38 | Life After Law: Reconnecting with My Roots (feat. Khmaussie Piny Ly)

Piny Ly is a Khmer Australian (Khmaussie), born & raised in Sydney, Australia, who was a former Corporate Lawyer for 6 years in Hong Kong. In the midst of her law firm closing down, Piny pursued a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to volunteer with the Cambodian Children’s Fund (CCF) and uproot her life in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. She discusses about reconnecting to her Khmer roots through learning the Cambodian culture and language and the current issues facing our Khmer community in the homeland. Piny now serves on the CCF Hong Kong Board as its first Cambodian, and she is the President of The Cambodian Society. She also opens up about her challenging and unique upbringing and discusses how she is adjusting to her new life in Cambodia. Piny is a shining example of a fearless and compassionate leader!
