SEALNet Project Cambodia 2012

When: Sunday August 12th – Saturday August 25th, 2012
Location: Phnom Penh and Kandal Province, Cambodia
Email: pc12 [at] sealnetonline.org
Project Leaders: Ivana Polim, David Chhan
Project Blog: projectcambodia2012.wordpress.com

How:

There are two components to the project: leadership and service.

For leadership component, we will hold workshops specifically designed for local high school students focusing on teamwork, leadership, organizational, service, mentoring support, fundraising, and English teaching skills.

For the service component, we will collaborate with two local NGOs who provide shelter for hundreds of disabled youths and children. We will provide an opportunity for the high school students to help us and apply what they have learned in the workshop into practice in the outreach sessions. For service component, we are having at least 4 outreach sessions, 2 in each NGO. Tentative programs at the NGOs are English teaching class (reading and conversational), mentoring and support network, fundraising event, and fun time for bonding and socializing.

Why:

There are a lot of disabled youths and children in Cambodia that lacks social supports and attention from the country’s development policies. There are no special programs at schools designed to help these people and many of them ended up being left behind. There have been quite a few NGOs in Cambodia that provide supports for physically-disabled youths. Due to the limited resources; however, they still need help in areas such as volunteering, funding, technical skills training other than handcrafts, and boosting the children’s self esteem. Through this project, we hope that we could address these issues and help them achieve their goals.
