Hi Everyone,
Welcome to our new blog! It’s up and running before the new website is ready to go lived but that won’t stop us!
We’ll b using this to update on interesting things going on at CfC and what’s happening on the ground in Cambodia.
So what is going on in Cambodia?
Clay has landed Phnom Penh and will be working for CfC as an Australia Youth Ambassador for Development (AYAD) for the next 12 months.
He’ll be working in Siem Reap as the Program Development Officer. His job is to work together with a new Social Worker to implement programs that will benefit our participants. He’ll also be looking at improving production processes, training staff, implementing a strong Measurement and Evaluation system and helping us get more funding.
Clay has Hours (1st class) in Development and did his thesis on governance in Cambodia. He has also studied project management and done and lot of teaching end training people around the world.
We’ve been waiting for about 3 years to get someone on the ground over there so it’s great to have finally achieved that.
He’ll be blogging here regularly and bringing us stories, pictures and videos from the ground so stay tuned to hear about how it all goes.
In general Camboida news the first conviction hase been handed down in the Khmer rouge trials to ‘Duch’ the infamous director of Toul Sleng prison. http://www.krtrial.org/showarticle.php?language=english&action=shownews&art_id=4285&needback=1. I’ve heard people saying that the sentence is too short and I’ve also read that he will appeal.
Stay tunned for more soon from Clay on the ground in Cambodia.
