Jek is strengthening her Khmer Braille teaching, massage, English, assistive technology and independent living skills as she prepares to support others through education.
Khmer Braille teaching
Sponsorship contributes to shared housing, daily living, transport, continued training and regular DYP follow-up during the project year.
Jek joined the DYP Learning Center after several years without access to further education or training. At DYP, she strengthened her Khmer Braille literacy, giving her greater access to learning and a stronger foundation for independence.
She now specialises in Khmer Braille, English, assistive technology and massage. In addition to her own studies, she teaches Khmer Braille to other DYP students, sharing her knowledge and building practical teaching experience.
During the Semi-Independent Living Project year, Jek will further develop her Khmer literacy teaching while managing more of her schedule, travel, shared household duties, budgeting and daily decisions with regular DYP guidance.
