Miss Rebekah shared the book Cambodia. Read it at home by putting it on hold!
Read the exciting book CORN, too! There will probably be a big waiting list!
Most people in Cambodia live in rural areas, almost 75% of the people! For this reason and others, life in Cambodia seems very different from life in the United States.
Cambodia has decreased its poverty rate by 30% from 2007 to 2014. There are still many people living in poverty. Also, it is very difficult for children to get an education. There are many Cambodian and international organizations working to improve this. The People Improvement Organization is one very successful local group, started by a Cambodian woman in 2002. Learn more about it here.
Most people in Cambodia are Buddhist. Cambodia is home to the largest religious monument in the world, Angkor Wat! It is a Buddhist temple now but was constructed as a Hindu temple. It is the building on the Cambodian flag. Cambodia's flag is the only flag in the world to feature a building.
