On 20–21 May 2026, Lutheran Hope Cambodia Organization (LHCO), through the HRDP-GRACE Project funded by ELCA and BfdW, conducted Disaster and Climate Change Awareness Raising sessions for students from five primary schools across Sangke Satap, Rasmey Samaki, and Trapeang Cho communes.

– Enhancing knowledge of disaster risk management, disaster risk reduction, and climate change for commune councils, village chiefs, school support committees and youth.
