Academic MajorEnvironmental Studies
|
In this coming fall, Phidor will arrive in the U.S. and start her journey at Beloit College. She can’t wait to study in her major, Environmental Studies, since she is profoundly passionate about environmental protection. Before she became a SHE-CAN scholar, Phidor had done many interesting activities such as being an intern at the Learning Institute (LI), working to protect natural resources in remote areas, joining teams of Cambodian youths to run campaigns against to plastics. She was also a student in Education First Cambodia’s leadership class, and running some community projects. Being an intern at LI, she did a really great job protecting the environment. She helped her team train communities in how to conserve natural resources by strengthening their capacity and work to raise gender awareness within the community. This strengthened her desire to become an environmental conservationist. Phidor would like to work in order to protect the environment, natural resources, and people whose livelihood is reliant on sustainable development by making new environmentally friendly policies and effective implementation. Phidor believes that new environmentally friendly policies and effective implementation will better the entire country.
