This year, I am giving up my birthday to support OIC
Story
Hi there
As many of you know I was recently in Cambodia and saw first-hand the difficulties that are faced with the lack of access to basic amenities that we take for granted each day such as education, healthcare and shelter just to name a few. Therefore, in exchange for gifts and birthday dinners, I am putting the icing on the cake for my upcoming birthday (August 31st) by fundraising for a cause that's close to my heart via OIC (http://oiccambodia.org/).
OIC is a NGO that helps educate, empower, and provide opportunities for people with disabilities in Cambodia (especially people that have communication or swallowing disorder) through speech therapy.
Receiving a donation from you would be the BEST birthday gift ever!
I have recently been in contact with these guys and feel they are making a huge difference with not only helping people with disabilities live a more fulfilling life but also taking steps forward to alleviate poverty in rural areas.
My target of $500 is enough to train 15 teachers in Cambodian education settings on how to work with and support children who have communication difficulties.
For all you legends who support me in this endeavour I am truly thankful and I welcome you all to read more about the cause on the website oiccambodia.org or Facebook page 'OIC: The Cambodia Project'
Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly to OIC. All contributions will be used to support the costs of curriculum development for speech therapy training, speech therapy training itself, the development of Cambodia-specific communication tools and resources, research, and raising the profile of communications and swallowing disorders.
I would really appreciate any contribution, big or small.
Thank you so much for your support!
Cheers
XB

OIC Cambodia (Education) (Global Development Group – J703N)
OIC Cambodia (Education) is a Global Development Group approved aid and development project (J703N) which aims to address the gap in health services in Cambodia for more than 600,000 people with a communication or swallowing disability.
Communicating with others is at the heart of being human and helping people communicate is at the heart of what we do. We are working towards a Cambodia where each of these people receives the speech therapy services they need to communicate with those around them, and lead full and happy lives.
We have two significant goals to addressing the speech therapy needs in Cambodia:
- To train teachers in speech therapy-based inclusive education to better include children with communication disabilities into schools. This project will benefit 180 teachers and 5,400 children with communication disabilities across six provinces in Cambodia.
- To graduate the first generation of Cambodian speech therapists from a Cambodian university.
OIC Cambodia is proud to be a partner for Project J703N OIC Cambodia (Education) with Global Development Group (ABN: 57 102 400 993), an Australian DFAT approved Non-Government Organisation.
