The City Cambodia Project 2017: Week 13
Our role here is to train and empower others so that they can do the work after we leave, rather than to give children speech therapy. The foundations have now been laid for a full university course in speech and language therapy to develop, giving speech and language therapy more recognition in Cambodia and enabling this profession to grow throughout the country.

However, over the years James has overcome various operations and difficulties, growing up into the brilliant young man he is today.

The City Cambodia Project 2017: Weeks 11 & 12
Our role here is to train and empower others so that they can do the work after we leave, rather than to give children speech therapy. It can be tricky sometimes to separate these two things and ensure that we are not simply giving direct therapy, as this is not sustainable.
