Epic is a truly remarkable organisation. I have had a great day meeting all their fantastic staff and volunteers. The young people on their programmes are amazing too, working hard to train to be workshop facilitators and to lead workshops in local schools. There is an obvious under-representation of disabled people and associated issues in Cambodia and Epic really does go a long way to tackling some of these. There are great classes with learning disabled little kids which they would never get normally. Today a group of deaf/hearing Americans doing a tour of asia visited - they took part in a brilliant workshop led by the trainees, it was hot work and I am sure that those who know me will have a laugh at me doing a dance workshop!
The food here is good too and Kampot is very friendly the only thing I find a little seedy is the number of middle aged men on 'holiday' here picking up young women or worse - filthy pigs. worse in Phenom Pehn but still present here, these generally overweight weirdos are very low indeed.
