The prime minister of Cambodia has made driver's safety a priority for the country this year.
Colonel Nhem Chunly said, "Now we have one teacher to teach us about the traffic rules, but from this training, we will have 100 teachers to train our families and communities."
He also stated, "As law enforcers, we need to show people that we teach and live the law."
Mrs. Solchea, teacher of the training, said, "There needs to be Driver's Safety Trainings in more of the provinces of Cambodia." She expressed desire to the Church for more of these programs to be done throughout Cambodia in the future.
Those in attendance at the training were thrilled to receive their helmets and gave thanks to the Church for doing the program in Khampong Thom, and providing them the opportunity to participate.
