Rubbing shoulders with the Prime Minister

Last week I attended a meeting at the plush Intercontinental Hotel in Phnom Penh where Hun Sen, Cambodia’s Prime Minister, gave the opening speech. He told the audience that he planned to stamp out corruption and land grabbing by senior government officials. If he manages to do that, then hoorah!

I was there to represent VSO at its information stand. Here I am with some other VSO volunteers and staff. I helped to produce the large plastic-coated poster, which was an interesting experience in working with a printing company.
