Litratong Pinoy #18: Ang Pagwawagi
2008-11-27 03:37:00 ... ng kampanya ng pamahalaang Cambodia laban sa HIV/AIDS.Dahil sa puspusang pagpalaganap ng iba't-ibang programa sa tulong ng mga international aid agencies, UNAIDS, mga NGOs pati na ang mga Buddhist monks, nagkaroon ito ng positibong resulta pagkatapos ng ilang taon. Para sa karagdagang impormasyon ukol sa kampanya laban sa HIV/AIDS, paki-basa lang sa ibaba.
Background info
2008-11-27 02:31:00 Ang Cambodia ay isa sa mga bansang may pinaka-mataas na HIV infection rates sa buong mundo. Naitala ang pinaka-unang kaso ng HIV sa bansa noong 1991, at ang pinaka-unang tao na na-diagnose na may AIDS ay naitala naman noong 1993. Tinatayang sa loob ng taong 1997 umaabot humigit-kumulang sa 157,000 katao, edad 15-49 taon, ang hinihinalaang may HIV sa Cambodia. Sa resulta ng pananaliksik ng iba't-ibang ahensiya ng gobyerno at sa tulong ng mga banyagang mananaliksik, lumalabas na ang pagtatalik ng walang proteksyon, ang pagkakaroon ng multiple partners, ang prostitusyon, ay iilan lamang sa maraming dahilan ng pagkalat ng HIV/AIDS. Dahil dito, nagtulong-tulong ang iba't-ibang ahensya ng pamahalaan ng Cambodia at ng mga ahensya tulad ng UNAIDS, USAID, mga NGOs, atbp., upang magsagawa ng programang sasagot sa problemang ito. Sa tulong ng mga ito, naglunsad ng matinding awareness programs, kasama na ang mga media programs, para sa mga kabataan, mga nakakatanda lalo na sa mga babaeng may ...

Bus ride from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to Phnom Penh, Cambodia
2008-04-19 14:09:00 The bus from Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam to Phnom Penh, Cambodia is usually straightforward. We spent US$15 for it. The six-hour land trip is a very common route. And you can easily buy tickets anywhere in Vietnam. But for this trip, we encountered some problems.We left Mui Ne at 1 a.m. for the five-hour trip to HCMC. We were to catch the 8 a.m. bus to PP hoping to be there by 2 p.m. I had always wanted to shop again at the Russian Market since they have a lot of great cultural souvenirs and export overruns there.What I thought would be an easy border crossing turned out to be an irritating one. At the Vietnamese border, the immigration officer treated us shabbily. We were standing in front of him for almost 30 minutes and he was not minding us. At times, he was smirking. When asked if we were in the right line, he would answer "I'm busy" while passports of the people behind us were brought to him. We didn't budge until finally he entertained us after we reminded him that w...

Wat Kampong Tralach
2008-04-07 08:21:00 My husband Rob and I are currently in retreat in the coastal town of Kep to get away from the madness of the capital, Phnom Penh. Kep town was, in another era, a tourist centre for the wealthy from Phnom Penh, who enjoyed its beaches, fish and sea breezes. Now, the municipality as a whole is impoverished and relies on inshore fishing and small-scale agriculture. There are a couple of family-run fish sauce factories, and about 1,000 hectares of salt basins providing employment for about twenty family enterprises and seasonable employment for perhaps sixty more.Kep has always been our choice for weekend getaways because, compared to Cambodia?s other beachtown, Sihanoukville, it still has a ?remote? feel to it and there is still a small number of tourists coming in. Besides, Kep has a special place in our hearts, having lived here in 2006 when I started IDRC's rural ICT project here.Our visit this time has another purpose ? for my husband to turn over the brand new computer set with s...

Wordless Wednesday #29: Buddhism and Forestry
2008-02-19 09:05:00 Check out other Wordless Wednesday photos.n.b.: Please excuse me, I know it is supposed to be wordless but I couldn't help but explain the link between Buddhism, Cambodia's religion, and the forests. A lot of things has been said about the forests of Cambodia and one thing is for sure - the forests are rapidly disappearing with the country's opening to a market-oriented economy. Here's a section of what I wrote years ago:Forest cover has decreased from over 70% in 1970 to around 35% today (depending on which source you are using), and many globally important mammals such as kouprey, tigers, and elephants are on the path to extinction. The forests, upon which local people depended for firewood, medicines, building materials, and religious or spiritual value, have been ruthlessly destroyed by logging companies. Given the traditional prestige of Buddhist monks among the population and the natural ecological orientation of Buddhism as a belief system and way of life, monks are a pri...
