PAGE 2 Te Awamutu Courier, Tuesday, April 11, 2006 Caring for Cambodians continues By Cathy Asplin A year ago Sue Hanna, Sue Taylor and her husband Graham Taylor arrived in Phnom Penh and realised that working there for two years was going to be very differ- ent from spending a week as tourists. “We were fortunate in that we had been to Cambodia a number of times before and so knew a little of what to expect, which lessened the impact of culture shock. “However, as in every developing country, there are little things that can frustrate, but also amuse. We’ve also had to deal with oppressive heat, the need for security and crazy drivers (traffi c lights are only a suggestion!). “Our jobs in Cambodia are very challenging, as they are new roles and there was no precedent we could follow.” HAGAR AFTERCARE PROGRAMME Hagar, the organisation the two women work for, fo- cuses on abandoned women and children. “We came here primarily to set up and run an After- care Programme for girls aged 5-13 yrs who have been rescued from commercially sexually exploitative situations. “The programme was non-existent, so we needed to rent a property, employ and train staff, write policies and ABOVE: Sue Hanna procedures and network with other organisations.” (during a brief The pair began work the day they arrived in Phnom visit home) holds Penh and by June they had their fi rst arrival of twelve a photo which is girls, all from horrifi c backgrounds. part of a series of By October the home was full with 20 girls and they ABOVE: Hagar Aftercare children with Sue Taylor. were facing the diffi cult task of having to turn away beautiful photos BELOW: ABC regional co-ordinators with Graham Taylor.

PlunketLine, an information and support service for parents, was pioneered by Plunket in 1994. Initially voluntary contributions were used to fund the service, but it was so successful that funding was sought from Government to keep this valuable service going.

Bowls victory for young O’Connell First year player Kathryn O’Connell has wasted little time winning her fi rst trophy at Pirongia Bowling Club. Playing off a fi ve handicap, the rookie bowler emerged unbeaten after four matches to win the handicap singles with the Centennial Rosebowl at stake. She headed off last year’s winner, her father Kevin Ager, playing off a two handicap, who managed three wins and a draw. One of Kathryn’s four scalps was her mother, Judith, also playing off a fi ve handicap. Jessie Young reports that Kathryn was ‘over the moon’ as her father and mother both feature prominently on the club trophies. “The family are relative newcomers to bowls but are certainly making their presence felt,” she says. Men’s under fi ve years pairs championship fi nal: Kevin Ager (s), Phillip Pitcon beat Stuart Branch and Russell Refoy 23-11. Women’s under fi ve year’s triples championship: Raye Baucke (s), Kathryn O’Connell, Kim Hastie; r-up: Mary Goodhue (s), Judith Ager, Sara Refoy.
