Dear TPO's Operation Unchain Project supporter,
It is my pleasure to share more story via GlobalGiving on mental health care for Cambodian publised by Phnom Penh Post in this month.
In the attaced article "Chained up, out of sight: Desperate families often keep mentally ill relatives in squalid conditions" highligt about the suffering of mentally ill patients, the difficulty in their family as well as the work of TPO Cambodia for those patients .
Dr.Sotheara Chhim,TPO's Exeutive Director told the press that:
"The project currently treats 56 patients in nine provinces, including Kandal. Of those 56, 40 are now unshackled. “The more support from the family, the quicker the patients can be unchained” .
"But Operation Unchain’s funds are dwindling fast, and TPO is focused on treating current patients, rather than recruiting new ones".
“There are more patients who request treatment from us, but we cannot offer it yet due to financial difficulty”
For detail story, please find in attached link.
If you would like to support our project again, one great day to do this will be next week, from April 3rd through April 7th, GlobalGiving will match donations up to $50 at 50%, with $50,000 in matching funds availables.
Thank you very much for your interesting and supporting for our project. Please feel free to contact us with any questions, comments or ideas at admin@tpocambodia.org.
