July 29, 2008: Roots of Peace proudly hosted Ambassador Sichan Siv, author, Golden Bones—former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Through a generous donation by Chevron to Roots of Peace in 2002, a portion of the mine affected region of Battambang Province was demined. His remarkable journey through the Cambodian jungle led Ambassador Siv to both The White House and the United Nations. Today, there are ricefields thriving on former minefields—an effort to restore the agricultural bounty of Southeast Asia.
