Cambodia and Thailand have been fighting over border areas again since May. Tens of thousands of people have fled. Connexio develop and the Methodist Church in Cambodia are supporting these people with aid packages.
A conversation with Socheata Chap, our coordinator in Cambodia, about climate change, her work and what gives her hope.
For over 60 years, Kamboja and Thailand have been fighting over the 800-kilometer-long area between Preah Vihear and Koh Kong. Now the dispute has escalated again. Sun Lophy, the president of the Methodist Church in Cambodia, has now spoken out.
Last week, members and guests met in Langenthal for the General Assembly and the Connexio Atelier - with our special guest Socheata Chap, our country coordinator from Cambodia. The two days were characterized by lively exchanges, inspiring encounters and shared energy.
Socheata Chap, our coordinator in Cambodia, is coming to Langenthal in June!
The Methodist Church in Cambodia has had a very difficult three years. Nevertheless, those in charge are hopeful. This is because many young people take on responsibility in the church, stand up for others and have a vision for their country.
