Phalla has worked as a teacher, school director and country-wide coordinator for the Education for Blind program in Cambodia for over 20 years. In her teaching, Phalla has pioneered approaches to learning in modalities that are more natural for the blind. She aims to build learning through understanding, memory and confidence. Her work has made a significant difference to the perception of blind people in Cambodian society.
If awarded the Prize, Phalla would use the funds to expand Krousar Thmey’s Education for Blind program. She would train more teachers, so that it can serve not just eleven but all 25 provinces of Cambodia, and buy more Braille printing machines.
