Bob Cabeza, our VP of Community Development is presently in Cambodia with Boon Chin Tan YMCA USA International Director to assist with the development of a Cambodian exchange between the Community Development YMCA and the brand new Cambodian YMCA located in Pnomh Penh. If successful, our YMCA hopes to help the Cambodian YMCA with a series of exchanges between our Cambodian professional staff and our Cambodian youth who would travel to Cambodia to provide projects and assistance where needed around helping Cambodian youth build skills in technology and digital arts. Culminating in the possibility of those youth creating micro-businesses in Phnom Penh. In exchange, our Americanized youth could get in touch with their culture and homeland.
Also involved is the YMCA Asian Alliance.
