Scott Neeson receives honorary doctorate for Cambodian charity work
- American Scott Neeson is to receive an honorary doctorate in Social Affairs for his work with the Cambodian Children's Fund (CCF)over 13 years.
Prof. Dr. Krcmery and the Board of Directors have awarded Dr. Neeson's Honorary Doctorate on Social Affairs based on the merits and achievements that he has contributed to the development of children and families in Cambodia affected by severe poverty.
CCF provides free healthcare and healthcare to more than 30,000 children and community members annually providing 400 hungry children daily with a dinner program and educating more than 3,000 students from kindergarten to university.
Neeson has worked tirelessly through his organization to ensure that those affected by severe poverty receive access to healthcare, education, and financial support for standard living. His work has transformed the lives of many Cambodians by giving them dignity and transforming the way they see themselves and the world.
Scott Neeson's honorary social graduation ceremony will be held on November 27, 2017, next week chaired by Senior Minister Sun Chanthol, Minister of Public Works and Transport, and Prof. Dr. Vladimir Krcmery, Founder and Rector of the University of Health and Social Science "St. Elizabeth".

Change the name,,,,, Move the rubbish,,,, and everything stays the same.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Re: Scott Neeson receives honorary doctorate for Cambodian charity work
We often talk about how western dudes shouldn't be holding kids who aren't their own too tightly. Does it also apply here? I realize it's basically a NGO marketing photo op, but it still makes me slightly uncomfortable. If it were anyone else or we didn't have any context, people would likely be bashing the guy. Not trying to be a dick as I appreciate the work Neeson has done over the years. It's more of a philosophical question. Has the media made me overly paranoid and distant? Has it distorted a male's view of how to show affection, or is there a double standard or sorts for NGO workers? Should I also be allowed to hold children in the same way he does? Nieces/nephews? A close friend's kid? Neighbours' kids? I'm not saying that how he's holding them is wrong in itself, just that anyone else holding stranger's kids the same way would likely get labelled. I don't even hold nieces and nephews like that. Am I weirdly paranoid/overly cautious, or just safe?

Re: Scott Neeson receives honorary doctorate for Cambodian charity work
Sadly I agree . (2014) I was walking down the street in PP (street 63) with my visiting granddaughter (father is African) and her mother (white) when she was bitten by an ant. I was holding her hand as we walked. She let out a loud scream and I almost shit myself. Not because she screamed but because of the reaction of people around me. As a group surrounded us one of my tuk tuk drivers arrived and pushed through and explained the family situation.
I was escorted to my home by police and had to show evidence that she was a relative and that my daughter was her mother.
Great that people were looking out for the young girl but it was fucking scary for me and her mother.
Scott has done and is doing an amazing job and is to be respected not suspected.......

I'm all for kids being kept in isolation bubbles that only women are allowed to enter.Bitte_Kein_Lexus wrote: ↑Sat Nov 25, 2017 8:07 am We often talk about how western dudes shouldn't be holding kids who aren't their own too tightly.

its a shame that fucking society and the media have made us question every man walking with a child
