August 11-12, 2008, National Youth forum was established to congratulate the International Youth Day and the theme for this year is "Youth and Climate Change"--Time for Action. The event was jointly organized Department of Youth and Sports, Youth Organizations/Associations, and the United Nations in Cambodia.
More than 600 youth from everywhere in Cambodia came to participate in the event and learn a lot about concept of Climate Change, its effects, and solutions to fight against Climate Change from the seminar. In the evening session, participants were given the chance to discuss in group about the effects of climate change they have found in their community, their commitment, and suggestion toward government and development partners to fight against Climate Change.

On 22nd of July all participants of the summer course program of the United States Institute for Student Leaders 2008 left Chicago to Spring Field for tour visit in thr Capital City of Illinois. What is special about Spring Field is Abraham Lincoln's Land where he became 16th President of the United States (1861-1865). Lincoln was regarded as one of the best and respectful President of the United States who helped the country from being descriminated between the black and white. In Lincoln's vision, he hope that all men are equal --that is the equality of opportunity, men and women, black and white people have equal right to vote.
For these one and a half day in Spring Field, I visited Lincoln's home, Museum, Theatre, Library, and the Capital Building of Illinois in which the Congress has taken place with the House of Representatives and Senate.
I continue to Chicago on 23rd in the afternoon and have a short tour visit around the city.
