On Tuesday, participants from three of the NGOs serving signing deaf people in Cambodia, Deaf Development Programme, Epic Arts and Krousar Thmey, gathered in a room in a large building around the corner from the entrance to S-21, the notorious Khmer Rouge prison. The purpose was a focus group to determine collective priorities for the next three years.
This was the first time deaf people from the three NGOs had come together to discuss their collective priorities, the everyday challenges of living as a deaf person in Cambodia, and how they wanted to address these challenges. In the past, DDP has conducted focus groups with participants from DDP, but this time the NGO was determined to have a more broad representation of deaf people in Cambodia. Participants came from three provinces: Kampong Cham, Kampot and Phnom Penh.
