Savann Oeurm

I am a 'journalist, filmmaker, and communicator’. In the past, I wrote and produced news stories about poverty and development, social injustice such as land right sin Cambodia, entertainment articles, and other feature stories about the life of extraordinary people. Also I was involved in documenting, photographing and monitoring and advocacy as well as communication research.

I started my career with ActionAid Cambodia on the 4th of April 2011. My responsibilities are information and knowledge management, managing publications, media and other stakeholder relationship management, and supporting communication capacity building.

My personal interest, I am a person who loves to encourage people to develop themselves for the better future. I normally use my media skills to inform and to educate them about their problems and to encourage or to persuade them to change their behaviors in order to improve their livelihoods. And most importantly I'd like to bring the problems or the issues of people with less opportunities, excluded people, ethnic communities to the world as well as sharing their difficulties, cultures and traditions to different people and different nations to have a better picture of these kinds of people.

I respect my profession. I will use media and communication skills that I have learnt in my country as well as in other countries to help ActionAid Cambodia in its many development programs. I am interested in working with ActionAid because its vision and mission are very similar with my personality and communication is one of the important subjects that can support Actionaid Cambodia's development programs to reach its fruitful outcomes.
