Cambodia Overview

• 1975 1979 Khmer Rogue in power. Estimates vary
  as to how many people were killed by the Khmer
  Rouge regime. Ranging from from 1.7 million to 3
  million Cambodians.
• 1978 - Vietnam invaded Cambodia, in an attempt to
  stop Khmer Rouge. Violent warfare between the
  Vietnamese and Khmer Rouge continued throughout
  the 1980s.

  education, nor will money given to the government
  be used as promised.

The key to success is preparation. Your goals
will not work as planned for. Every corner of
life will contain obstacles to overcome. However,
building a foundation with a framework for
sustainability can lead to your destination

• Thinking Globally
• This project opened my eyes to events in other
  parts of the world.
• Many people live in their own personal bubble and
  never realize what goes on in distant parts of
  the world.
• A good 21st Century leader should be globally
  aware, allowing them to make informed decisions.
• Sharing Leadership
• Had no group leader
• Today, even at the highest levels leadership is
  shared in most cases
