Our project partner Jesuit Service Cambodia made the video above to show the wonderful work they have done for children living with disabilities in the last year.
Light of Mercy Home (LMH) is a home centre for children living with disabilities in Cambodia. Here the children receive a formal education and live in community together.
LMH encourages individual talents and interests through extra-curriculum classes such as computer skills, music, dancing, tae kwan do, and simple craft skills, depending on an individual’s abilities.
Makara is a student at Light of Mercy Home who was born with a hearing impairment. Growing up this meant he did not go to school and became isolated and excluded from the community.
From an isolated child who was unable to communicate with others and had no real prospects for an independent future, he’s now blossomed into a confident teenager with many new friends and new interests (including gardening).
