]bsm<½n Banteay Prieb is a training and community center for persons with disabilities. The center houses a vocational school, several homes for students, and workshops for crafts, wood and metal works including the world-acclaimed Mekong wheelchair.At Banteay Prieb, men and women disabled by landmines, war, accidents and polio, come to live and learn. Here, they can tell their stories, find community and gather strength from one another. The Center’s programs help persons with disabilities acquire social, technical and life skills that improve self-esteem, and enable them to lead a better life in more caring and responsible communities. Products made at the center, on the other hand, are the concrete ways by which persons with disabilities are able to share their giftedness, grow in their potential and help others.

Dear All, Congratulations to all in Banteay Prieb on celebrating your 20th anniversary!

First of all, I would like to express my deep thanks for all the people who have been involved in Banteay Prieb, such as all students who have been educated here, all teachers, volunteers, and Jesuits who have given themselves, and especially all benefactors from various countries who have been faithful in their support.

Banteay Prieb has been a special place of conversion for everyone. Students have been empowered, teachers have deepened their experience and confidence through their teaching, and volunteers and Jesuits have been transformed in many different aspects. Perhaps the fullness of these many conversions is not all immediately evident, but surely they have given seeds of hope and transformation for all of us as we face the challenges of the world.

I am sure that Banteay Prieb will continue to respond to the changing times in Cambodian society, so that you can remain faithful to your service of the poor and those with various kinds of disabilities.

Sincerely yours,

20 year anniversary of Banteay Prieb vocational school for the persons with disabilities provides us a good occasion to pay gratitude and to rekindle the fire of hope. We should give thanks for the journey of 20 years in running the school. We have to proudly acknowledge that it is a great achievement, but at the same time we have to humbly admit that it is not our own achievement. It is a fruit of a cooperation and collaboration of many parts. For this we have to extend our gratitude to them. We have to thank God for the divine providence to us. We have to thank the government for the partnership in this program. Words of gratitude should be extended to the donors who supported this project that has enabled us to give service to the disadvantaged. We have to give thank to the teachers and staff for their heart of commitment and dedication to the job. Last but not least, thank you to the students and graduates for their spirit and effort to study in the school.

Compared to the age of a person, 20 years old is a stage to adulthood. She or he has passed the turbulent period of teenage, and entered into the beginning of adulthood, which is a time to seriously think of our future. At the age of 20 years, Banteay Prieb is thinking of the best way to answer the need of the Cambodia society which is undergoing changes and development. With the help of many parts, we hope that we can render a better service to the vulnerable in the future time, and be faithful to our vision and mission.

Let us make this 20 years anniversary of Banteay Prieb as an occasion for celebration in gratitude and hope.

Many people belong to the community of Banteay Prieb. Currently, there are 145 students with physical disabilities who are living in the 12 dormitories in the center, 30 live-in staff who accommodate these students at the center, another 60 staff who commute to the center every day, and over 1,400 guests who have visited Banteay Prieb this year.

Simply put, there are more than 1,650 people have been involved with our center in the past 11 months! If we consider the past 20 years, we could not count how many people who have come and gone in Banteay Prieb.

People who have lived at, worked for, or visited in Banteay Prieb all agree that in here, there is a special warmth that is hard to put into words. I find joy being with: first, students who always smile and never lose hope despite the fact that some of them are the most underprivileged members of the society, second, with staff members with disabilities who always give their all in helping the students succeed (90% of the staff at Banteay Prieb are alumni), and finally, with those who look back and take interest in others by visiting our center. This joy of togetherness composes the special warmth that we all feel.

Banteay Prieb is now 20 years old. We want to reflect on what we have done, what we are doing, and what we will do for the future, thus, we are preparing a special celebration for its 20th anniversary. One of the highlights of our celebration is to publish our 20th anniversary book. Through this book, we hope to share such special warmth to everyone.

uring the 1980s, there were a lot of refugees at the border of Cambodia and Thailand. NGOs including Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) were present in those camps trying to improve refugees’ lives by providing public assistance, such as education and health. In the early 1990s, the war ended and the refugees went home. However, the people in Cambodia had not yet recovered from the horrors of Khmer Rouge regime, and still were suffering from hunger and deprivation.

The JRS heeded the call to help those who were very much affected by war in Cambodia, and thus founded Banteay Prieb.

How did Banteay Prieb Start?

I

n order to help not only the refugees, but the rest of the poor population inside Cambodia, the JRS, under the leadership of Fr. Mark Raper, decided to launch in the country a vocational school for people with disabilities. JRS was confident to commence such a project in Cambodia because of the experiences with JRS vocational schools for persons with disabilities within the refugee camps. Frs. Mark’s and Kike Figaredo’s several visits to Cambodia were also helpful in laying down plans and making preparations.

Hence, a team was put together for this mission. The team was composed of Bro. Noel Oliver (a Jesuit Brother from India), Sr. Denise Coghlan (a Mercy Sister from Australia), Sr. Marie Jean Ath (a Providence Sister in Cambodia), and Fr. Jub Phokthavi (a lay volunteer from Thailand that time). Bro. Noel was the Coordinator of the team and designed the

e

vocational school to be attached to a rural community development center so that the tools produced by the vocational school would help the development of the surrounding villages. It was hoped that the soldiers and civilians, all of whom were victims of war, would be able to study and work together at this vocational school.

The Name, Banteay Prieb

B

anteay Prieb is located in Ang Snoul, a district in Kandal province, not far from Phnom Penh (about 23km).

Interestingly during the war, the place was named Banteay Prieb, 'Center of the Dove', because it was the center of communication using carrier pigeons. Moreover, the government used the center as its battery workshop, ammunition dump, and prison and execution site. That was why when JRS started its project there, the prison cells were still clearly visible. The JRS founding members kept the name Banteay Prieb. However, as the JRS project progressed in the center, its name Banteay Prieb reflected a different meaning. Before, the dove was used for war communication strategy, now the dove becomes symbolic in propagating the message of peace in the country. Also, before, the war veterans coming from the various military factions aimed guns at each other, now in the center, they became friends, learning and living together.

First Aim

B

anteay Prieb's aim was to help towards reconciliation, peace and justice for the full human development of people hurt by war, oppression and exile, just like that of the original JRS. Specifically, the war disabled most closely carry the effects of all those years of adversity as the wounds are not only in their bodies but also in their hearts. To respond to their suffering, Banteay Prieb gathered them together to provide a communal sense of home for everyone from all four of the former military factions. The residential cottages with peer-counseling in each cottage helped to achieve this. The school was not only a place to make friends and learn vocational skills, but it was also means to regain their sense of self-dignity and uniqueness as human beings.

Beginning In order to really start the work in Cambodia, JRS made a Cambodia team ready: Sr. Denise Coghlan, Sr. Marie Jean Ath, Br. Noel Oliver and Jub Phokthavi.

JRS partnered with the Cambodia Ministry of Social Action. Top Tith was sent by the Government as its representative in the beginning administration.

13th July 1990, the Government of Cambodia allowed the opening of Banteay Prieb.

16th January 1991, Banteay Prieb started transforming the old army camp buildings into school buildings. Also, four wooden houses (two high stilt houses and two ground floor houses for wheelchair users) were constructed.

n its early beginnings, the environment in Banteay Prieb was not conducive for working or learning. It was an army camp before it became a school so it still retained its military atmosphere. Adding to this predicament was the dilapidated roof of the school building. The rainy season was a big problem. In 1993, the teachers and students decided to renovate the roof.

When the renovation was finished, the aura of the school changed. The remnants from war disappeared. That event was remembered as a celebration of unity because the construction of the roof was done through teamwork among the students and teachers. Such a unity became the seed of peace planted during that significant moment in the history of the Center.

Fr. Jub Phokthavi S.J. (Former Director) “The roof of the school building was very old. We needed to fix it.It included cement and metal works so we were not sure if we could make it. We only had our students as our labor force. Well, we did it. In fact, the construction was cheaper and faster. It only took us a little over a month to finish everything. During the construction, everyone was filled with energy, helped one another... And when the construction was completed, everyone was happy to see the fruits of their labor. I think we did it very nicely. We celebrated and had a party together. It was a good experience for us to work as a team.”

Em Mary (Assistant Manager - lathe Operator Purchaser, Student of Batch 4)

“At that time, I was a student in welding class. We suffered a lot during rainy season.

We could not do anything when rainwater dripped from the roof of our classroom. So when I heard about the idea of renovating the old roof, I was happy. I was willing to help. I thought that if we had the new roof, I would be able to study better and my skill would surely improve.”

Chrek Vuthda (Electronic Teacher, Former Welding Teacher) “What I found impressive, and what other people also admired, was that the students did all the construction. The 15 students of the welding class were filled with pride, studying under the roof they made themselves. The succeeding students were also very grateful to those who had gone ahead of them because of the appropriate learning atmosphere they now enjoyed.”

n 4 July 1993, Banteay Prieb opened its Mekong Wheelchair workshop. The Wheelchair was named “Mekong Wheelchair” because most of its users lived along the Mekong riverbanks.

A British organization called Motivation helped to layout the groundwork for its production: gathering documents, researching various disabilities, and designing three kinds of wheelchair for paraplegia, polio and amputee users. It was important to note that the wheelchair model that the center had that time was a wheelchair design from abroad.

Everything was made in iron. However, the center conducted a research and found out that combining wood and iron was better. It was more practical and flexible, more adapted to Cambodia.

During its first year, the Center produced seventy-two wheelchairs. It has gone a long way since then. As of 2011, the Center has distributed more than 15,000 Mekong Wheelchairs throughout the country. The production of the Mekong Wheelchair makes Banteay Prieb a place where many persons with disabilities lives are given hope.

Not only that, it also gives pride to all the staff and graduates, as they see themselves catalysts of change for others, especially those with disability.

“The Mekong Wheelchair is a sign of change brought about by empowering people who were once immobile and excluded from society. A child with disability who could not go to school, could now go to school; a person who used to just lie on the floor, can now move around and make their own living. Their lives are changed. I see myself in the middle distributing these beautiful signs to persons with disabilities. I believe that all the staff of workshop also sees what I see. Everyone is working hard for the lives of others, especially for persons with disabilities.”

“It was a privilege to be there when the Mekong Wheelchair Workshop began. As a physical therapist, my task was to go to villages and see to the needs of persons with disabilities. I was moved with pity at their condition; they were immobile and could not do anything. There was a lot of stress. Many of them just stayed inside their own houses because they were so ashamed of their condition. I thought these people needed care. Then, Banteay Prieb gave them that care. In my eighteen years here, I witnessed many lives improve.

Many eventually overcame their shame.

Whenever I see this transformation, I feel so happy and proud.”

“I have been using the Mekong Wheelchair since 2003. It was a great help for me who has paralyzed legs because of a bomb explosion accident. I used to stay in the house because I just couldn’t go anywhere.

Thanks to Mekong Wheelchair… Actually, it was my first wheelchair. And I really find it very appropriate given my situation and condition. My Mekong wheelchair never did disappoint me. I could see it anywhere, even on uneven muddy or rocky road. I feel like I am more independent now.”

n 1993, the production workshops were set up to provide work opportunities for graduates of the Center. It also became part of the Center’s training program as a place for students to practice their skills. Although these production workshops were present since the beginning of Banteay Prieb, it was only in 1999 that they were institutionalized. The working structure was systematized; a marketing scheme was organized. The efficiency and effectiveness of the workshop improved.

At present, there are four production workshops: sculpture, sewing, welding and carpentry. All have expanded significantly. For example, the sculpture workshop was only a small shop attached to the Rural Development Project when it started, but now it has its own building where many alumni are working. The Center believed that as these production workshops continue to operate with proficiency, they also continue to provide work opportunities for the alumni.

Fr. Kike said, "When the students saw their friends, who came to Banteay Prieb before them, already employed there, they were inspired to study harder." Bun Chheng, an alumni and a staff of the Welding workshop also expressed, "I'm proud at the thought that the profit from the production workshops can also support the students."

Last letter of Bro. Richie to Fr. Totet Banaynal, dated October 13 and 14, 1996.

R

ichard Michael R. Fernando S.J., also known as Bro. Richie, was a Jesuit scholastic who died in an accident when a hand grenade exploded on October 17, 1996. Before his death, he was involved in giving psychosocial care to students in the Center. He spent time with them; listening, sharing life stories, taking care of them when he could.

One of the students in the Center, Sarom, was hooked into drinking and gambling. The school authority advised him to change his ways, but he chose not to. So it was decided that he was to be sent home. He was very angry with the decision so he took a hand grenade, went in front of the office and classroom, and threatened everyone. Bro. Richie came and grabbed Sarom from behind. He bought time and told everyone to get out, away from the danger. Sadly, after some time, the grenade fell from Sarom’s hand and exploded. Bro. Richie was hurt and later died from his wounds.

This incident is always remembered as a brave sacrifice of one to save the lives of many.

Fr. JubPhokthavi S.J. (Former Director) “Bro. Richie was one of the first who went out and ate with the students. They all loved him. A year after his death, I visited Sarom in jail. He said, ‘I never wanted to kill or hurt Bro. Richie. He was my best friend.

When I was in trouble, he was there to talk to me, to encourage me, to spend time with me…’ His death was a shock for all of us. It also made us reflect about our relationships and how to be with the people. It was a reminder that working in Banteay Prieb is not just a job, but a ministry with people we share our lives with.”

Chum Somonn (Sculpture Teacher, Student of Batch 8) “When Bro. Richie was alive, he would wake up at 5:00 AM and visit the students inside their houses. He used to exercise with them, especially those with health problems and needed regular physical exertions. At the time, I was a student whose leg had just been amputated, so things were harder for me. He took care of me more, and so I became a lot closer to him. He would say that he is not an elder or a superior, but just a simple person, like a friend.

When he died, I was sad and cried almost every night. We lost a good person. We decided to build a monument for him made from palm tree. Later, we made a monument from stone with money his mother donated. I like taking care of that monument; whenever I do so, I remember him.”

Sch. Jun-G Bargayo (Jesuit Regent - Philippine Province) “Fifteen years ago, I was moved to tears when I read about his story on the newspaper. I felt the sincerity of his love and sacrifice for others. Again, I was moved to tears when I first saw the video featuring his death. I felt the grief of his family and the people he loved in Cambodia.

Once again, I was moved to tears when I personally saw the hole on the floor where he died and the monument built for him. I felt so blessed to be a Jesuit regent assigned here in Banteay Prieb. I hope that like Bro. Richie, I may discover where my heart is, fall in love with the poor, and have the courage to live and die for them.“

Welcoming Female Students

W

hen it started, Banteay Prieb was a school that was only for men. The courses taught skills in traditional jobs for men like welding, mechanics and carpentry. At the time, it was thought that there were more men who had physical disabilities because of war, and therefore needed more help.

Later, the Center realized that it needed to include women in the school programs. The first group of women (two from electronics, three from weaving, and ten from sewing) graduated from the Center in 1997. It was a pleasure to see them on the stage receiving their certificate. That year, twenty women joined the literacy training program.

As of 2011, there have been more than 300 female students enrolled in agriculture, sculpture or sewing courses. For many years now, the Center gives learning and training opportunities to all who have physical disabilities regardless of gender.

T

he Outreach Team visited villages not only to recruit new students, but also to offer assistance to graduates who needed it. The first team was composed of Frs. Kike and Jean Marie.

At the start, the growing team and their activities for the alumni were not very systematic. In 1999, Fr. Totet Banaynal, who was the director of the outreach team at the time, put a system in place and reorganized the bureaucracy. He set up an office, made a database of all graduates and created monitoring strategies to record the employment status of all alumni. The team makes sure to keep in touch with alumni for at least five years after their graduation.

The outreach team continues to improve and play a crucial role in Banteay Prieb.

"What we were doing was not new. It was just that before, the work of the teacher was mixed with outreach work because the teachers and the outreach team were composed of the same people. Many works in the Center lacked focus... When we set up a separate team for the outreach program, things changed for the better.

The school could focus on developing and implementing its curriculum. The outreach team looked after the needs of graduates and their families in their villages. This was very helpful not only for our graduates but also for the students."

“In the past, the graduates found it difficult to find a job. No one supported them; they had to do everything by themselves. To respond to that need, we set up a team to monitor and support them. Through the team, we were able to get more information from the graduates like what they do, how they work, how their current life is, etc.

As the graduates increased, the outreach team also expanded. We were able to follow up on over a thousand students up to now and over 80% of them are employed. This is very useful because by giving examples of how life can be after their graduation, the teachers are inspired to teach the new students and the outreach program staff encourage the current ones. Through these stories, we show that we are always with them. We show them that they can join in the community like ordinary people. ” Duong Sokhun (Student of Batch19) "Banteay Prieb helped me not just with my studies, but with many other things as well.

They helped build a new house for my family. After I graduated, they helped me open my own shop where I could make and repair clothes. A teacher gave me a loan and allowed me to borrow a sewing machine, and even gives me tips on how to work. When I got sick, they help take care of me. I have graduated 6 years ago, but I can still ask them for help. I feel reassured and encouraged because of them. They are my second family. "

ince 2003, Klieng Vann has been a principal of Banteay Prieb. He played an essential role with other directors and staff. He started as a student enrolled in an electricity course in 1993, then became an electricity and electronic subject teacher, then assistant director and finally, principal.

Mr. Vann’s journey has a huge historical significance. His advancement mirrored the journey of the Cambodians as they took ownership and led the Center.

There are now ninety Cambodian teachers and staff who are taking the lead in terms of work in the Center. A director from Jesuit Service Cambodia (JSC) and several foreign volunteers are their advisers and support.

Sr. Denise Coghlan (JRS Director) “The dream of JRS was to have persons with disabilities become leaders of Banteay Prieb. This was quite counter cultural at the time; a strange myth persisted that those with disability were not capable of leading.

By 2003, Father Joaqui and the team had a meeting which discussed the need to broaden the management team of the Center. We named persons with disabilities who had been leaders for many years in specific formal roles. We also drew up a management team structure which included Top Tith as Centre Director and Klieng Vann as training school director with support structures in place. Klieng Vann was especially good at coping with crises like with the death of students. He gave many hours to the care of the Centre after official hours ended and was very reliable. ” Top Tith (Center Director) “Fr. Joaqui had always wanted one of the students to become a principal and thought that Klieng Vann was the best person for the job. I agreed with his decision. Ever since he started to work for me, I have been impressed with his career.

He never made any problems, and also he mixed well with others. I feel that he always tries to work for and with persons with disabilities.”

Klieng Vann (School Director, Student of Batch3) “When I became an assistant director in 1999, I was surprised but not too worried.

But when I was asked to be the principal, I wasn’t sure whether I could do it or not.

I was just a graduate of the Center, I wondered many times why I had to be the principal. There were many teachers who taught me before but to become the head teacher was a difficult decision. After I became the principal, there were a lot of people, teachers, staff and others, who supported me. I cultivated a good relationship with them because whenever we work together, I say to myself “I'm a just normal staff, not a special one.” So I have been able to work without any major difficulties. I feel happy to work here as a principal. And I'm very glad that I have a disability, because I was able to work here and help other persons with disabilities like me.”

ince Banteay Prieb has always been a major supporter of the Ban the Landmine Campaign (which received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997), on November 14, 2004, the center hosted the launch of the Land Mine Monitor for 2004 Report.

The activity was a campaign to stop producing and using landmines that caused disaster not only in Cambodia but in other countries in the world. Locally, it sought unity in the entire country to get rid of the existing-planted landmines and to provide assistance to landmine victims. Many organizations (government and non-government) attended the said event.

One of the highlights was the presence of the King of Cambodia, Preah Bat Samdech Preah Boromneath Norodom Sihamony. It was actually the first public appearance of His Majesty after his coronation as King of the country. During the King’s speech, he mentioned that “This organization has made great efforts to help persons with disabilities in Cambodia… providing them with vocational training so that they can find a place in the society.” His Majesty also expressed how grateful he was. “I am so happy to see persons with disabilities participating in this ceremony, well-dressed and with smiling faces.” Because of this event, Banteay Prieb caught the attention of many government officials and ambassadors, as well as local and foreign journalists.

ecause all students with disabilities study and live together for a year, there has always been a need for psychosocial support. The psychosocial care teachers who were in charge of it were mostly foreigners, usually Jesuit scholastics. There was a time when Cambodian teachers did this for the students, but it was an additional work and did not work out. Nevertheless, Fr. Joaqui thought that the presence of house teachers were necessary. He began assigning house teachers to the school, and started a program where they could meet with him regularly every Thursday.

In 2009, the Cambodian staff started to take charge of this.

It started with Yun Pheary, a female teacher who is also a graduate of the Center in 2008. Chheang Sean Hak, a male teacher and an alumnus, joined the team a year later. He and Pheary completed the psychosocial care in the center.

Hak took care of the psychosocial needs of the male students, while Pheary took care of the females. Through their team, the support system of Banteay Prieb became even more professional. Understanding and communicating about the student’s conditions improved.

The students can now open their mind and hearts, share and process the experiences they’re going through.

ew products from the sculpture and sewing production workshops have improved tremendously, with many high quality items. Before, visitors who came to the Center were the main market for the goods so the Center moved its shop near the gate to be more accessible.

As time passed, more and more products needed to be sold.

In 2010, Work Together Foundation sent a consulting team called uGET to help expand the market for products of the center. It was agreed that Banteay Prieb would open a new shop in Phnom Penh.

The new shop is very different from the existing one in the Center. It is attached to a coffee shop and has facilities for rendezvous, exhibits and meetings. The shop also creates more job opportunities for graduates of the Center. It was just as a venue to promote the products, but also became a place of advocacy for Banteay Prieb.

It is located near Beoung Keng Kang market in Phnom Penh and welcomes all to visit.

Prak Pheareak (Production Manager) “At present, our production staff are more confident. We have improved over the years and I believe we are now ready for a higher level of production. In terms of quality, our products can already compete with the other handicrafts produced in the country. Our customers are growing each year. Our new shop will surely make our products accessible to more clients. We keep the challenge to continuously improve the quality of our products. This way we can ensure the stability of our sales.”

Fr. Indon Oh (Director) “If we could sell more products, we could effectively achieve our two original goals: creating more jobs for our graduates and returning more income to the school. In order to create as many jobs as possible, we aggressively planned for a marketing strategy that is both distinctive and new.

We have gone through professional consultations. A shop in Phnom Penh is our new venture. The new shop is our statement that we care for the future of our production and the Center itself. The decision-making became easier because the Work Together Foundation agreed to support the new shop's funding for two years.”

Jin-hee Ryu (Production Designer) “The new shop is not only for production. I see meaning in the place beyond its sales.

We want to sell coffee so that there will be interactions and exchanges of information between everyone, especially the staff and customers. But it can also serve as a venue where our staff can gain confidence and restore their dignity as persons with disabilities… They are active participants and members of Cambodian society. It can be a place where they can share their lives with people who are very different from them. For example, in the exhibit room, our staff can introduce their very own creation to the customers. I hope that through this they’ll be able to express themselves with more pride, creativity, and open a window for the world to see.”

After the death of my father, I worked in a textile factory to support my family. I had polio so my skills were limited and I could not use a sewing machine. I worked as an assistant for the other workers. At that time, I felt so frustrated and pitied myself because of my disability.

My heart leapt for joy when a teacher from Banteay Prieb said I could use a sewing machine. So I went to Banteay Prieb and studied there. My happiest moment was when I opened my own shop in my village after my graduation. My neighbors appreciated the quality of the clothes I made for them. Customers kept coming in.

In fact nowadays, even during the rainy season, the works go on continuously. I am helping my family now, thanks to Banteay Prieb. I am financially supporting my siblings.

The place transformed me. I had a very low self esteem before but now I have grown to trust myself and become confident in the things I do best.

In 1984, I was a soldier stationed along the Cambodia-Thailand border when I had a landmine accident and lost my left leg. Life became very difficult for me after that. I felt that I had nothing, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know how to earn my own living. The toughest thing I experienced was discrimination from people around me because of my disability. I would say that life then was very upsetting and depressing.

Everything changed when I came to Banteay Prieb. As a student there, I slowly gained my confidence back. My life became active again, I enjoyed every moment of it.

After my studies, I became a teacher in the center. Being a teacher in Banteay Prieb was a delight. At first, I doubted myself if I could do it. But as time went by, I saw how much I helped my fellow disabled as they strove to integrate themselves in society. I could say that I am genuinely happy with life now. I know that I have overcome the feeling of being weighed down especially when people discriminate against me. I feel that I am no longer disabled. I hope that my students will soon feel the same way as I do now.

My love story with Banteay Prieb began when I was twelve years old. That time, I received my first Mekong wheelchair. I suffered from polio since I was three so I was not able to move my legs since then. That was why receiving such the Mekong wheelchair was a blessing. I thought I had new legs. I could easily move around the house and go even further, to outside.

In 2004, I came to Banteay Prieb to study. After graduation, I worked in the sculpture production workshop for 2 years. It was in that workshop where I fell in love with Sokhea.

He was actually my classmate but it was only when we started working together that he captured my heart. We got married and had a daughter. And I am pregnant again now.

Though I don’t work in Banteay Prieb anymore, I continue to make sculptures and sell them there. This way, I am able to earn at home and take care of my daughter at the same time.Banteay Prieb has been the place where I found the beauty of love: for myself, my work and my family. My love story with it has not ended. It continuesto exist with my lovely family. Now, l continue to make good sculptures with my husband. And this will never end, even after our eyes go weak. I believe thatwe will live happily together until the end of our lives.

I am having a blissful stay in Banteay Prieb. As a house teacher, I feel good because I am able to help persons with disabilities. I feel happiness with my students; sharing and listening to stories from our life experiences. I don’t only help them, they also help me achieve fullness in life. Doing quality work as a welder makes me feel proud. My welding skill, which I learned here, has enabled me to support my family.

All the things I do in Banteay Prieb has lead me to what is essential in life; togetherness.

What is most important for me now is a life shared with—and service enjoyed from—one another. I am living a new life here; a life with dignity and joy.

After my graduation in Banteay Prieb, I went back to my hometown. I started to raise animals, applying my learning from the center. I also started sharing what I learned to villagers from various communities. I became a mentor, teaching and guiding different organizations (e.g, NRKPNM, VCD and AD in Kampong Cham province) about proper animal raising. And sometimes, I am called to go to another province to do some special projects regarding animal husbandry.

With this kind of work, I earn enough. More than my earnings, what makes me even more proud is the chance to share the knowledge I’ve gained from Banteay Prieb to my community. Whenever they encounter some problem, they run to me for advice. The villagers seem to consider me as their teacher now. This boosts my confidence and makes me proud.

CommunityLife

kareQagcab; The Dignity of all Human Beings In Banteay Prieb, we believe in the inherent value of each human person. It is not so much that persons with disabilities find their worth upon finding they can function and work for themselves and others.

Rather, that they are shown worth and treated with dignity --- regardless of functionality --- this is what motivates them to learn and grow and take part in the life of community.

An Integrated Approach to Human Development The center’s programs holistically try to address physical, psycho-spiritual, social and economic needs of persons with disabilities, while also working to correct unjust structures in their family or village environments. Educating and training persons with disabilities is not enough. We must work to correct the cultures and mindsets that do them wrong in the first place.

Cambodians helping Cambodians, PWD helping PWD While valuing and welcoming the diversity of backgrounds of volunteers and staff that run the center, at Banteay Prieb, Cambodians and persons with disabilities are encouraged to take front and center stage, especially in the pastoral care and psycho-social support given to the students, and in advocating for themselves and other persons with disabilties. This is based on the belief that “persons with disabilities are the most qualified and best equipped” to do so and helps to imbibe and rebuild the spirit of inter-dependence and trust among Cambodians which was systematically destroyed in the dark years of the Khmer Rouge.

ommunity life is a central component of the Center’s programs. Students are housed in simple traditional Cambodian-style homes in groups of 10-12 persons. There they live together, help each other cook, clean the house, and care for one another under the supervision of assigned teachers and volunteers. The houses are clustered like a small Cambodian village, and at the center of all the houses is the space for students to come together for sports, dancing, and gardening.

Students experience 1-2 years of community life with strong psycho-social support. This builds confidence, establishes lasting friendships and imparts a life-changing sense of acceptance and love.

Health care There are nurses who come to the Center 3 times a week to check-up the students. Hospitalization is provided for those who are seriously ill.

Support related to PWD Diagnoses of PWD, provision of physiotherapy, distribution of prosthetics and wheelchairs to those who need them.

The graduates of sewing, mechanical and electronic classes can already manage their own workshop with their families in their respective villages, or get a job in various factories and workshops. For those graduates from the agriculture class, they can do farming and veterinary works in their villages, or in other agriculture programs managed by NGOs. On the other hand, the graduates of the sculpture class can return home and support themselves by making wooden sculptures that they can supply to Banteay Prieb shops or any souvenir shops. Nevertheless, there are a number of graduates who are now working in Banteay Prieb.

Inside Banteay Prieb, there is a beautiful small shop that displays and sells the many handmade sculptures and handicrafts produced by the graduates of the Center.

Just recently, a new shop in Phnom Penh was opened. It is not only another showcase of the Center’s products, but a haven where people (Banteay Prieb students and alumni, donors and benefactors, Khmer people and foreigners) meet and exchange opinions and ideas, smiles and laughter, and hopes and dreams.

With these goals in mind, we want to envision a new future. Firstly, we desire to increase Banteay Prieb’s capacity as a training center for persons with physical disabilities. To do this we will improve our program, not only for our students, but for our staff and teachers as well, by taking cognizance of the developing needs of Cambodia and its people and to foster the ability of our students to become economically independent and to be of service themselves to their local community.

Secondly, in view of the fact that welfare services for Cambodians with physical disabilities have recently decreased, Banteay Prieb pledges itself to take a more proactive stance in improving these services for such people. To date, Banteay Prieb has served students only from the six provinces nearest to Phnom Penh. Our goal for the future is to extend our services to people from every province of Cambodia.

is very grateful for having had the opportunity to serve Cambodians with disabilities over the past 20 years. We are hopeful we can continue to serve as we move into the future. We look forward to continuing our efforts to achieve the fullness of life for these deserving Cambodians.

On this occasion of our 20th anniversary, we recall the mission and values we have espoused to date: * to honor the dignity of all human persons, especially those whose disabilities make this difficult,

Thirdly, Banteay Prieb’s original vision was to be available to and to share the suffering of the poorest of those with disabilities. Nowadays, however, persons with intellectual disabilities comprise the majority of the disadvantaged poor of this country. Thus, it is our desire to make these people too our concern through research and consultation. Our aspiration is to develop a broader program to include services for all such people.

* through an integrated approach to human development, * by Cambodians helping Cambodians and persons with disabilties helping persons with disabilities

Chhem Saran (Sewing Production Staff) I hope the new shop in Phnom Penh will introduce more people to our products, increase the number of sewing workshop staff, and diversify the products we make. Presently, Jinhee is teaching us how to design and shares her technical skills but we will have to work independently of her in the future. I hope we can learn with enthusiasm until we can do the process by ourselves. Also, I hope more women will come to Banteay Prieb in the future to learn and work there. At present we have more men than women. Many women have disabilities from accidents, and a lot of them lack the courage to step out of their house.

On such cases, we have to consider methods of vocational training and special support. We are not sure how our system will be 5 or 10 years later, but I hope we would still be able to help those who are in need.

Fr. Jinhyuk Park (Former Volunteer) I wish that Banteay Prieb will continue to be the place where weaknesses are respected, accepted and where human dignity is fully respected. In this way, the Center can contribute to the transformation of Cambodian society where the weak and disadvantaged are integrated into society.

Kim Soryoung (Social Worker) Banteay Prieb is just like home. This is not only for students and staff who lived in here but also for volunteers and guests who all come from different countries. The harmonious peace we feel through the trees, flowers and people in here reveals aim and value of the Center. Perhaps in 10, 20 years, the program and the people will have changed, however, I hope Banteay Prieb will continue to be a place that spreads hope.

anteay Prieb is a Khmer word for Center for the Dove. The logo was drawn by Koy who was an art class teacher in the Ampil refugee camp of Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS). He was also one of the refugee from Cambodia. He made the logo in the late 1980’s to be used on the graduation shirts of students in the camp. When Banteay Prieb opened, the pioneering team decided to use Koy’s design.

The logo perfectly represents the identity of the Center. If you take a closer look, you could see sketches of Khmer characters ( ) beautifully integrated in the dove.

These words mean"Everything for Peace". Everything in Banteay Prieb is for peace. All the efforts done in the center are dedicated towards the realization of peace: personal, family, communal and national.

r. Marie Jeanne Ath, a Sister of Providence, was one of the founding members of Banteay Prieb. She died in France on 20th of December, 2010 due to cancer.

In the early days, Sr. Ath was driven, passionate and down to earth; a true humble servant of the poor. She was also a very sociable person, a team player. When Banteay Prieb started, she visited the surrounding villages, gathering useful information that would help set up appropriate programs in the Center. After consultations with the people, she came up with plans for community development. This marked the beginning of the Rural Development Project in Ang Snoul District (RDAS) in 1991. Long Sophal, Sr. Ath's co-coordinator in RDAS, shared that "Sr. Ath always thought that she was as poor as the villagers and her ultimate goal was to help them." She formed the Farmers Solidarity and the Khmer Women Associations where she hoped to empower the poor and enact the community development plans that were made.

Sr. Ath was also responsible for the beautiful and peaceful environment in the Center. She planted most of the flowers and trees. She also started the repairs of the buildings. Chea Sockun, who once worked with Sr. Ath said, "The wonderful environment now enjoyed in Banteay Prieb was a gift from her."

She will always be remembered as a woman with warm heart, who loved the poor dearly.

After our graduation, we parted ways. I went back to my hometown and Klieng Vann became a teacher at the Center.

For more than a year we did not communicate with each other. We did our own respective works.

20 years of Service in Banteay Prieb

by Men Yuth

ne of the best gifts that I received from Banteay Prieb was my friendship with Klieng Vann. We first met when we were both students of the basic course in 1993. After finishing the course, the students were divided into two groups and we ended up in the same group. We were asked to study the electricity course. A year of that made my friendship with him grow deeper. We did almost everything together.

I was glad to be asked to return by Fr. Jub for a monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work.

At that time, they needed help with some documents for a proposed electronics course. So I met my friend again. He was teaching an electronics course at the Center. I asked Fr. Jub if I could study under him for six months and he allowed me. My teacher was my friend. After studying, I went back to my hometown for a short while. Fr. Jub then hired me as a teacher in the electronics course with Klieng Vann. Since then, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been inseparable.

In 2003, Klieng Vann was appointed as the principal of the school. We celebrated. I was so happy for him. I never envied him or doubted his ability because I knew he deserved it.

I know him very well. We shared the same aspiration which was to work in Banteay Prieb and help those who are disabled like us. I will always support him.

We are still very close friends. Sometimes we find ourselves arguing during meetings but that does not affect our friendship. He supports me now that I am the head of the outreach team. It is difficult at times especially now that we hold bigger responsibilities, but what keeps the work bearable, aside from its fruits, is the fact that I am working with my friend.

s Banteay Prieb celebrates its 20th anniversary, what it actually celebrates are the beautiful and unforgettable experiences of staff, students and visitors in the center. These memories are the significant milestones in the transformation and improvements of the lives of many who have been in the 20 year adventure of Banteay Prieb. Many came in the center, and yet after certain periods of time, went home to their respective provinces and countries. But there are two precious people who have never left. They were here in the beginning and are still here up to now. If only we could see what they have seen, hear what they have heard, and feel what they have felt. If only they could put words in every wonderful experiences that they have witnessed. How privilege they were being part of the laughter and tears of all individuals whose lives are being touched and changed by the center. These two precious ones are Top Tith, the director of center, and Chrek Vuthda, a teacher of electronics. Congratulations to them for their 20 years of service in Banteay Prieb.
