“I always remember to wash my hands before I eat,” the 13 year-old proudly claims. “I also know that it’s important to wash food before you cook it, clean the house at least once a week and avoid catching worms or malaria.”
Odom’s unique awareness of his personal health and hygiene does not stem from any obsessive compulsive disorder.

He is clean and health-conscious because he wants to be and because he knows that it could potentially save his life or the life of someone he loves ..more
School Health Education Program
Starting in 2004, over the next two years the health education project will develop a regular health education program for the schools in Lvea Em district.
Working in conjunction with Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education officials, school principals and teachers, AOC will assist with funding, developing curriculum and training teachers.
AOC has been asked to assist with finance for work at Jroe Pisey school not far from Tuk Khleang. The work would include rebuilding a toilet block at the back of the school, purchasing a water pump to get water to the toilets and with helping with books and clothing for the children.
