Community Field Visit

Among the two weeks studying in Cambodia on people with disabilities, Turning Point Program made a few visits to people with disabilities in various communities around Phnom Penh and Kandal province on August 23, 2015. The main purpose of the visit is to study about the real situation of persons with disabilities: their daily living and activities. Additionally, trainees of Turning Point Program wanted to learn about what those people with disabilities can do to support their living, what obstacles they have faced, how much education they have, and how Mainstream Association from Japan can help them. Furthermore, the members from Mainstream Association shared good life experience of themselves and the situation of people with disabilities in Japan to all people with disabilities they visited; also, they encouraged them to go out to see their friends in community to refresh their mind. Generally, Mainstream Association members want all of them to have better lives and to fully involve with the society.
