__**Introduction:**__ From 1975 to 1979 a group called the Khmer Rouge ruled the country of Cambodia, in Asia. The population was about seven and a half million people, and during the rein of the Khmer Rouge, and their leader Pol Pot, anywhere from one to three million people died. They were against the idea of family, people with an education, Christians, Muslims, Buddhist monks, the Vietnamese, Chinese, and gays. During their reign of forced communism they murdered people by torture, execution, or starvation. Hospitals, schools, stores, and banks were banned. Many landmines were planted, one for almost every citizen of Cambodia. Though they were liberated by the Vietnamese, there are still many left in the ground

Starting this year our school Poly Prep has decided to help rebuild the schools that were destroyed. In the beginning of this school year we had a guest speaker who had been a little kid when she had to leave her pampered life and work in the fields, was taken away from her family, and was even trained to be a child solider. Now like other schools we are helping to rebuild this small country in Asia, starting with the children, the next leaders.
