Jimmy Carter, an ex-president of the United States, and his family plan to visit Cambodia in November to help a humanitarian project.
Carter’s visit is a part of humanitarian project called Mekong Building to run November 16-20, according to the Cambodian National Humanity Homeland Organization, which has for three years helped thousands of families in Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Southwest China.
The project will construct 21 houses in only 5 days with the support of the International Volunteers (IV), over 300 persons from 21 families who will be transferred from the Stung Meanchey garbage dump to the Oudong district of Kampong Speu province.
Carter will join participants from 5 other countries as well as Cambodia.
The Mekong Building project will construct 166 residences in Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and China. The Cambodian Govern- ment hopes the new project and the visit of the ex-president will benefit the poor.
The relocated Stung Meanchey evictees are said now to be hopeful about their new land far from the capital.
