| PHNOM PENH — Eight Cambodian students were awarded a prestigious Fulbright scholarship this year to pursue higher education in leading US universities. In interviews with VOA Khmer, the students said they hoped to help develop their country more on their return. |
Results from a recent survey of 377 university students in the capital by the NGO
Forum found a majority did not know about the management and usage of those funds.

Most Cambodian university students have heard of their country’s fledging extractive industry. But with little access to information, few are aware of how revenue from this industry is being managed. Most of this information remains unavailable, and some are now voicing their concerns about corruption and misuse of those revenues. “The news on television tells us little about mining extractions,” student Saing Kanha told VOA Khmer. |

US federal employees have begun a fundraising campaign for 2011, in a drive to collect money for local and international organizations.
The Combined Federal Campaign is undertaken each year and allows US government employees to deduct money from their incomes to go toward thousands of different organizations, including charities and NGOs. |
