Founder + Secretary-General of the CNVLD “Throughout my career, in all fields I have worked in, I have placed an emphasis on the involvement of the disadvantaged”.
Arrived in Cambodia in 1996 as an Australian Volunteer International (AusAID) with a mandate to work with Cambodian disability groups in order to generate awareness – both intra and internationally – of the insidious root cause of disability in Cambodia: Landmines. This was to be paired with high profile projects to draw attention to the huge problems – severe physical and psychological damage compounded by social and economic marginalization - facing disabled individuals in Cambodia. Has been working towards these aims with the CNVLD for the last twelve years in Cambodia using the unique power of sport to foster social cohesion and civil society development through team sport
Recipient: UNESCO International Fairplay Award
