Bios
Children's Future International (CFI) was founded by Andrew Wolff and Jenny Ciucci. It operates with the help of our dedicated partners and friends working with us on-site in Cambodia as well as in the US and Switzerland.
Jenny Ciucci, co-director
My inspiration to live in Cambodia came from Loung Ung's autobiographical book First They Killed My Father, which tells her story of survival among the torture, genocide and fatal ideology of the Khmer Rouge regime. More than anything else, I was touched by the extraordinary relationship she shared with her father and the strength she maintained from the knowledge that he would always be with her. I had been working as a volunteer English teacher in a tiny village in Thailand when I read this book and decided to move to Cambodia.
Prior to this trip to Southeast Asia, I was studying and volunteering for Amnesty International in my home country, Switzerland. I am passionate about writing, reading and drawing and am very excited and grateful to be able to share these interests with our students. I am fluent in English, German, French, Italian, and Swiss German, proficient in Thai, and in the process of learning Khmer.
Andrew Wolff, co-director
I am a teacher and a traveler with a passion for adventure, new challenges, and intercultural experiences. The work that we engage in with Children's Future International combines my background in both business and education with my love for children, and reinforces my commitment to education as a means to empowering the less fortunate.
I have taught English as a second language, math, and computer skills in both the United States and internationally. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Economics from the University of Rochester and a Master's Degree in Multicultural Education from the University of Colorado.
