Playgrounds for Our Children

Children are our future. Given the rapid economic growth
in Cambodia, increase in housing development and others in the city; we all must
not forget that our children still need their playgrounds. If investing in our
children's future means more than immediate bucks that we get from selling those
public lands to private entities, we must think twice because at the end, it is
our children that will curse us for what we make of them in the nearest
future.
In modern city such as Singapore and other Asian cities
around the region; there are much efforts put in place to ensure that public
parks and recreation centers are preserved. It is only in human nature that
humans like animals need places to come out to relax and enjoy for the benefits
of the mind and body.
Yes, we have preserved public places such as the ones
near Victory monument, Royal Palace, Ministry of Defense, and along the river
front...and that is awesome in terms of effort. What I am proposing are places
that are in the neighborhood, close to the homes and in district
centers.
I believe that some philantrophic efforts by our rich and
famous Khmer people should be set aside in building these parks and recreation
centers. To say the least, private companies are ready to pitch in as long as there are
some collateral benefits coming back to them...
