Tier II

Didn't have time to write this when we first found out . . . Cambodia has officially been moved off of the Tier II Watchlist and is now firmly on Tier II of the U.S. State Department's annual Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report for the first time in 4 years. http://www.state.gov/g/tip/rls/tiprpt/2008/

Pretty exciting eh? Eh?

Also, elections are fast approaching (July) and I'm fairly interested in seeing how things actually go down here . . . I'm considering volunteering to be an election monitor through another NGO here. Most people say the elections have already been decided and that there is a .1% chance of things changing. Nevertheless, I'd still like to get a chance to observe the process (whatever process that may be).

And again, I promise to write a real entry soon . . . and by "soon" I mean "when I get a chance"

PEACE
