It is our pleasure to announce that, on 28 October 2011, the National Committee on Volunteerism and IYV +10 finalized the Forum statement and recommendations that were formulated during the first National Forum on Volunteerism on 7-8 September. The Forum was organized in partnership by UNV and VolCam under the leadership of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport of Cambodia.
A new handbook, published by UNV Headquarters, has been designed to help development practitioners get the evidence they need to demonstrate that volunteerism contributes to peace and development around the world.
In May this year, the UNV Field Unit organized the annual retreat and skills building workshop for UN Volunteers serving in Cambodia. This year's special theme of the retreat was: Indigenous Communities of Cambodia and Development Challenges. The participants visited Mondulkiri province, one of the least developed provinces of Cambodia, and met with the Indigenous group called Bunong (Pnong), which helped them to better understand the realities of the poorest and marginalized people in Cambodia.
