A Word of Thanks

On behalf of the Peace Bridges team, we want to thank David and Holly Ketchum and Mrs. Ma Somethea for this excellent and informative report.

We are also sincerely grateful to the four anonymous graduates of our training who were willing to openly discuss the joys and challenges of family life. The insights of these women and men provided our team with a unique opportunity to understand more about family life in Cambodia, critically reflect on our practices and begin to understand how Peace Bridges can positively impact upon families into the future.

For too many people, the family is a place of abuse and fear rather than a safe place of belonging. Our hope is that this small research project will be a useful resource for the many Cambodian women and men committed to the challenge of building peace and resilience in families.

Peace Bridges welcomes feedback and constructive criticism of this report. We recognize this report is but a small insight into family life here, yet hope all readers find something helpful.

Yours sincerely,

Mr. ChanMony, Director

Mr. Barry Higgins, Advisor
