Lork Kheng

Lork Kheng, Member of the National Assembly, Chair of Commission on Public Health, Social Work, Veterans, Youth, Rehabilitation, Labor, Vocational Training and Women’s Affairs: “Possible” begins with a “Dream” : Assuming the position of WPL Ambassador for Cambodia,  I will concretise this vision to enhance young women with big dream for leadership. My strong belief is that dream would be the stepping stone for Cambodian girls to break the barrier and pressure, hence, choosing the right path to achieve their goal. Driven by such vision, we will demonstrate, from Cambodia to the world, that women are able and  must definitively take part in leadership. Thus, having set up the solid motivation and preparation for them will insure their future in taking the role of leaders.”
