Phnom Penh Tuesday, 28 September 2010
Cambodia's economic growth and future development rely on “an educated and healthy population,” US Ambassador Carol Rodley said in Phnom Penh at a signing ceremony Tuesday.
The US on Tuesday provided more than $35 million to Cambodian health and education, part of more than $51 million in funding expected this week.
The US will provide $33.55 million in grant funds to reduce HIV and AIDS and prevent major diseases like tuberculosis and other dangers such as maternal and child health, officials said. And it will provide another $1.55 million for Cambodia's “education objectives,” including improving basic education and access to education.

Long Visalo, the acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, accepted the funding Tuesday, calling health and education “the two highest priority sectors” for reducing poverty and increasing economic development.
The US is expected to provide another $16.44 million to Cambodia in a ceremony Wednesday, in a separate initiative to improve the country's business environment and enhance its agricultural capabilities.

Why is US continuing grant to other country when itself is in debt and the American is suffering? We American here need healthcare, job, solution to provide for our families who lost our home and job during the economic crisis. They need to work it out in their home first before they help other country especially a country of gangster!
This is great news ever! Thank you America!
America does that to maintain her influence around the world. Without it there is no American. So it's part of a life in America. She is very nice and kind as always. This what makes America great.

80% of the fund will go to help but CCP official new house and car. 15% go to help support Vietnam case in Khmer. then 5% go paint the school and cut the lawscape.

Schools are useless,
most of schools builded by Khmer overseas are not used.
Schools would not be useful when teachers earn $50 per month.
Worse than that all of schools in Cambodia are named Bun Rany Hun Sen the murders.
