APCC teaches us that the world can become a family.

After participating in APCC, I realized the importance of English as an international language, majored in English at university, and participated in many international exchange programs, which led to my current career. Currently, I am the Director of Youth Affairs at the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Kingdom of Cambodia, where I have launched and developed many youth programs and have had the opportunity to take care of APCC and other international programs. Based on the knowledge and experience I have gained from APCC and elsewhere, I believe that children should be given the opportunity to broaden their horizons, unleash their potential, and participate in the development of their local communities.

I love the theme song "We are the BRIDGE". It makes you realize that the world is everyone's home and that you can become a better family. Let's join hands to build a better tomorrow for the next generation.
The host family that took me in at that time showed me a lot of love and consideration, and we continue to keep in touch even now, 27 years later. The Japanese taught me to love and respect everyone around me, no matter who they are. I am also deeply grateful to those involved in APCC. I am running a successful business, influencing people, and making a difference in the lives of many children around the world, including myself.
