Photo by Rod Stetzer Tuesday, October 20, 2009 BY ROD STETZER [email protected] Chippewa Herald (Wisconsin, USA) Donna Martin loves being retired after teaching full-time for 34 years in the Chippewa Falls School District. But while enjoying the more relaxed pace of retirement, she kept asking herself: “What are you doing to make a difference?” Last summer, while on a trip to the Boundary Waters area in Minnesota, Martin found out. She read an article in O, The Oprah Magazine, about how to help girls around the world. The article said a Web site, Cambodiaschools.com, builds an entire school in Cambodia, a country of 14 million, for a donation of $13,000. After the Asian Development Bank matches the donation (up to $30,000), a site is selected from a waiting list and a school is built by American Assistance for Cambodia. The group, which has built over 300 schools in the country, says $10,000 of the donation is used to build the school, and the other $3,000 for a general school account. (The contributions are tax-deductible). “I thought $13,000 was nothing,” she said. So Carol Martin, who retired in 2003, is setting aside money she earns by substitute teaching to build a school in Cambodia. She figures that it will take three years to raise the money. Several people suggested speeding the process by taking her idea to community groups to see if they would be willing to donate. “That’s exactly what I’m doing,” she said. She said she’s willing to speak to groups about the school project, and has a 10-minute DVD to show about building a Cambodian school. She talked with the Chippewa Falls Senior High School staff on Thursday, Oct. 15, asking that the school’s service clubs keep the Cambodian school idea in mind for a project. Martin said each school built by the group behind the Web site has three to six classrooms. The teachers are state certified, and each school has solar panels that give off enough power to run a couple of computers. Each school is built in brick, because a wooden structure would not stand up to Cambodia’s monsoon season from May to November. Martin said some people may remember Cambodia for “The Killing Fields” days, when murderous dictator Pol Pot killed thousands. Cambodia today is a democracy, and has been since 1991. “It is stable,” Martin said. Many in the country live in villages of 100 to 400 people. Martin said 84 percent of the population lives in rural areas. “Half of the women can’t read or write,” she said. So there are a lot of people in search of an education. “The classes are huge. The classes are 30 to 45 people in the class,” Martin said. Martin said within 5-8 months of getting the money, the American Assistance for Cambodia will have the school built. “I could name the school. I could go visit it. And I could teach there,” Martin said. The main thing, however, is to get the school built so students can begin learning. “I’m hoping to do it in a year with contributions,” Martin said.

Here are the reasons BELIEVE OR NOT TO BELIEVE THE UN ORGANIZATION IN REGARD TO GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE , BECAUSE IT'S A HOAX , A FRAUD. THE UN REPRESENTATIVE WHO CAME AND DEAL ON THIS SCIENCE IS JUST A DECEPTION. THE UN ORGANIZATION IS GATHERING OF NATIONS AND HAS NO AUTHORITY ON THIS. IT'S A FRAUD , A DECEPTION . BEWARE. THE FACTS ARE: CAMBODIA REMAINS OCCUPIED BY VIETNAM IN VIOLATION OF 10 UN RESOLUTIONS, THIS MAN Douglas Broderick said farmers in remote areas would be especially hard hit. “Changes in rainfall patterns can have devastating effects on livelihoods, as 80 percent of farmers grow just one crop of rice per year,” Broderick said. “This has the potential to impact greatly on the economy, but also has implications for food security and poverty reduction as a whole.” Cambodia’s economy is heavily dependent on its agriculture, and its coastal areas, which benefit from tourism, can also be affected by global warming. HE FORGETS TO READ THIS : THESE VIETNAMESE ARE KHMER KILLERS DURING THE POL POT RULE . Saturday, March 28, 2009 KHMER KILLER LIKE THIS "Cambodia" Minister of Foreign Affairs , Hor Nam Hong(a Vietnamese communist) .KHMER ROUGE CADRE ,AT BENG TRABEK SCHOOL (RESPONSIBLE FOR THE 800 KHMER ELITE DEAD ) Former Khmer Rouge official Kaing Guek Eav(Vietnamese communist ) has admitted to condemning thousands of people to death as head of the Khmer Rouge's torture center, Tuol Sleng. IT'S SIMPLE. LOOK AND READ HERE THE FACTS. FOR CAMBODIA Strong Resolution on Cambodia Human Rights Abuses Feb. 27, 1982 : UN Commission on Human Rights meeting in Geneva adopted a resolution condemning Vietnam’s occupation of Cambodia as a violation of Cambodian human rights. The vote was 28 in favor, 8 against, and 5 abstentions. Oct. 21, 1986 The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution A/RES/41/6, by vote of 116-21 with 13 abstentions, calling for a withdrawal of Vietnamese forces from Cambodia. 10 UN RESOLUTIONS,(1979-1988) VOTED BY 116 UN MEMBER COUNTRIES ,CALL VIETNAM TO CEASE HER OCCUPATION OF CAMBODIA & REMOVE ALL HER TROOPS FROM THE COUNTRY, ARE NOT RESPECTED AS OF TODAY. President Reagan's address to the 43d Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, New York,September 26, 1988. "Mr. Secretary-General, there are new hopes for Cambodia, a nation whose freedom and independence we seek just as avidly as we sought the freedom and independence of Afghanistan. We urge the rapid removal of all Vietnamese troops ...." As of today,Cambodia is still occupied by the Vietnamese troops despite the call from the US president to Vietnam to cease her occupation of Cambodia since 1988. Cambodia needs Independence from Vietnam and the Vietnamese invaders. Vietnam must cease her occupation of Cambodia at once. BURY Wednesday, October 21, 2009 UN Official Warns of Serious Climate Impacts By Pich Samnang, VOA Khmer Original report from Phnom Penh 20 October 2009 Global climate change will have a serious impact on Cambodia’s economy and society, the UN’s resident coordinator in Phnom Penh warned Tuesday. Speaking on the second day of a climate change conference in Phnom Penh, Douglas Broderick said farmers in remote areas would be especially hard hit. “Changes in rainfall patterns can have devastating effects on livelihoods, as 80 percent of farmers grow just one crop of rice per year,” Broderick said. “This has the potential to impact greatly on the economy, but also has implications for food security and poverty reduction as a whole.” Cambodia’s economy is heavily dependent on its agriculture, and its coastal areas, which benefit from tourism, can also be affected by global warming. For example, Broderick said, coastal degradation in Koh Kong province can push people beyond their limits to cope. Meanwhile, climate change might also put pressure on Cambodia as communities migrate from the Mekong River system or river ecosystems suffer. Environment Minister Mok Maret, who is also chairman of the National Climate Change Committee, said on Tuesday that the government has already taken steps in response to climate change. Prime Minister Hun Sen on Monday called on rich nations to provide assistance to poor countries like Cambodia to effectively address climate change. Broderick warned that failure to deal with climate change impacts could undermine the nation’s “millennium development goals,” causing problems in the economy and in social development.
