2009-03-04 update:The Director of SSF Cambodia (the 'real', Cambodian Director) says that he is a victim of Ryan Roth (Flynn) too. The magician that White Orchid supposedly sent was duped too! Supposedly, he was promised that Ryan would take care of his expenses etc, but was never reimbursed. Ryan was not asked to be a director or advisor for SSF and they have asked to have bogus information taken down from Ryan's various web postings. This is shameful and really sinks to an all time low for Ryan. Just thought you would like to know.
I sent an email to SSF Cambodia in August 2008 to see what they had to say about Ryan's involvement and did not receive a reply. After receiving this submission claiming SSF have a problem with Ryan Roth / Flynn, I made a new attempt to establish the identity of SSF Cambodia. I approached UNICEF UK, asking how to identify or validate a Cambodian organisation, but didn't in the end receive a helpful answer. idealist.org have a listing for SSF Cambodia showing their website as www.ssfcambodia.org, and this, to me, seems quite reasonable.
After a series of intense emails from Ryan around the end of February 2009, I spent some time updating this article (2009-03-03) to make it more balanced, presenting Ryan's evidence of being an advisor: an email apparently from Vichetr, the director of SSF Cambodia; and a SSF blog post announcing a partnership with Our Planet Retreats.
I though that it seemed odd that Ryan's complaint was specifically about his being an advisor with no mention of the rest of the submission, including the accusation that SSF is in some way a victim, that SSF had asked him to take down false information from his websites, and that he had not reimbursed Mickey (the magician) for expenses as promised. My impression of this was that Ryan was making a noise about something small to make one forget about the larger problems.
The following day I sent a new email to Vichetr at SSF Cambodia, this time receiving a reply. It sounds like Ryan made a bunch of promises that he didn't come through on ("Ryan used to promise... but we didn’t receive"; "since the arrival of the magician, everything sounds promises are on the promise without outputs presented") and SSF "have a lot of works to do in helping our target beneficiaries than spending our waste time on the Ryan case".
Once again I'm appalled by Ryan's behaviour - not only for the disappointment and hardship he caused Vichetr and surrounding community in Cambodia, but also for his self-centred attention-seeking grab at recognition he decidedly does not deserve. Vichetr sent a carbon-copy of that email to Ryan (and to another address that I suppose is Mickey's), so Ryan can see for himself what Vichetr had to say.
The blog entry Ryan cites is an article titled "OPR Farming for the future", which announces "a partnership with Our Planet Retreats". The link on Ryan's site is to ssfcambodia.wordpress.com, which has since been deleted, but a copy of the OPR Farming for the future article (2008-07-22) appears on ssfcambodia.blogspot.com.| Next > |
