Our activities on the second day didn’t start until late in the morning. We all woke up very late. Guess everybody, including myself, was still in the process of adjusting ourselves to the new time zone. It was very lucky that our main appointment that day — an interview with BBC Radio 4 — was at noon, which therefore left us a good deal of time to prepare ourselves and take our late breakfast.

The studio
The show for which our interview was done is known In Touch. Run by Ian McRae and Peter White , both of whom visually impaired, In Touch is one of the most popular radio shows for blind people in the UK. It typically brings in and discusses about heroic and inspirational visually impaired people from around the UK and the world. It runs twenty minutes weekly every Tuesday night at 8:40 pm GMT.

Thank you guys. Will keep you posted once I have more time. Check back.
I’ll keep checking… continue posting bro!
Hahaha, Master Kong Nay (Chapei) and Master Mongkol (Translator)….សខខ you’re funny!
So very proud of him! I think he deserves more attention from the Cambodian society. How come a man like him who that big newspaper called “Cambodian Ray Charles” should be living in that hut? Sth must be wrong with our society.
Well, your English is great! Strong American accent! People wouldn’t know ya Khmer, listening to your English. Great!
Hey Mongkol. Very proud of you out there shining a path and just sad that I can’t show you around my home town. Another time. Very excited that you are able to bond with Kong Nay, he’s an amazing character. Good luck! D
Thank you too for introducing me to this opportunity. It’s been great..
I wish I could see more of London too. Well, we can always do it some other times. I’ll see you in Phnom Penh soon.
Well done M|O|N|G|K|O|L, very good work.
