The Cambodian Experience (July 1st-August 1st)
Excerpt from the Hawaii House Blog:
This past summer, Hawaii's Global Youth Center sent 3 local students to Cambodia for 4 weeks as part of the Center's Partnership for Youth Program.
Hannah Ross and Davin Aoyagi of Mid-Pacific Institute, Maria Walczuk of Hilo’s Connections Public Charter School, and 18 students from the mainland focused on the Khmer Rouge Tribunal as a case study, analyzing the role of journalism in covering an event of international importance and the role of media in the democratic process.
The Global Youth Center, a non-profit program at the UH-Manoa East-West Center, is a place for youth to meet and collaboratively work together to attain world peace, sustainability, and productivity for future generations. The Center functions at the East-West Center under the leadership of coordinator Dr. Teresita G. Bernales. The Cambodia trip was made possible with support from Stephanie Reford and Roland Lagareta, Ron and Manjit Reddick, Dr. Stephen Leahy and other anonymous donors.
