Investing in Women Leadership is Long-term Vision

The Global Ambassadors Program is a very solid partnership between Bank of America and Vital Voices to give women leaders the training and support to play key roles in their communities and nation.

I will continue to be part of the program and am convincing Bank of America that Cambodian women merit the same attention.

I believe that Cambodian women have great potentials and with support from the private sector that shows social corporate responsibility and not in Cambodia to exploit women's cheap labor, we can advance for the interest of the entire nation.

Solid companies look for stability. They will invest for long-term in building human resources that will spur economic growth. It is essential that Cambodia cleans up its systems and put competent people in key institutions and not maintain the current system of patronage.

The current huge gap between the rich and the poor and corruption do not set the stage for long-term stability.

Giving away Bottom Sakor, Phnom Aural, Prey Lang-Cambodia's pristine forests and sanctuaries - to private companies that turn this natural richness into casinos and plantations is a disaster on a very large scale. Solid companies with international credibility do not invest in such business ventures.

Bank of America bangs on Americans for profit in its unscrupulous exploitative schemes.

Now the same Bank is fronting women for reaching its hands in the men trousers.

Despicable greedy Bank of America!

ជំទាវអត់រិត​ Mu Sochua is doing the job that Minister Drs. Ung Kanthavy is not doing for Cambodia's women and insult the middle class plus poor women in USA.

Please read up further before doing free advertisement for that BANK off America.

Mu Sochua is the futur leader of SRP to replace Sam Rainsy.
If sam rainsy like SRP and want victory, he must invite Mu sochua to lead this party.

Ms. Sochua is a genuine gift to Cambodia. Khmers are blessed to have her.
Some people preach... and most pass by quietly in fear of safety but she stops. She stops to listen to the crying of chidren and women. She feels their pain and lends her voice to fight the injustice done to the silent victims.
Her sacrifice and bravery will indeed be a legacy in Khmer history.
May we have many more genuine leaders like her!
