Dear NGOs partners,
AFESIP friends and colleagues,

It is to kindly inform you that AFESIP Psychology Program of AFESIP Cambodia in cooperation with Trans-cultural Psycho-Social Organization (TPO) will conduct a Mental Health First Aid training to be held at Siem Reap Town, Siem Reap Province, on 21-23 May 2013.

At a 2-day workshop on “sharing and reflection of reintegration mechanism” facilitated by Reintegration Program management, held on 18-19 March 2013 at Phnom Penh Tomdy Center, where a number of reintegrated women from some provinces around the country and more than 50 center residents were invited to participate. During the course of the event, I found that Boramy (alias), one of the reintegrated women from Koh Kong province was very active and clever, especially in the group discussion as well as the presentation. In order to know more about Borany, her business situation and so on, I tried to meet her for an interview.

Sofia was scheduled to receive in audience today at the Zarzuela Palace to Mam, 42, but the interview was suspended yesterday because the activist had become ill on the eve of an ailment that she advised her hospitalization at a health center in Madrid.

In a dialogue with television journalist Ana Pastor in the III Women who change the world, this woman was a sex slave, remember that Sunday when let out of their cages where they were locked up, I missed that someone asked for their status.

So, despite the coldness of her story, who received the Prince of Asturias Award for International Cooperation 1998, check sweetness to advise that "when you see someone suffering on the street, look at them and they will make you feel better."

On the same day when Phnom Penh Tomdy Center held this event, Siem Reap Center led by Mr. Ly Monirath, manager organized this important day as well.
