Cambodian NGO irked by Alan Montanaro’s comments on their children

The Cambodian NGO with whom Alan Montanaro works is shocked and appalled by his references to their children. It-Torċa reported one of the leaders of LRDE (the NGO Alan Monantaro works with in Cambodia) Chea Sreymom expressing her disgust at Montanaro’s references to their children as window washers and kidney-doners.

“What he said is quite shocking, especially if it’s coming from the words of a person who is supposed to help these children” said Chea Sreymom who feels disappointed and let down by Alan Montanaro.

Ms.Sreymon stated “I cannot understand what was going through his mind when he spoke that way about the children. We can never get along with such an attitude, we who try to help these children who don’t have anything, cannot accept anyone who speaks in such a manner”.

Mr.Sreymon also added, that the people involved in the chats with Montanaro didn’t even bother to defend the children and had her doubts towards the loyalty of the volunteers working with the organization

The NGO tries to protect the children from those who assimilate their worth by their lack of possessions, which is why it is shocking to find out that Alan Montanaro himself would express such vulgarity towards the children.

Nevertheless, Montanaro is still planning to visit Cambodia this summer after resigning from presiding the Drama Outreach Porject
