Darcie Dieman will give a PowerPoint presentation on Cambodia at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Bethany Presbyterian Church, 2000 E. Haskell Blvd.
She spent eight weeks in Cambodia last summer, teaching English and mentoring at-risk youth of Phnom Penh.
Dieman received a service grant from Harvard University to be a volunteer at Tiny Toones, Cambodia. Tiny Toones is a hip-hop community center offering English, Khmer literacy, dance, art, mathematics, HIV/AID harm reduction, and computer classes. She served as an English teacher, dance instructor, office assistant, and positive mentor.
The mission of this community center is to provide a safe, positive environment for at-risk youth to channel their energy and creativity into the arts and education, and offering opportunities and a second chance to kids coming off the streets, Dieman said.
Dieman is a Fort Gibson High School graduate, and second year student at Harvard University, majoring in psychology – social and cognitive neuroscience.
