Help Survivors of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia

Cambodia project needs your help to become a book! Help us help TPO.

Most of you know that Alan and I spent last summer in Cambodia interviewing and photographing survivors of the Khmer Rouge regime. We collaborated with a great organization called TPO (Transcultural Psychosocial Organization), one of the few in Cambodia doing mental health work, which the country desperately needs. Now TPO wants to use our work to promote what they do best, which is helping the survivors, and particularly those who are having massive memories come up around the country's war tribunal.

Please help us help them. We need to help TPO raise $2500 to print 200 hundred copies of a hardback book with the images and stories of survivors. It’s an historic account and also speaks to the power of storytelling for psychological healing. This book will go to all the people we interviewed, to the donors who made our work in Cambodia possible, and then to TPO to help them promote their work. In fact, the organization has been asked by the UN to present something at an upcoming conference in Geneva. We would love for them to have a printed book of our work to offer.

We’ve set up a paypal account to make this easy (send through alan@amtproductions.com once you have an account). Then we’ll send the funds directly to Cambodia and get the print run underway. Alan and his designers have already adjusted the layout and sent a PDF to the printer. This is a great way to support an organization that has such immense and difficult work to do – and also to support our work and all the efforts we put into this project to help survivors of war. Any amount would be greatly welcome!

Thank you all for following us and supporting us! If it goes well, we'd love to reprint it here in the states and have copies available for friends and supporters.

Call either me or Alan with any questions (or if you'd like to donate but can't manage paypal, like my mother).
