To all our supporters,

It looks like my goals may come true faster than expected.  I was planning to open a Community Mental Health Center by 2011 after my Psychological Conference Cambodia in November 2010.  It now looks like we will be able to open the doors sometime this coming spring.

Awareness of mental illnesses growing in Cambodia

From the Phnom Penh Post in Cambodia:

The life of 53-year-old Sok Mach fell apart when her marriage failed and she lost one of her children to a preventable childhood disease.

When she began suffering incapacitating pains, she assumed she was simply delirious with grief. Unable to get her life back on track, she never suspected that she was suffering from an undiagnosed psychological disorder.
