The same day I interviewed a 30-year old teacher who was part of the Genocide Education Training for Teachers. We picked her out of many and were lucky to have chosen such a great candidate for my interview. What I found most intriguing about our interview is her view of the countryside and industry. She believed that Cambodian society depended on agriculture and farming and we lack the expertise or technology to help farmers. Compared to Vietnam, we do not have technicians to find solutions for times when agricultural production is interrupted in some way by certain disasters. Most technicians are located in the city and are not able to work and help farmers with their fields directly. I liked her answer because she used the advantages of industry to help preserve the agricultural culture of Cambodia. That is what we need. The answer is to help the countryside people and provide them with different necessities. There should be no more factories and businesses being built over such beautiful land anymore. When we destroy it, we can never have it back again.
