Cambodia Expats Online: Forum | News | Information | Blog

Hey, look, expats in Cambodia get a mention in this article about American citizens down on their luck in foreign countries. Shocker that:

“I am often called upon to assist U.S. citizen travelers who encounter difficult and often confusing situations that require immediate assistance, from stolen passports and money, incarceration for breaking foreign laws, political unrest, falling ill and even personal conflicts resulting in physical assault,” John Mackey, a four-year warden in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, wrote by email.

Be prepared.

Does you stoopid or sumthin?



Actually, I had no fucking clue and had to Google it, LoL.



WHAT IS A WARDEN?

· A private American citizen resident in a foreign country who volunteers to assist consular sections in disaster preparedness, welfare & whereabouts, and alerting fellow Americans to emergency situations.

· Wardens often have close ties to the U.S. expat community; therefore they are often the fastest and most effective route to distributing information to Americans and are essential when normal communication channels fail.

· They facilitate distribution of routine administrative information (changes in section work hours, procedures, embassy closures, voting information) of interest to the U.S. private community.

· Wardens provide important, timely safety and security information, which might include the times and locations of upcoming local demonstrations, areas of potential unrest due to local celebrations or elections, or information about a specific medical issue.

Holy shit, don t tell me they are on the payroll for this. Unless it is a simple cover and they are playing a double role in the host country.

Setting up a Go Fund Me beforehand is considered responsible, good planning and thinking ahead. Thus should be honored as such by doners over those who didn't.
