     That’s far away. What do you do as a volunteer there?
Vic:      Anything and everything! There are many poor* people there. They need a lot of help.
Rob:     We should always try to help others. Many people around the world don’t have much. And we have so much!

Vic:      When I’m in Cambodia, I am an assistant* at an orphanage.
Rob:     That’s a great way to volunteer!
Vic:      I teach the kids and help them with their homework. And I play with them a lot!
Rob:     That’s very important. All kids need love and care.
Vic:      Working at an orphanage is hard sometimes. There is always so much work to do.

Conversation C
Rob:     What else can volunteers do in Cambodia?
Vic:      They can help build houses or teach classes.
Rob:     I would like to help, but I can’t travel* there right now. How can I support your work?
