Ari Comaniciu

Ari found us on Workaway while taking a few months off to get some ‘fresh air’, to find new inspiration and motivation before fully immersing herself into the next big chapter of her life.  It turns out she just needed a little dose of Karen hospitality at Mae Ra Moe!

Ari lives in Switzerland now but she is originally from Romania. She speaks many languages! She taught English at High Three in 2018 and as a newly graduated doctor she also prepared medical lesson plans. She delivered special classes in First-Aid and Basic Life Support in her ‘spare time’. She even brought an inflatable mannequin to demonstrate CPR!

Ari fell in love with the Karen people and she is passionate about helping them. She’s just starting a new career but she wants very much to help other volunteers to help the Karen people. If your time zone is close to Ari’s we will be happy to introduce you so you’ll have a regional Mae Ra Moe alumna to ask for advice about volunteering in camp.
