PHNOM PENH: When her daughter was born with Down syndrome, Yu Kanha was left in despair.
Life can be a constant challenge for many poor families in Cambodia as it is. She knew that nothing would come easy for little Serey.
“When I talk about this story I always cry. We have many difficulties,” she said, sitting on a plastic seat in a classroom in Phnom Penh...
