Ambassador-designate Carol Rodley Pays a Visit to Students at the Cambodian Islamic Center
Cambodian Islamic Center
December 15, 2008
Ambassador-designate Rodley visited the Cambodian Islamic Center (CIC) on the 15th of December in order to assess the progress of the school since its reopening in 2003. The CIC hosts roughly 700 students, many of whom are housed on campus and return to their home villages on the weekends. During her visit she met with the school’s director and Cambodia’s chief mufti H.E. Okhna Sos Kamry as well as the bulk of the teaching staff. The Ambassador-designate took the opportunity to donate over 600 mosquito nets to the school for use in their dormitories, and visited both the boys and the girls religious and secular classes. She was particularly impressed with the integrated nature of the institution, and noted that both the local Khmer teachers and the international religious faculty seemed to work closely together in order to provide the best possible education for their students.
