How do I take part in Day Without Speech?
- Organise a group of friends, colleagues or school mates to take up the challenge
- Pick a day and length of time for your campaign, ranging from one hour to 24 hours
- Ask family and friends to give to your campaign
- We will contact you to talk about your campaign and experience
What are the rules for Day Without Speech?
- Give up speech completely — don’t talk with others, don’t gossip with your friends,
and don’t hum or sing. - Be creative. Feel free to communicate through other non-verbal methods such as
hand gestures, facial expressions, writing and even through the use of technology. - Make sure your guardian or supervisor is aware you are participating in
Day Without Speech, and let them know straight away if you are feeling unwell. - After you finish your campaign, we will contact you to talk about your experience
and explain more about how speech therapy helps others.
What is the simplest way to raise money?
Ask your family and friends to give to your campaign. We accept donations by
credit card, Paypal or cash.
Where is the money going?
The money raised will support the work of OIC Cambodia. You will be helping
children with communication and swallowing disabilities in rural Cambodia.
OIC makes a life-changing difference to children and we couldn’t do our work without
your support!
OIC is proud to be a partner for Project J703N OIC Cambodia (Education)
with Global Development Group (ABN 57 102 400 993). Tax-deductible receipts

that no non-development (evangelistic, political or welfare) activities are funded
by any of these projects.
