Only in this way we will be able to pro- duce great results. In 2010 our projects grew and we have achieved some important results. 2.500 farmers took part in the agricultural training organized in Cambodia, creating more than 200 model farms in 140 villages. As many farmers in Myanmar attended the trainings on cultivation and transforma- tion of agricultural products and visited the 2 model farms in the Country. Some cooperatives of farmers have been created, among which we remember the passionate “Tomato group”, that is experimenting the cultivation of the tomatoes in the mountains regions of Myanmar. Moreover, 95 disables in Cam- bodia obtained great improve- ments thanks to the activity organized in the Community Rehabilitation Centres and more than 200 disabled children benefited from phisyothe r- apy sessions and gave their best at school. 400 Cambodian families decided to send their children to NH kindergartens, recog- nizing the importance of early childhood educa- tion in order to enhance the entrance in primary schools, and dedicating their free time to help the teachers. We want to thank all of them. Thanks to their determination and their passion we find the moti- vation that enables us to renovate our commit- ment. And we also want to thank all the people who work to make it possible. All the special need teachers of the CBR centres, who challenge prejudices and help disabled children to affirm their dignity. And all the teachers, al- ways eager to learn. An all the members of NH staff, Cambodian and Burmese, who smiling say that “NH is like a family”. We want to thank the enthusiasm with which they welcomed Julia, the new Country Director in Myanmar, and the passion that transformed the annual evaluation held in Phnom Penh into a moment of real joy. And obviously, we also want to thank all of you. With your interest and your support you make it possible!
