As volunteer CEO and co-founder of the Rotary-supported nonprofit organization Sustainable Cambodia, I invite you to explore the work our staff is doing in Cambodian villages. We are a working to help the residents of these rural villages create a sustainable quality of life through wells, irrigation systems, schools, training and empowerment. By our founding principles, only native Cambodians may be employed as paid staff, and all international officers, directors and consultants must be unpaid volunteers, ensuring that 100% of funding goes directly into the rural village programs. Please explore more about Sustainable Cambodia at www.SustainableCambodia.org.

In U.S. schools, cliques, bullying and alienation can be debilitating, as students struggle with an environment that is anything but conducive to learning. Challenge Day is a unique program that empowers teens to change their school environment, ending bullying, alienation and school violence. As a sponsor of Challenge Day, I invite you to visit www.AlachuaCircle.org to learn more, or visit Oprah Winfrey’s website and search “Challenge Day”.
