Dek
Vimeanreaksmey
Assistant
and Field Officer
Known to his friends as Smey, he is Michael's assistant and
has been working in the field of environmental protection and
education since 2003, and graduated from Phnom Penh University
in 2004 with a degree in Environmental Science.
He has worked for the Ministry of Environment in Cambodia, where
his role was to work with local communities to encourage and
support environmentally sustainable economic growth. His time
at the provincial Department of Environment in Siem Reap was
focused on addressing this issue as the town's infrastructure
and natural resources are failing to meet the tremendous increase
in development, fuelled by the tourist industry surrounding
the Angkor Wat site.

David
Horton
Researcher and Field Officer - Cambodia Office
David is Michael’s son and has a degree in International
Politics, specialising in the Developing World. He spent extended
periods in Sri Lanka, studying the effects of the ongoing
civil war on development in general, and the provision of
education in particular.
His father’s passion for development work obviously
rubbed off on his son, and David followed Michael to Cambodia,
initially to work for a local NGO specialising in development
of agriculture practices.
His real interest is in people, and is happiest working on
sustainable agriculture and community strengthening projects,
though his analytical and IT skills make him invaluable to
the Cambodian office.
