 Khmer Sign Language Online Dictionary
Krousar Thmey
CAMBODIA

Krousar Thmey was the first Cambodian foundation to assisting disabled children. They provide disabled Cambodian children with educational materials that are in harmony with their beliefs.  The materials are respectful of the Cambodian traditions and beliefs. Their purpose is to help children develop and blossom into responsible adults. Krousar Thmey takes great care that its aid neither creates disharmony between a child and his relatives and friends, nor creates privileged or dependent children.

Krousar Thmey was the first NGO to propose education for deaf children. They had to develop the tools necessary for good communication, so teams worked on adapting American Sign Language for use in the Khmer language.

Our school is located close to the Greek and Bulgarian borders of Turkey, in the beautiful city of Edirne. Edirne is considered to be the door of Turkey that opens into Europe.
