At first I thought that the Millennium Development Goals’ ending poverty in the year 2015 was pretty farfetched. All these goals were so complicated and take so much time to process the projects and organizing because each and every one of them are important. You can’t really leave out some and pay more attention than the other because they’re all kind of tied all together. Also looking at Cambodia’s history, they went through so much because of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, it is pretty hard to smart something from scratch and hope that all things get better eventually.

However, my thoughts drastically changed after researching about MDG’s roles in Cambodia. They did so much and improved the welfare of the citizens in there. Not only did they help the children with their education, but they also worked well to stop de-mining and preserve more of Cambodia’s beautiful forests. Some goals still needed some help but baby steps at a time; those goals will eventually be fulfilled. I really loved the projects that they did about universal education because I really believe that if the future generation will have a better education, the country will never be poor again because of all the knowledge that the people provide them. All of those knowledge that they learned, they will all use them in the future when they are the leaders of the country.

I think the biggest problem in Cambodia right not is the mining and HIV/AIDS. It is really ruining people’s lives and affecting their everyday life. Not only because it’s trashing Cambodia keeping every citizen in Cambodia in danger but it is also because it still holds some really dark pasts that the people in Cambodia would like to forget. This is why I really think de-mining should really be out of the picture once and for all. For HIV/AIDS, compared to Thailand and Laos, Cambodia has a better case than both of the countries. However, this doesn’t mean that we could just set it aside. The rates of the people not getting treated or being informed about HIV/AIDS are minimal now. If all of these information and medical help keeps going, I really think that Cambodia will be a really happy country in the future.
