FAO: Nhem Sareth – Disability Action Council
22nd January 2010
Dear Mr. Nhem Sareth,
Thank you for your memorandum regarding the library resources at the CDRC.
In 2006, All Ears Cambodia published a medical textbook entitled ‘A Manual of Audiology and Primary Ear Health Care’. It was the first of its kind and remains so. The book is some 300 pages long, hard-backed and fully illustrated in colour.
If it is not already sitting on the shelves of the CDRC library then you are very welcome to a copy. It may prove useful as a resource concerning ear and hearing health care in Cambodia, and the problems of ear disease and hearing impairment/deafness.
For more information visit: www.allearscambodia.org
Best wishes
Yours
Glyn Vaughan

Dear Ladies and Gentleman,
The Public Relations & Information Unit of Disability Action Council (DAC), would like to present Ladies and Gentleman about the Cambodian Disability Resource Center (CDRC). It is a unique library, biggest library and the center of knowledge for information related to disabilities, inclusive education, livelihood and rehabilitation. Presently, CDRC is jointly managed by the Ministry of Social Affairs, Veterans and Youth Rehabilitation (MoSVY) and Disability Action Council (DAC). The CDRC used to get financial support from AusAID through ARC but presently, it is not supported anymore. In fact, without getting financial support, Disability Action Council still runs it to the public, donors, government ministries, students and researchers who are interesting in disability sector.
Since 2009, CDRC donated 1056 books and other documents to its members, visitors and government ministries. Presently, there are 6066 books and including with related document to disabilities, are available in the CDRC. CDRC is under subversion of Public Relations and Information Unit and there are one staff and one volunteer are taking responsibilities. Note: the two of them are polio. The CDRC is open from 8:00am-5:30pm, Moday-Friday.
