New Hope!

Humanitarian:

World Food Programme resumed their breakfast distributions to 450,000 Cambodian school children in rural areas, reported AP on Tuesday.

The new scheme will cost around USD 9 million per year, which means each children wil recieve around USD 20 in terms of food cost, added the news wire service.

The attemp is to reduce children's lack of nutritions and as the result will increase their learning capacity. But the United Nations World Food Programme is not so sure if this programme could last longer due to fund insecurity, stressed AP.

It is always very nice to see children come to school in the morning, holding their bags. In addition, they also bring their plates and wait for yummy breakfast. Later on, they stay at schools and learn from their teachers.

It is such a good innitiative to attract students to come to class. And it is not expensive. Only USD 20 per year could change their lives and histories. It is more than worth to invest.It helps both children's education and health.

Poor Cambodian children face difficulties even before births. Now they are on earth and looking for hopes. Their hopes are some other people's unnecessary. I always feel positive that our rich Cambodians will share their happiness with those children.

The question is who will gain more? And how can Cambodia maximize its benefits from this investment? Toyota is looking for new markets after its sales decreased this year. Cambodia's rapid economic growth for the last few years and its low cost of labour are two attractions for the company. Those factors should make Cambodia a good market for Toyota. Some rich Cambodians are waiting for the chance to buy the latest Toyota cars to drive in the streets without paying import tax. But poor, rural Cambodians will not see any benefit from the new auto factory. They might have hoped that the factory will provide jobs to their children but their children's farming skills will be of no use to Toyota. Cambodia, of course, will receive foreign capital from a Toyota factory. The country will also have the opportunity...

Snakes, give me a break!

A street vender in Kompong Cham today asked me to try this special dish. "Brother one of these snakes will fit well with a can of beer," she suggested. I was not convinced as snakes are always my scary creatures. They do not look delicious although they were cooked with promising ingredient. "No thanks, just looking," I replied and left.
