In August some of our Deaf Development Programme staff visited a young deaf woman who has set up a small business along the road in front of her house. To reach her village, we passed through a largely Muslim area. The Chams are basically an ethnic group but because the majority of them have been Muslim, the word "cham" today is almost synonomous in Cambodia with "Muslim." Thus Kampong Cham Province is where the largest group of Muslims are found in Cambodia where Muslims--all Sunnis--are about 3% of the population.
