As the UK celebrated the first anniversary of the 2012 Olympics last month, in Siem Reap Cambodia another Olympic event was taking place – read all about it here, in this piece from our Social work Technical Advisor based there, James Farley…<\/em><\/p>\n

‘Globalteers\u2019 Global Olympics event took place mid July at the New Stadium in Siem Reap.<\/p>\n

With over 700 children and youth from 14 different NGOs taking part the Global Olympics was a great opportunity for Kaliyan Mith to redeem their dismal performance in the ‘Globalteer’ Siem Reap Football League earlier in the year.<\/p>\n

Of course, it\u2019s the taking part that counts –\u00a0 but it\u2019s nice to win something every now and then.<\/p>\n

54 children and youth from Kaliyan Mith represented \u201cIndia\u201d in the Olympics and the Kaliyan Mith Team swept the medals board – with the Under 18 team winning an overall Bronze medal, the Under 10s taking the Silver Medal and the Under 14 Team winning the Gold!!<\/p>\n

The Under 14 category was the most hotly contested, so a great achievement for the Kaliyan Mith kids to win Gold.<\/p>\n

Thanks toGlobalteer for hosting another great event and thanks toKaliyanMith staff for arranging and supporting the team – with special thanks to Kong Sith and Voeng Ratha.’<\/p>\n
