“Motivated by the Equal Access program, Success Starts with You, we have dared to speak up for what is important to us and criticize our local government’s failure to address what we view as the most pressing problems in our village.” Hang Sopheap, Prey Thoum, Prey Veng Province, Cambodia |
“My fellow listening club members and I have been actively participating in drafting the commune development plan. Motivated by the Equal Access program, Success Starts with You, we have dared to speak up for what is important to us and criticize our local government’s failure to address what we view as the most pressing problems in our village. For example, one listening group member successfully advocated for the construction of a road to the nearby village and to our rice paddies and I have approached our commune council to construct a new irrigation system to supply our crops. In the past we were afraid to speak out. But now, together, we have learned that we have the power to tackle the challenges our community faces.” —Hang Sopheap, Prey Thoum, Prey Veng Province, Cambodia |
