As teams prepared to come out of the field for Khmer New Year, the Cambodian government ordered Khmer New Year celebrations canceled and told everyone to stay in town, at work.

Herb Epp Bursary
The Foundation is thrilled to announce that Muserref Kuzucuoglu has been awarded the Herb Epp Memorial Scholarship for 2020. Muserref is enrolled in the Doctor of Philosophy, Religious Studies program at Wilfrid Laurier University. Recipients must be full-time or part-time Laurier graduate students in the Faculty of Arts or the Balsillie School of International Affairs who demonstrate an interest in international relations through their academic programs or volunteer commitments. The scholarship was established in memory of Herb Epp (1934-2013) by the Canadian Landmine Foundation through donations from family and friends, and through a generous pledge of support from Dr. Alistair Edgar, an Associate Professor in Political Science at Wilfrid Laurier, and the current chair of the Foundation’s board.
Congratulations Muserref!
