Besides the manaman (sp?) who is an obvious troll, why would that OP be met with such disdain from others? What makes the OP the subject of a gavinmac background check?
Anyone who has a different view or challenges people post is branded a troll. It’s a simpletons rebuke.
And now I’ll be told of for going off topic because it’s my fault as I’m a troll etc etc.

I'm going to put my money where my mouth is and say I would accept a family . Is there a NGO in PP I should contact.
I will reply more specifically to your comments if I may?
No, I don't believe that Cambodia is in a position to responsibly accept Ukrainian refugees into the country, apart from the huge cultural, language and climate differences there is no government support for them even if they were willing or able to flee to Cambodia, as other posters have commented there are numerous better options like Poland, Hungary, Slovakia to name just a few.
You stated that you would "Accept" a family, which is different to "Sponsoring" a family. I imagine someone accepting a family into their home when I read your statement, which due to your visa status & not being a Cambodian citizen would be next to impossible.
You were likely thinking out loud like a moderator has stated when he jumped to your defence, but be prepared to hear others opinions when you post your inner thoughts on a public forum, which I thought this was?
I hope the link below helps you to donate to or sponsor a family as you have mentioned.

Re: Ukraine Refugees
Yes and that's a very glib assertion. You must know that there's a big difference between expressing a different view or even challenging a view in a respectful and constructive manner that fosters healthy discussion and, trolling. It's all about the intent, the tone, the words used and how it's expressed/delivered..mannanman wrote: ↑Tue Mar 15, 2022 8:21 pmCareful.

Anyway, it's clear you're still on a mission of dissension after baiting/trolling.. so take 7 days off to think about how you want to contribute to CEO going forward.

Re: Ukraine Refugees
The Ukrainians are getting into the current situation because they resist and are fighting for their freedom and democracy. Why would they settle for somewhere that lacks of it.
Re: Ukraine Refugees
Clearly, for those in danger and not able to contribute to the war effort, any country is better than risking your life by staying put. However, there are already plenty of countries, mainly in Europe, who together, can easily accomodate everyone in genuine need.
I think the last thing most refugees want is to end up in a much less developed country halfway round the world, with an unfamiliar culture, trying to survive on what little assistance they're offered (which won't come close to what more developed European countries can offer, even with NGO's and charities involved) - especially when there is plenty of room and assistance for them in closer and more familiar territory.
I agree with the intentions of helping refugees, but I don't think it's realistic to imagine a situation where they would want to flock to somewhere like Cambodia. Anyone living in Cambodia that wants to help would be far better off donating what they can to one of the many charities that have been set up to help.

Re: Ukraine Refugees
I'm utterly shocked that there are foreigners residing in Europe.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
Re: Ukraine Refugees
On the subject of way's to help, the Ukrainian foreign ministry and UK embassy is promoting their own (verified) site where you can also make donations.Grand Barong wrote: ↑Tue Mar 15, 2022 9:19 pm I hope the link below helps you to donate to or sponsor a family as you have mentioned.
