“When Angkorian society began, Paris and London were not much more than elaborate villages. Europe was crawling with barbarians, and here were the Khmer engineering sophisticated irrigation systems and constructing the biggest temple in the world.”
― Kim Fay, The Map of Lost Memories

TORIN WONG

Hi everybody my name is Torin Wong. I was born and raised in San Francisco, California and have been a NorCal native all my life having attended college at the University of California, Davis. This will be my first trip to Southeast Asia and my first volunteer experience with Habitat Int'l. I've worked in Finance for the past 6 years and this trip will be the beginning of a break in my career to do some long awaited traveling. Some of my interests include motorcycles, sports (go Niners!), going to concerts, and volunteering. I can't wait to meet you all and it looks like we have a great group of volunteers. Safe travels!
