Young Socheat of Cambodia shares his tale of community organising

Hope you all are doing well with life and CO works. Here are some updates from Cambodia:

1. Our lives are busy and crazy as usual. Mr. Sivutha is still the champion of being the busiest man, traveling to the provinces for CO works.

2. We, participants of advance CO course 2009, Mr. Sivutha, Nareth and Socheat are working together with other activist NGOs organizing quarterly CO Study Circle.

3. Nareth and I together with few activist NGOs in cooperation with LOCOA (Leaders and Organizers on CO in Asia); some of you may know LOCOA is developing CO ToT training curriculum for fit Cambodia context.

4. I as Program Officer-CO for SADP (Southeast Asia Development Program) am practicing Quality Process Approach on Community Organizing with local NGO partners at the fields so that during this month I will be at the field together with our NGO partners doing community reflection and planning at 6 target villages. The reflection will be once in 4 months and the following months will be supporting and following up the community plans. As we are trying to build ownership of the community, the plan will be mostly carry out by the communities themselves.

More updates are coming soon either from my side and Narath+Mr. Sivutha

Good luck
