Last month, on October 21, 2022, my wife and I have contributed $200,000 to Samdach Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, for the construction of a pagoda in Siem Reap's Run Ta Ek Development.
Run Ta Ek Development Zone, Banteay Srei District, Siem Reap Province, is the location of a new development village that the Royal Government has set up for people who have volunteered to relocate from the Angkor resort of the Apsara Authority to relocate there.
The total amount of donations provided by philanthropists has reached USD 1,560,000, which will enable the construction of this pagoda to become a rich and prosperous pagoda, making it possible to build more shrines for monks and places for the elderly to stay for Vipassana. This construction of this pagoda will also make it easier for the people living in the Run Ta Ek development area to gather on various festive occasions.
Samdech Techo paid close attention to the well-being of the people living in the Run Ta Ek Development Area by appointing Deputy Prime Minister Chea Sophara, Minister of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction, to lead the inter-ministerial working group and relevant authorities directly on the construction of infrastructure, roads, water supply, electricity, schools, hospitals, pagodas and other public services to facilitate the daily life of the people there.
