Max Simon Has a Day Without Speech
Story
Communicating with others is at the heart of being human.
In Cambodia, more than 600,000 people have a communication or swallowing disorder, yet health services for them are nearly nonexistent.
OIC Cambodia, a special project under the local NGO CABDICO, is working towards a Cambodia where each of these people receives the help they need to communicate with those around them, and lead full and happy lives.
I am giving up speech for 9 hrs from 9-5 during work and during my touch football match, and instead, communicate through other methods, such as hand gestures, facial expressions, writing or the use of technology.
By giving up speech, I am raising awareness about the children in Cambodia with communication and swallowing disabilities.
Funds raised by my Day Without Speech challenge will go towards including children with communication disabilities better in the classroom and creating a university program to train Cambodians to be speech therapists.
With your support, children and families will receive the right support to communicate with each other and others.

OIC Cambodia (Education) (Global Development Group – J703N)
OIC Cambodia (Education) is a Global Development Group approved aid and development project (J703N) which aims to address the gap in health services in Cambodia for more than 600,000 people with a communication or swallowing disability.
Communicating with others is at the heart of being human and helping people communicate is at the heart of what we do. We are working towards a Cambodia where each of these people receives the speech therapy services they need to communicate with those around them, and lead full and happy lives.
We have two significant goals to addressing the speech therapy needs in Cambodia:
- To train teachers in speech therapy-based inclusive education to better include children with communication disabilities into schools. This project will benefit 180 teachers and 5,400 children with communication disabilities across six provinces in Cambodia.
- To graduate the first generation of Cambodian speech therapists from a Cambodian university.
OIC Cambodia is proud to be a partner for Project J703N OIC Cambodia (Education) with Global Development Group (ABN: 57 102 400 993), an Australian DFAT approved Non-Government Organisation.
