This is a fascinating historical look at how Taiwan rose to become a global technology powerhouse. I encourage everyone to watch this video. In many ways, what we’re striving to do for Cambodia and her beloved people echoes the pivotal moment Taiwan faced over seven decades ago. We, too, are standing at an inflection point — one full of possibility, if we dare to seize it. What do we have to lose? Nothing — only everything to gain. This is our moment. The time is now. Let’s j

Learnvia is a new national nonprofit focused on transforming student success and workforce development in STEM on a national scale. The emphasis is on training and preparing students for future's careers in new STEM fields such as robotics, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing. Khmer students in Cambodia and abroad will have full access to Learnvia and many other educational platforms and research opportunies through KHMER STEM Global Network and Carnegie Mellon Uni

This study explores how early pregnancy impacts the mental health and future socioeconomic opportunities of teenage mothers in Cambodia. It reveals that early pregnancy is a serious public health issue in the country, driven by a lack of sex education, cultural expectations, and limited access to healthcare. These factors contribute to emotional stress, educational disruption, and long-term health risks for young mothers. The study draws from reports by NGOs, UNFPA, and schol

Reclaiming Greatness through STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) I am a survivor of the Khmer Rouge regime—something I’ve carried in silence for decades. I’ve seen the depths of human cruelty, and I would never wish that experience on anyone. Like many Khmer people, I’ve endured unimaginable loss. And for the past forty years, I’ve wrestled with the question: How do we prevent this from ever happening again? Cambodia is a small nation, often overlooked by the
