Channy and Canna Krousar Thmey School

The Krousar Thmey School, which English translation is “New Family School”, is one of the most important Cambodian associations committed to develop activities for deaf-muted children. The School’s Committee started to use the Cambodian sign language in 1997 with the support and collaboration of entities such as the Educational Ministry, among others.

The Committee’s members work daily to improve the Cambodian sign language and are responsible of the writing of text books for deaf-muted children.

We are happy that two of our beneficiaries, Channy and Canna, were accepted into the Krousar Thmey School, now they can learn Cambodian sign language and count with an adequate pedagogic support according to their special needs.

An Ai.Bi.’s social worker takes them to school and brings them back to the institution at the end of the day five days a week.

The first days Channy and Canna were a little bit scared but now they can stay together with their other classmates and seem to be really enjoying their new friends and their time at school.
