Aara & Bronagh, two newly qualified Speech and Language Therapists from the University of London, volunteered at CSC for several months. Here is their blog:
Over the past three months, we’ve been volunteering at CSC and other organisations in Cambodia, supporting children with cleft lip, palate, and hearing impairments as well as providing support and training to other professionals. CSC provides more than a hundred free cleft surgeries every year, supported by Smile Train, and many children require continued speech and language therapy. It’s been inspiring to work with the staff and further strengthen and support the development of their Speech and Language Therapy Department. We have fully enjoyed embracing the Cambodian culture, language, and healthcare system. It has been an incredibly rewarding experience, and we’ve enjoyed meeting and supporting families from across the country. Every day has been different, and we have learnt so much during our time here at CSC. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to further our knowledge and experience as newly qualified Speech and Language Therapists.
A huge thank you to the CSC team for making us feel so welcome. We’re excited to see how Speech and Language Therapy continues to grow in Cambodia!
