Getting Some Attention
Lander, Wyoming: I’m home and recovering from jetlag, still working diligently to get our students letters to as many media sources as possible. I’ve been talking daily with the Voice of America. They will air the story next week. And just when I was beginning to get depressed that this effort might be all for naught, I received the following email from my assistant in Phnom Penh.
Yesterday, Nhim So Bun told me on the phone that there were an environmental official and army officer alerting the wood-cutter /perpetrators to leave the forest immediately because on Saturday the task force and reporter will be heading down this area and that the provincial police will soon take action to confiscate some chainsaws and sawmills from them.
Meanwhile, he would like to inform you that the residents think that they don’t want to come to PP because there will be an intervention from Free Asia, Cambodge Sior and Licadho.
Okay, later today I’m going to deliver things to your school and I will send you the expense form after I return from your school. Already I purchased 2 rattan shelves, 2 batteries, 1 invertor, 5 water filters, 5 baskets, 12 cups, 1 English dictionary, 1 compact flash and 5 brooms.
It really is worth all the effort!
