	BIG THANKS! All of us at Cambodia's Hope want to acknowledge Ben Justus, a graduating student of the School of Hotel Administration of Cornell University. Ben was inspired by his travels to developing nations while on Semester At Sea and the life story of philanthropist Chuck Feeney and the book, "The Billionaire Who Wasn't" to initiate the organization EGBOK - Everything's Gonna Be OK. EGBOK is about providing service through service. The hospitality industry offers thousands of jobs in developing countries for people to provide for their families. EGBOK is dedicated to helping children and young adults receive education and vocational training to gain practical and meaningful careers. Cambodia's Hope has been the first organization for which Ben has raised awareness and funds. We offer a heart felt thanks for his service.
