Engage - Cambodia 2010
We are delighted that God has led us to an opportunity to partner with Cambodia Action (formerly SAO Cambodia).
Previous summer teams have been able to see literacy and language work carried out within an alliance called International Cooperation Cambodia (ICC). After the success of the first Engage Cambodia team in 2009, Wycliffe and Cambodia Action are working together in the UK to recruit and run a joint team for a second year. We are pleased to be able to take advantage of the benefits of partnership in this way.
