I am pleased to be with you all today and tobe back in Cambodia. I first came toCambodia in 2007 to swear in our very firstgroup of Peace Corps Volunteers here. It’sa very special place, and I’ve had awonderful time visiting with our Volunteersover the past few days.
May want to mention a story or two—youwill have met with Will and StephanieBartsch who are both teaching English at ahigh school. They are from Pierre, SouthDakota (your home state), so that’s worthyou mentioning.
I know our organizations share commongoals, and we can each tell stories aboutthe great work our folks are doing aroundthe globe. We all desire for people aroundthe world to be empowered to live betterlives and have the ability to transform theirown communities. It’s important for us toall work together, which is why I’m so
