The PEPY Ride 2007 team was able to meet Loung Ung, author of "First they Killed my Father". Her book is a first hand account of life under the Khmer Rouge. Loung was as inspiring in person as she was on paper. Meeting Loung was a perfect finale to our trip as she was able to give us first hand information to connect the stories of Cambodia's history with the realities of its present.

Thanks to Loung for her time and for sharing her insites on Cambodian life with our crew.
