A JAPANESE company has donated 690 bicycles to students in Kampong Cham and Kampong Chhnang provinces, the Ministry of Information announced yesterday. Information Minister Khieu Kanharith said the donation was designed to help children living in poverty to stay in school. “Most of the poor students abandon school because the school is far from their houses, so the bike is very important for them,” he said. A representative of the company said the Japanese were “so happy” to have donated the bicyles.
