Foreword

Dear friends

For this year again, it is with a certain emotion but also a touch of apprehension that I had toundertake this difficult task consisting of presenting the work of an entire year in one page. In otherwords, I had to ask myself how to share with you in the most expressive and economic way thechallenges encountered, the hopes and fears we went through and of course the successes andfailures experienced in the implementation of our activities for the most disadvantaged people inCambodia. Not so easy!

As I was feeling the anxiety of a blank page, one friend shared with me some thoughts of JeanVanier, the founder of L'Arche community, and it was exactly what I wanted to share with you whosupport us, near or far, by actions or thoughts.

"We are not called by God to do extraordinary things,but to do ordinary things with extraordinary love.

J.Vanier

It seems to me that this sentence contains everything we have tried to do over the past year. Asexpected, we have concentrated our efforts in the fields of education and disability, giving a specialplace to the little ones, literally and figuratively speaking.In the field of early childhood care and education we have opened new community pre-schoolclasses to offer more children the opportunity to live a happy childhood and to prepare themselvesfor a better schooling. At the same time we started a new program for people with disabilities. Weincreased the number of our Community Based Rehabilitation centers in order to give children andyouth with intellectual or mental disabilities the dignity they deserve as well as to ensure therespect of their rights and dignity in the society.

To accomplish such tasks, we did not need to use extremely expensive equipments or to applyrevolutionary techniques. In fact, it is quite the contrary. Most of the time, our most preciousresource was the human beings, their presence and their patience. It is not always easy to find menand women of goodwill but also working in a professional manner, eager to know the others,showing a constant attention to individual needs, and most of all capable of giving love.Nevertheless, ultimately and without ignoring the weaknesses of each and every one of us, I cansay that New Humanity is really fortunate to have many collaborators with the gift of doingordinary things with extraordinary love.

With the strong hope that you will share with all the staff of New Humanity Cambodia the joy, notto say the pride, at the sight of the work achieved, I would like to reiterate to all of you our sincereand deepest gratitude for the continuous support that each of you, in his or her own way, hasbrought to our projects.

Sincerely,

Herv RoqueplanCountry Director

Our Vision

A society where everyone can receiveeducation and care, according to his/her needsand abilities, and participate to thedevelopment in his/her own rural or urbancommunities.

Our MissionThe main mission of New Humanity is topromote education in order to contribute tothe fight against all forms of poverty andexclusion, affirming the dignity and rights ofevery human being.

With the aim of fulfilling such Mission, NHinterventions tend to:

Develop and improve education and careservices, especially for children and peoplewith disabilities, by working in partnership

with local communities. Develop and improve agricultural activities

in local communities, with particularattention to ethnic minorities.

Our Identity

New Humanity Cambodia is an internationalCatholic NGO headquartered in Milan (Italy).Our organization works for humandevelopment through education and care forchildren, people with disabilities andindigenous people.Since its creation in 1992, New Humanity has

focused its work on the development of humancapital, providing support to destitute familiesin rural Cambodia in order to encourage themto value education and health care,establishing programs of basic and non-formaleducation, implementing community pre-schools, supporting higher education andstrengthening agricultural and life skills. In thesame way NH developed basic healtheducation and emergency relief program aswell as care and education for people withdisability especially for those suffering ofmental impairments.

Nowadays, New Humanity Cambodia isfocusing its activities on the field of educationand disability as the two pillars of ourorganization. However NH also implementsother smaller projects such as agriculture andfood security or health education andsanitation.

Our Working Spirit

To accomplish our vision and mission, we areworking following a few principles:

Situation analysis of the population targeted

in order to understand and identified theirneeds. This analysis at the same time isfounded on the information collected by abaseline research.

Encouragement to enhance communityparticipation, beneficiaries and stakeholders,within all our activities to develop a strongsense of ownership. It is in this spirit thatwe recruit most of our staffs directly in ourprojects targeted areas.

Consideration of gender mainstreaming, toassure a balanced presence of femaleamong our beneficiaries and staff as well.

Consideration of ethnic minorities andindigenous groups, who are among the mostdestitute populations in Cambodia.

Respect of the cultural values, traditions andbeliefs of our targeted populations.

Consideration of the local knowledge oftargeted populations in order to take intoaccount their situated practice.

Importance of capacity building for our local

staff to ensure quality and efficiency of allour activities.

Our ProjectsIn 2009 New Humanity reaffirmed its desire toreduce its broad spectrum of activities indifferent areas and to reinforce its capacities intwo sectors: education and disability.However, to fulfill our mission, we haveimplemented 3 different programs during theyear.

Education & Health Program

In this program we have regrouped activitieslinked to education and health as both sectorsare closely linked and beneficiaries are oftenthe same.

The first project is related to Early ChildhoodCare and Education and aims to tackle highrate of dropout and late enrollment in theprimary schools of Kompong Chhnang andMondolkiri provinces. The strategy consistsin motivating children and their parents onthe importance of early education throughimplementation of community kindergar-tens. Inside this project, we have designed a

health care component whose main task isto ensure the good health condition andwellbeing of our beneficiaries. Our work is toprovide children and mothers with basichealth education and health care whenneeded.

The second project is an attempt to upgradegraduated Cambodian students by givingthem a chance to obtain a Master Degree atthe Royal University of Phnom Penh. Thismaster program, implemented since 2004,focuses on Rural Development and is opento graduated students of Social Sciences and

Humanities. The Emergency Relief project is a small

component to deal with unforeseen events

mainly related to health, nutrition orhousing. Our work is to alleviate emergencycases of people in situation of distress. Ourtargeted group is our beneficiaries ofeducation but also from disability programas well as other people living in our targetedareas.

Disability programThis program consists of 3 projects:Community Based Rehabilitation Centers,Advocacy for the rights of people withdisabilities, and Prevention of disability.So far the first project has already started itsactivities, welcoming in our centers peoplewith disabilities on a daily basis. Most of ourbeneficiaries have some kind of mental orintellectual impairment. We focus our efforts toprovide them with care and special educationbased on individual needs.

The other 2 projects related to advocacy andprevention have been delayed due to financialconstraints.

Agriculture programThe goal of this program is to facilitate theavailability of food and access of it for thefamilies of destitute farmers in our targetedareas. Our work is essentially to provide themwith training on agricultural skills.

Our Intervention AreasCurrently New Humanity is working in 3provinces: Kandal, Kompong Chhnang, andMondolkiri. Our local headquarters is located inPhnom Penh to facilitate the articulation andintervention of our activities.Our main projects are located in KompongChhnang and Mondolkiri. In Kandal provincewe have only one CBR center which is linked

with our program for people with disability.Kandal is situated in central Cambodiasurrounding the capital city of Phnom Penhwhile Kompong Chhnang is about 95

kilometers to the north of the capital.Mondolkiri province, on the contrary, issituated faraway from the capital, about 500kilometers to the North-East of Cambodia. Thisprovince is mainly populated by differentindigenous groups, with the Phnong being thelargest indigenous group in this region.

Early Childhood Care and Education

2009 was a crucial year to establish betterlinks and consistency in terms of activities andadministration between our preschool classesin Kompong Chhnang and Mondolkiriprovinces. This re-organization launched in

2009 has facilitated enormously our work andits articulation.The main objective of this program is todevelop intellectual skills of 5 years oldchildren in order to prepare them to attendprimary school in the best conditions. By doingso, we attempt to reduce repetition rate ingrade 1 and 2 and decrease dropout rate inprimary school. All our activities are designedto promote children's holistic growth anddevelopment which incorporate the physical,socio-cultural, emotional, moral andintellectual aspects.

For a harmonious development of the project,we have worked on four different aspects:

Children education, nutrition and hygiene Teacher training Parents involvement and parenting skills Mothers and children health

All these activities should have an impact onsurvival and repetition rates of children in along range.

Pre-School Classes

Preschool classes are given in the morningfrom Monday to Friday. The activities focus on:gross motor skills/movement, language andexpression, cognitive activities, and activitiesfavorable to sensorialexploration and notions of timeand space. There are alsoactivities dealing with notionsof hygiene and health. Throughthese subjects a child will getfamiliar with basic

mathematics, early writing andreading, drawing, hygiene,sports, Khmer culture andsocialization. Most of theseactivities are developed bypedagogical games.

During the previous school year(2008/2009), most of the 402children enrolled in our 15classes had meaningfulprogress in the differentdimensions accordingly to their

age. Certainly these resultshave become the strongest push factor tocontinue our program for the next school year.

At the beginning of the school year2009/2010, our program opened 4 newclasses to reach a total of 14 classes in

Kompong Chhnang province and 5 inMondolkiri province, welcoming a total of 518children.The main reasons of this expansion are thepositive results obtained in terms of earlychildhood education in our targeted areas andthe need for developing this part of theeducation sector which cannot be covered bythe government due to lack of resources. It isclear that all these positive figures wereachieved largely due to a permanent presenceand regular monitoring, time used especially toencourage our preschool teachers and guide

them for the right track towards quality serviceand education.

Childrens attendance: This issue remains achallenge for our program. Although our staff

is continuously encouragingparents to send their children toschool, a high attendance rateis still far to be reached,especially in Mondolkiriprovince where only 64% ofschool days are attended by thechildren (compared to 85% inKompong Chhnang)People from remote areas likeMondolkiri are in general poorerthan those closer to the capitaland parents priority is focusedon daily food rather than earlychildhood education. This factalongside the ignorance ofeducation value reduces theaccess of children to education.

Nutrition and hygiene:Children health and personalhygiene carry the same weight

as education. A daily breakfast (rice porridgewith meat and vegetables) prepared by the

parents was provided to all children. With theprovision of daily breakfast, 71% of thechildren gained weight while 21% have thesame weight. Only 8% lost weight mainly dueto sickness. The children's weights were takenonce every two months in the province ofKompong Chhnang. This assessment will be

implemented in Mondolkiri from 2010 onward.

Preschool teachers capacity building

All our preschool teachers received regularinternal and external training courses, alwaystaking into account the official curriculumestablished by the Cambodian Ministry ofEducation.Most of the external training is done byKrousar Yoeung, an organization specialized inpreschool teachers training, especially adaptedfor those coming from rural areas. These

training courses aim to form local people tobecome new preschool teachers in ourprogram or to upgrade regularly and graduallythe skills of our experienced preschoolteachers.

Besides the formal trainings which focusmainly on pedagogical techniques and use of

teaching materials, we organized regularmonthly meetings. These meetings are indeeda training tool for teachers who share andinteract actively in order to understand morethoroughly the problems and how to resolvethem. This strategy has helped to increase ourteachers self confidence.

At the end of this school year, we found thatteachers capacities and quality of work hadimproved considerably due to the acquisitionof some teaching experience during the yearand thanks to a good level of practice of whathas been learned in the internal and externaltrainings. It was observed that at the end ofthe school year they were able to prepare anduse appropriate materials and methods forteaching. Appropriate materials and rightmethods make lessons easier to understandfor the children. Furthermore, their attitudes

and behavior towards the children changed asthey paid more attention to the kids, theirneeds and feelings. In particular, teachersunderstood well about the importance ofchildren education at this age. Consequentlythey tried to, educate, explain and convincethe parents to send their children to schoolduring the whole school year.

Sothea is one of our preschool teachers in Svay Kal primary school.She is 27 years old and she completed high school successfully.According to her, she joined us motivated by her love for kids, and

especially because she wants all the children of her community toattend school.She comments that at the beginning of her commitment it was hard forher to adjust to this new experience. Before, I felt powerless when thekids didnt listen to me or didnt follow my instructions. I always wanted

to cry and at those moments I really thought of resigning from my work

because I found it hard to continue and I felt tired. Thanks to Mrs. Soya,

the program field officer, I could stand through her advices and

encouragement that helped me a lot.Because of Sotheas efforts for childrens education, she obtained excellent results with her pupils, receivingfor instance rewarding compliments from primary school teachers. Teachers of primary school shared with metheir satisfaction of working with my pupils. Some of them told me that my students are easier to teach than other

children I am very proud of them and happyAlthough she is quite experienced, she also has some problems along the way. I have few students who arenot interested in learning new things but distracting the rest of the group. I realized that working with children

needs lots of patience and care. In spite of these difficulties, she does not spare her efforts to make herstudents understand and improve quickly. She is also concerned about the importance of parents involvement;she never gives up calling and explaining to them their crucial role in the education of their children.She finally added that through this experience she has never stopped learning about how to teach kids, aswell as how to prepare teaching material and use effective and adapted methods. However, her foremostachievement has been her way to get the attention of children and transforming them in children interested inthe discovery an acquisition of new things. Before I didnt know what or how to teach children, take care ofthem, and catch their attention, but now, after a few years working with children and paying attention to them, I

have learned and understood more and better about them and their ways of expressing themselves. Now, I am

more confident of myself.

Parents involvement & contribution

If we wish greater childrens attendance in theclass, it is important to workout the perceptionof their parents towards education andencourage their active participation. Thus,regular meetings were organized to tackle

health care and parenting issues. Every month2 meetings were organized to develop thesetwo aspects weconsider aspillars. On oneon health carefocused mainlyon hygiene,water and foodsanitation, andprevention of

commondiseases. On

the other hand meetings on parenting dealtwith how to interact with their childrenaccording to their age in order to listen to andrespond to their needs. These meetingsencourage definitively thei1r involvement andcontribution for their childrens education.At the beginning of the school year, all parents

agreed to contribute 1 kg of rice every monthfor the preparation of the daily breakfast.However, at the end of the school year only

some families could afford to give theircontribution. According to our home visits,

most of the families experienced foodshortage. Despite their economic constraintssome families provided firewood for cookingand others took turns to help cook breakfast.In some cases parents were eager to helpteachers as their assistants.

Chantha, 29 years old, is a motherof three children. Her second childis now 5 years old and he hasjoined our pre-school class in SvayKal primary school.Thanks to the positive experienceshe had with her first child, shedecided to enroll her second child

in our preschool class. Her first child was our pupilduring the school year 2007/2008 and currently sheis studying in second grade at Svay Kal Public School.My first child is attending primary school and she in

not afraid to attend her class. I think she got familiar

with the school environment while attending pre-school.

Besides her results are so positive. My daughter did not

have any problem to learn the Khmer alphabet, by

contrary she learned faster than other children who did

not have experience in pre-school.

Her house is located 3 km away from school. Everyday her husband takes her children to school bymotorcycle and even though he is very busy with hiswork he is a construction worker he keeps goingfaithfully. My husband is happy to bring our childrento school. He never complaint about it, even if

sometimes he is very busy he keeps bringing them

regularly to school.

With her smiling face, Chantha expressed that she isvery satisfied with the progresses of her childsattitude and behavior. Now, my second child can readand write most of the consonants and vowels of the

Khmer alphabet, sing and dance as well as drawing and

coloring pictures. He also shows respect to older people

and he insists in taking his shower and cleaning his teeth

much more than before. His habits and quantity of

eating has increased as well as his weight, from 13Kg

to 17Kg by the end of the year. I am very happy with

these improvements, and I am very glad to contribute

with rice and participate in all activities organized by

the teacher or New Humanity staffs

Actually Chantha participates actively in meetingsand collaborates regularly preparing breakfast forthe kids at school. By attending most of the activitiesand meetings, she has learned how importanteducation is since early age, and she knows better toohow to take care of health and hygiene for herselfand the whole family. ... before I was not so carefulabout my childrens hygiene and education but now it is

different. I dont want them to be absent from the class.

I also prepare healthy food for them at home because I

want my children to be strong. Every time my children

come back home, I ask them about their day at school

and what they have learned. I also try to help them by

explaining to them what they did not understand

clearly.

Mother and Child Health

In order to address directly the issue of healthin favor of all our beneficiaries, the ECCEprogram established a component calledMother and Child Health not only to improvethe childs health condition and hygiene but

also to give to their mothers moreunderstanding on common health issues.The objective is to develop childs good healthcondition by reducing common causes ofsickness through basic health training and bysupporting drinking water access.

Thus, our staff organized training sessions indifferent places with the objective to involveparents and community in general. Sometimesthe sessions were conducted within theschools, sometimes at the parents houses or

community leaders dwelling. The results ofthese trainings were measured by pre and postassessments but the foremost importance wasthe monitoring to verify the level of practice ofparents towards their families and teacherstowards their pupils.

Saveoun and her husband are farmers living in Angvillage, Kompong Chhnang province. They havethree sons. The third one is 6 years old and heattended NH preschool class in 2009. Currently heis studying in the first Grade.Saveoun was invited to participate in our basichealth education training, organized for all ourbeneficiaries. She never missed our training coursesbecause she realized how important it is to have agood health for the development and growth of

her children. I rememberhaving participated in 8

or 9 trainings organized

by NH. I tried to

participate in all these

lessons because I thoughtthat it is very important

for me and my family.

The most important things

I learned were those I

never paid attention

before, like body

hygiene, food hygiene, house hygiene, how to

recognize signs of some common diseases and how to

prevent them...

Saveoun explained that after training she tried toshare with her husband and children all what she

has learnt during the training. As a result of thisdynamic, the attitude and behavior of mostmembers of her family changed considerably fromday to day. Indeed, Saveoun and her husbandnowadays are paying more attention on theirchildrens hygiene; helping them to take regularshowers, cleaning their bodies with soap andshampoo, cutting their hair and nails. They are alsomore attentive to the use of mosquito net whensleeping. My children do not get sick as often asbefore because I care more of their hygiene. I also

boil water to drink all the time in order to have safe

water for them. They got less mosquito bites at night

because we use the mosquito net. I see them healthierthan before, therefore I do not need to spend much

money for medical expenses...

Higher Education and Information and Technology Training

IT Vocational Training

With the aim of facilitate further studies, NHhas implemented a scholarship program foryoung people who have achieved their studies

at high school to follow technical education atthe Center for Information Systems Training(CIST) since 2006. After 3 years of successfulresults for 2 batches of students, the programhas reached its end in October 2009.

The scholarship granted to students fromKompong Chhnang and Mondolkiri provincesduring these 3 years included: school fees,study materials, food and lodging, healthinsurance, and transport. To ensure theorganization and follow up of the studentshostel, NH assigned a staff to live with them.These factors contributed to the achievementof this program. Thus in October 2009, 11students from School Year 2007/2009 finishedtheir studies, and just after their graduation allof them found a job. Out of 15 students (5girls), 13 of them have got already a job.

Phase-out of Master Program at RUPP

After 16 years of NH involvement in highereducation at the Royal University of PhnomPenh, the Master Program in Sociology-

Anthropology started its phase-out in 2009with the implementation of the third and lastintake of the program to be ended inDecember 2010. This extension aimed on theone hand to consolidate academically theMaster program within the Department ofSociology; on the other hand, to reinforcesocio-cultural research on rural developmentfrom a sociological and anthropologicalapproach, thus to build gradually a body ofknowledge about socio-cultural issues writtenby Cambodians.Since this intake represents the phasing out of

NH presence at RUPP, the involvement withinthe program was reduced to support teachingallowances for lecturers, tutoring services forstudents, organization of workshops andseminars regarding cultural research andwriting academic papers, research fieldworkactivities, thesis supervision, and scholarshipfor the best 5 master degree candidates.Since its establishment this program intendedto develop the students knowledge and theircapacity to examine and critically analyze localand regional relevant issues; to accomplishsuch goals, the Master program focusedstrongly on research activities along the wholeperiod of formation, looking for building a sortof research culture within the students mindand hearts. Wishing to find out the impact ofour program in 2009 we conducted a survey tomonitor the current activity of former studentsof our program and the results show that 90%of the former Master program students arecurrently pursuing their research activities asgovernment staff, NGO staff and otherinternational agencies. This active participationin building a body of knowledge aboutCambodia covers a wide range of issues andgeographic areas.

Emergency Relief

This component aims to aid people in situationof emergency due to their economicdisadvantage, especially families withoutfarmland. Our targeted group is mainly thebeneficiaries of ECCE and CAPABILITIES

program. However, it is also open to otherpeople in the targeted areas. The aid providedconsists of referral for sick people, foodsecurity, housing, and water access.

The spirit of this activity is really to reach outto the poorest among the poor and to givethem a hand to cover the essential needs. In 2009 we referred 86 poor sick people to

some health facilities to get treatment. A total of 23 vulnerable families were

supported, reaching 149 householdmembers. Some families received rice

provision to face food shortage while othersreceived powder milk for their malnourished

babies; these babies were monitoredregularly to watch their progressiveimprovement.

We provided Ceramic Water Purifiers to 30families without access to drinking water in

order to ensure their daily waterconsumption.

Between 1 and 2 houses were repaired orbuilt every month.

In the same line, this component also securedclean water for children in the preschools andother key locations where families do not haveaccess to water. To do so the program hashelped the construction of wells and donationof pumps, hoping that more children andpeople in the community could enjoyaccessible water location.

Tin, 44 years old, is living inChak village, Kompong Chhnangprovince. He is a farmer with 7children. He works in the ricefield but also goes fishing fordaily food. His wife collectsshellfishes near the river to helpher husband. Both can generate

an income of approximately 20dollars per month.Tin got an accident while cuttingbamboo; his hand was deeplywounded and then infected. Hewent to a traditional healer withwhom he spent 2 months andmoney without positive results.Then he decided to go toCambodian Trust, a NGOlocated in Kompong Chhnang,where he was referred to ahospital for surgery. Since he was not able to cover the expenses for food and accommodation in the hospital,

he went back home and bought some medicine for himself in a local pharmacy. The problem was not resolvedbut aggravated.Therefore, he decided to go to NH for help. After assessment, the staff sent him to St. Elisabeth Sick Shelter,NH partner in Phnom Penh. The center referred Tin for surgical intervention and then he stayed in St. Elisabethcenter while recovering. However, his stay lasted 2 months because of complications.Later on the wound got infected again and then NH sent him back to St. Elisabeth where the doctor decidedto take several exams including a complete blood test. Then the analysis revealed Bone Tuberculosis. With athorough diagnosis he was put under treatment for 6 months after which he was completely cured.During all this hard time, NH supported him and his family. Our staff provided the family with rice regularly,ceramic water purifier for safe drinking water, and school materials for his children. Tin enthusiasticallyconfessed Now I am cured and I am so happy, even if I cannot do the heavy work I feel so grateful.The living condition of Tins family has changed since then. His wife started to attend our basic health training

regularly. The impact is currently shown at their small cottage where the level of hygiene has been improved.Thus the family is experiencing less health problems and consequently lesser medical expenses.

DISABILITY

14/28

What started in 2001 as a small project forpeople with disabilities in the rural area hasnow become a solid pillar of New Humanity.After 8 years of work in favor of people withphysical and intellectualimpairment, our organizationdecided to build on this experience

and to establish a new programcalled CAPABILITIES (Care,Advocacy and Prevention forPeople with Disabilities) andoriginally structured by threecomponents to be developedgradually. The first componentincluded the establishment ofCommunity Based Rehabilitationcenters (CBR) located in ruralcommunities accordingly to therate of prevalence exposed by ourpreliminary survey in the province

of Kompong Chnnang.The second one focuses oninclusive education and disability awareness.However, since 2009 was the beginning of thisnew program, our activities and funding were

concentrated in the functioning andconsolidation of our CBR centers. Activitiesregarding advocacy started timidly but it ispreviewed to be developed at large once the

results of our research on Dailylife of People with IntellectualImpairment in Cambodian Rural

Areas - A Case Study in BoriborDistrict, Kompong ChhnangProvince will come out next year.The objective of this study is todocument the situation ofdisability in rural Cambodia byproviding detailed accounts aboutthe life of people with disabilitiesand their families. Theseoutcomes will serve us to build upour strategic plan on a concretebasis.The third component is regarding

prevention and early detection ofdisability. This project is plannedto start once the other two components will bewell structured and running.

Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR)

In 2009 NH opened 2 new CBR centers in Chakand Kompong Chhnang communes, inresponse to the growing number of childrenand youth with disabilities, particularly children

with developmental disabilities in the areawhere NH is implementing its projects.Therefore, currently we are running a total of5 centers that welcome beneficiaries from 50different villages of 5 communes located in 2different provinces.

This year the number of beneficiaries hasincreased to 96 children and youth withdifferent kinds of impairment. However, not allof them go to the centers. 65 participate in thedaily activities while 29 receive home basedcare, and other 2 receive scholarship to attendthe activities of other centers specialized oneducation for deaf and mute. All these children

receive attention and care from 29 localemployees, who are coming from thecommunities surrounding the centers orneighboring communes, a strategy that not

only benefit the disabled people but also theyoung people interested in developing theirpotentials and commit themselves in favor ofchildren indistress.

Although a lot of efforts are made within ourcommunity based centers, the home basedcare activity is never ignored. Therefore, wehave structured a timetable with activitiesincluding especially health care,

physiotherapy, and counseling forbeneficiaries who for one reasonor another can not come to thecenters. So we reach them intheir own houses, where the stafftakes the opportunity to raiseawareness about personal and

house hygiene. Despite thelimited results obtained in termsof intellectual progresses, greatresults were observed in terms ofpersonal hygiene and socialbehavior.

capacities. Thus, those kids affected by mildintellectual impairment have improved theirskills on early reading and basic mathematicsbeing able to write some Khmer vowels andconsonants. They are also able to recognizeand count some numbers. However, kids withstronger intellectual impairments are not able

to follow up these activities but otheroccupational therapy.In total we have 55 out of 96 children who areable to follow some basic teaching in Khmerlanguage and numbers. Among these 55children, 17 are able to read and write while

the other 38 are only able to recognize fewletters from the Khmer alphabet and somenumbers.From these 17 children, 8 are sponsored byNH to attend public school and 2 others are joining special schools managed by otherNGOS. Because the courses offered are only

half-day in the public school, 4 children arecoming to the CBR centers for the second halfof the day while the 4 others are going backhome, receiving visits from our staff throughthe Home Based Care activities.

Chan is an 11 year-old boy. When he first came to the centre he suffered serious ricketsand tuberculosis. Due to his condition at the beginning, he was not able to walk; his armsand legs were too thin and weak. In the Centre he received a good nutrition care andregular physiotherapy. Chan nowadays can walk without someones help despite thecollateral damage he has suffered due to malnutrition.

Being in the Centre he learned how to write and read Khmer language and basicmathematics as well. Because of his huge progresses he is attending the public school inGrade 1 now. He is so proud because he is the best student in class for the first month.Indeed he is very cheerful to play with other children and very joyful studying in the

public school. In the morning Chan goes to public school, and in the afternoon he comesto the centre to join us for lunch and then study, and play again the rest of theafternoon.Chan likes to teach Khmer alphabet and numbers to his friends in the Centre. Whiletalking with him we could see joy in his eyes. According to him he feels happy in thecentre where he has the opportunity to learn and improve his mobility. I hope that inthe future I will be able to become a driver, because I will be able to go wherever I want.

His family condition has also changed since he came to the centre. His parents have

more times to farm, grow vegetables and look after their other children at home. Hismother participates actively in meetings at the CBR center and other activities.

Working towards physical autonomy

Although many of our activities are intended tocognitive development of our beneficiaries, thephysical mobility is the same as or moreimportant to provide autonomy to the person.In consequence we havespent lots of time in

training local people to beable to provide treatmentto develop and restoremaximum movement forour children. In order toensure an adequatetherapy according to thephysical problem, wecount on the collaborationwith a professional Italianphysiotherapist working inThailand. This person isvoluntarily helping to

train and supervise thelocal staff in the field. Thistraining and supervision

have been performed 3 times in 2009, withone week of exposure each time. No doubtthat these periodical visits have improved notonly the physical condition of our beneficiaries

but the capacities of our staff too.Among 96 beneficiaries, 45 are part of

this activity. 35 of them are regularmembers of our centers while theother 10 are receiving regular homebased treatment. Most of thesechildren and youth have muscularcontractures, so they need continuousexercise. Nonetheless, the number oftrained staff is rather limited, reasonfor which the participation of parents isdefinitely crucial for an effectiveoutcome, given the regularity withwhich therapy should be applied.Parents little by little become aware of

how important their active role is,especially in a long term commitment.

No Capacity 0 - 4% Few capacities 5 - 50% Some capacities 51 - 75% Many capacities 76 - 95% Full capacities 96 - 100% Thanks to a consistent physiotherapytreatment, in 2009 there has been clearimprovements for 29 beneficiaries. They havegradually been gaining more autonomy andthen self-confidence, a major psychological

improvement. These children are currentlyable to walk without assistance, a progressthat allows them to move from one place toanother as they want. On the other hand,there are other 16 beneficiaries who still needto work hard to acquire more independence.

Health Care Concern

Most of the children who come to our centersare in a poor state of health, so our firstconcern is to recover their health as much aspossible. This preoccupation remains for us as

a key factor for the next steps to be done.Once a child reaches one of our centers,she/he is sent to one of the hospitals or health

facility we work with to have a thorough healthcheck-up so as to know clearly their healthcondition. When the results are delivered tous, we explain the situation to the parents andthen we make sure that treatment is followed

correctly. If the child needs a more specializedfollow-up, our staff will be responsible forfacilitating the access of this patient to theappropriate health facility.

This dynamic is frequently practiced due to theweakness of each child, thats why we try toreinforce their nutrition for faster recovery.Most of our beneficiaries are sent several timesa year to treat mild problems. In the case ofother beneficiaries whose bad health conditionis more severe, there is a closer monitoringdue to chronic problems. Unfortunately the

results of treatment for severe problems arenot always successful, we have experienced in2009 the lost of 2 children whose conditionwere indeed extremely severe.

17/28

Our concern for health care reaches also thosecases including surgical intervention. In thecase of physical disability when one of thelimbs is missing, the program provides accessto prosthesis or wheelchairs throughcooperation with specialized NGOS. In 2009after a medical evaluation, 10 childrenbenefited of such equipments. Theseinstruments do not cost a large amount ofmoney but are able to change the daily life ofthe person who can acquire more mobility andautonomy.

Psychological Accompaniment

It is essential, on one hand, that our

beneficiaries, children with developmentaldisability, receive psychological assessment inorder for the educators to understand bettertheir situation. On the other hand it is alsocritical that special needs teachers and parentsreceive counseling to help them to expresstheir difficulties as well as to find the bestpossible ways to adapt themselves to the dailyobstacles arising from the impairment of ourbeneficiaries.

Our activities regarding counseling is under theresponsibility of a Cambodian psychologist who

started in 2009 to assess, design, andorganize his strategy for the three differentgroups: People with Disabilities, parents, andspecial needs teachers. Since the number ofthese targeted groups is too big for just oneperson, our psychologist began with the mosturgent cases. Thus, at the end of 2009, 20 outof 96 disabled were assessed and are currentlyunder individual psychotherapy. In the case ofspecial needs teachers, 6 out of 17 began toreceive counseling. The impact of thisaccompaniment cannot be measured yetbecause of its short time; however teachers

have started to express their contentment forthis kind of specialized support.Not only teachers need to be psychologicallyaccompanying, parents need it even more.

Because of low level of educational attainment,most often parents are powerless against thesituation of their children. Parents do not knowthe origin of the disability of their child, andthen do not have an understanding how todeal with the characteristic symptoms of aparticular physical/mental disability, a

situation that puts them into a vulnerablepsychological situation too. In the case ofparents counseling our staff organizes self-help groups meetings on a monthly basis.Such meetings are producing great outcomes.As a matter of fact people do not haveproblems in interaction. Thanks to this easycommunication, parents feel encouragedinstructed, and what is even more important,they do not feel alone in this experience.Besides, the counselor has also established aschedule to meet parents individually byfollowing a request from them. These group

and individual sessions provide parents with anextremely important orientation about theirchild and tools for a different approach.Moreover, meetings are intense moments ofsharing, a real catharsis in which all theirworries and sufferings can be released.

Parents meetings

Without an active participation of parents wecannot assure long term care for ourbeneficiaries. Parents after all are the firsteducators and care givers, it is in this sense

that parents meetings were organized toencourage and support their involvement inour activities.

In 2009, this activity focused on thetransmission of some basic knowledge about

17


18/28

issues like the kinds of disabilities, socialdiscrimination, family income, hygiene andhealth care. Thanks to these meetings, parentshave begun to understand better the sphere ofdisability and its implications. Mothers havelearned how to prevent common diseases,improve basic hygiene, and especially how to

take care of their children according to his/her

disability. They have also received informationabout the rights of children with disabilitieswithin a community. The input given -encouragement and accompaniment providedto parents - has had an impact on the numberand quality of parents involvement, especiallyin assisting our teachers and preparing food

for the children at the centers.

Sora is a 36-years-old mother. She has 3 children. One was born blind and withproblems of epilepsy and spasticity. She actively participates in the centre activitiesfrom Monday to Friday, cooking, washing childrens clothes, helping the teachers andlooking after her own child.She shared with us how much her son has improved with adequate care andphysiotherapy. Her child, according to her, is able to turn upside down, move alone,laugh, play, listen and express himself by producing some sounds now. Besides, hisweight has increased and his health has improved notably.

Sora is very happy with these results. Since she takes the child to our Centre, themedical expenses for her children was reduced because it was covered by NH.

Since she is coming regularly to the Centre, she has acquired indirectly some skills on how to take care of achild with disabilities but also how to provide some basic physiotherapy, and prepare nutritious food for achild. Every weekend I help my child to do exercises according to what I have seen in the Centre, and I try toprepare balanced food like rice porridge with vegetables, more or less like in the Centre

Capacity building for the staff

We put a special attention on capacity buildingfor our staff facilitating their participation inworkshops and trainings provided by the feworganizations working in the sector ofdisability. This task remains a big challenge forthe program because training for care givers inthe area of intellectual impairment ispractically nonexistent. Most of the process ofcapacity building is done on the spot, our staffhas been learning along the years throughsporadic visits of foreign volunteers with someexperience in the health sector. Neverthelessin 2009 we counted with the help of aprofessional physiotherapist, who is comingregularly to Cambodia, to train our staff aswell as looking after the disabled.

Other forms of capacity building for our staffhave been non-regular exposures along withother organizations and partners. Sometimesour staff paid visits to partners and in otheroccasions our staff is the host for people doingtheir field practicum. All these non-regularperiods of training have meant preciousmoments for the exchange of experiences andinformation in the area of physical and mentaldisability.

Networking activities

As the sector of intellectual impairment inCambodia is not yet sufficiently developed,especially in the rural areas, our program in

2009 has tried formally to establish a networkto unite forces with other agencies. It is in thisframework that our centers are fully open towelcome visitors and/or organizationsinterested in the disability sector. In return ourstaff has received invitations from otherorganizations to build strong relationships forthe development of strategic plans in favor ofpeople with intellectual disability. Ournetworking group, so far, includes on one handNGOs, international agencies, and MOSVY(Ministry of Social Affairs, Veterans and YouthRehabilitation). On the other hand there aresome individuals who are interested in ouractivities and offer their aid.In 2009 we received a total of 66 visitors;most of them came for short visits, but enoughto experience a typical day in our centers.Besides, children in the centers are so happyto receive people and share a few hours withthem. An affectionate touch, a smile or agentle word of encouragement makes reallythe difference for them, who are veryreceptive to this kind of approach.There are also other kinds of visits, which areprofessionally framed, these visits are ingeneral longer and the impact reaches directlythe special need teachers and later ourbeneficiaries. These visitors are professionalson the disability sector or physiotherapists,both eager to give their own contribution toour program through their expertise. For the

staff these visits are part of on going trainingthat helps them to refresh and strength theircommitment.

Chanthy is one of our teachers in Popel Centre. She is 24 years old and she completedGrade 12 successfully in Boribor high school. Before working in our centre she was anEnglish teacher in her own village, then she started working with us in February 2009.She was motivated to join us by her love for kids, especially her empathy for childrenwith disability. Since the beginning she was very interested in physiotherapy and howto apply it. She expected to learn about these skills to help not only the children butalso her mother and disabled siblings in her village. Although her main interest is

physiotherapy she also helps in the centre for other activities like teaching, playingwith the kids, supervising hygiene, and cleaning.She affirmed that she has been learning many things in the past year, especially on how to identify thechildrens problem, as well as how to assess childrens progresses. Indeed, she has improved her capacitiesconsiderably, especially in providing physiotherapy, looking after and teaching the disabled children.Her commitment has obtained outstanding results as one of her students is now able to sit and another one isable to walk without someones help. She is especially proud of one student who is able to join the publicschool. He is going to the school now because he is able to walk, read, write the Khmer language and calculatenumbers. I am so happy for him.Despite her rewarding experiences, she has also to face some problems. Very often I feel frustrated lookingat the kids and their limited improvements after the physiotherapy sessions. However, I learned that I cannot

expect sudden changes or remarkable improvements in short term

I need a lot of patience for teaching children with disability; it is hard to make them pay attention. AlthoughChanty has experienced tensions and frustrations in her task, she never loses hope. She is really motivated tomake her students well understand and improve quickly.Finally Chanty confessed her satisfaction in working with children with disabilities. According to her, she haschanged her behavior and attitude: Before I was a quiet person and rather passive, but now I work actively. Ibecame more talkative, and my communication skills allow me to interact more easily with other people

Agricultural development & food security

This program aims to facilitate the availabilityof food and access of it for the families ofdestitute farmers in our targeted areas. Toaccomplish such a goal, we provide trainingupon request of the communities and

according to their very specific needs identifiedbeforehand by farmers themselves.

The objective of this mobile training is to givea theoretical frame to their practical know-howin order for them to apply new and bettertechniques, thus to diversify their cultures andtheir farming activities but also to findconcrete solutions to daily problems.

In 2009 we received a total of 129 applicationsfrom different communities but according toour possibilities and time constraints, we

ensured only 102 trainings in different villages,covering 17 communes in Boribor and TuekPhos districts (two districts of KompongChhnang province). The initial plan was toreach 100 trainings within one year. Seventopics were proposed to the villagers and themost requested training subject was poultryrearing with43 requests against only 6 for ricecultivation, a pattern that has already beenseen in previous years. These 102 trainingsconducted in the year 2009 reached a total of2,102 beneficiaries of whom 1,388 werewomen, representing 66% of all participants.

This percentage responds largely to one of ourselection criteria regarding womensparticipation.

An important activity of this component is thefollow up of our beneficiaries to identify theirlevel of practice once the formal training isover. This monitoring is done for thedemonstrators as well as for a sample of theparticipants, in order to verify how farmers areputting into practice all or a part of what they

have learnt. Consequently they can cope withfood shortage and in some cases even togenerate some income for other expenditures.

Mobile training component is also reachingchildren by providing some training in schools.The objective is to promote agriculture skillsand new techniques among children and youngpeople, thus they can apply at home what they

have acquired. Therefore, the staff of NHorganized 3 trainings in several secondaryschools in Boribor and Tuek Phos district. Thesubject training suggested by the beneficiarieswas poultry and vegetable cultivation. Thetargeted groups were grades 7th and 8th.Therefore the agricultural input reached a totalof 280 students. Other schools were interestedin our activity but reduced human resourcesand time constraint limited our scope.

Our program in numbers

129 applications were received from differentvillages (68 in Boribor district and 61 in Tuek Phos

district).

Conducted baseline survey in 102 villages tounderstand the situation

102 trainings were delivered2,102 farmers (1,388 women) and 280 students were

reached

3000 booklets on different agricultural topics wereprinted and distributed to the trainees.

According to the data collected in 2009, we

could obtain some figures from 31 formerbeneficiaries of 2008, to have an idea aboutthe impact of this mobile agriculture training.

Just taking the example of poultryrearing, the most requested subject, theresults seem to be very optimistic for thefamilies and their food security. Thus, allthe families who received poultry trainingcould generate an average of around 40dollars per family, and income generatedto cover other food expenditure. In a casestudy one of our beneficiaries started heractivities with 10 chickens and nowadaysshe has around 70. Besides, she and herfamily have been eating eggs andsometimes chicken. This family could sellabout 50 chickens in 2008, generating anincome of around 163 dollars to ensuretheir daily food consumption. Currently

they are still rearing poultry with the hope toincrease the number of chickens in the future.

Our model farm, located in Anhchanh Ruongcommune, was renovated to better fulfill itsmission of being a center for farmersinterested in seeing new techniques ofagriculture. The center is open to the wholecommunity but especially for those farmerswho have received our training. The center

was upgraded with a solar panelwater tower and a new fish pond.This improvement has benefiteddirectly to our pre-school class andCommunity Based Rehabilitationcenter for people with disabilities,both located in the same compound

of the Model Farm Center. In 2010,the staff in charge is planning togive a strong accent in the farmwith poultry rearing using differenttechniques and species of chicken.

Savon is a 28-year-old farmer with 3 children. She lives in Thneong village,Kompong Chhnang province. Two of her children have participated in NH

preschool class, and the first one is currently studying in the third Grade. In2009, Savon decided to attend poultry rearing training, conducted by ouragriculture mobile training. Because of her interest and application, shewas selected to implement the small model farm with the support of NH.Before the training, Savon had tried to raise chicken without really goodresults. According to her, chickens were often sick or died. Chickens stayedaround the house eating anything in their path. She never built a henhouseso the chickens were exposed to the rain and heat at all times. This factincreased the possibility of early death. After her experience in agriculturetraining, Savon changed strategy according to what she has learnt. Shebuilt a hen run and a henhouse to keep her chickens inside and protected.

In a few months she started to observe the results: My chickens are seldom sick and only a few died ring 2009.I built a henhouse for them and now they are much protected from the heat. Since then, I have got more income

by selling my chickens and I hope I will get even more income next year.

According to our monitoring visits we could observed that Savons living condition is a little better than beforeand especially she is very happy to contribute to her family in that way. It makes her feel proud of herself.Although the amount of money obtained is not so big but it helps to cope with some daily expenses andsupport somehow her childrens schooling. I am very happy with my chicken farm. I can raise them easier thanbefore and I do not take too much time in caring them, thus I have more time to do other chores.
