Basis of the Platform: The ultimate goal of the party is to eliminate poverty and restore Cambodia to her rightful destiny which includes a life of dignity, safety, justice, peace, equality and liberty for all her people. All work will be done to bring us closer to that goal. The destructive nature of poverty on human life is undeniable. The Asian Development Bank is reporting that poverty remains the most pressing issue facing Asia. The widening gap between rich and poor is unjust and is threatening social stability. We know poverty is rooted in economic and social problems. We also know how to move people out of poverty. We respect the poor for their strength and resourcefulness and willingness to work hard. We want to do everything we can to assist them so they can support their family and share their knowledge and talents with society. Many of the action plans contained in this platform come from recent research and recommendations of many NGOs operating in Cambodia. This document also incorporates ideas introduced by United States President Lyndon Johnson for Americans in 1964 in his "War on Poverty". The main idea of this "War on Poverty" is to provide short term cash, food and medical assistance to the poor while preparing them to move into employment and out of poverty......The Prime Minister candidate for this party is Daran Kravanh.

February 26-27, 2011 - Leadership Training and Conference in Long Beach, CA


Long Beach, California

The momentum of the KAPP continued to grow over the weekend of February 26 and 27 in Long Beach, California. Five hundred people gathered to enjoy an evening of friendship and hope, particularly as its President, Daran Kravanh, shared his positive energy and love for Cambodia. Daran's wife, Bree, also spoke as did Dr. Arvind Singhal, an advisor to the KAPP. The emcees, Kundy Kol and Sophal Chourp provided warmth and sincerity to the audience.

The next day was planned to have Dr. Singhal provide a training to 40 people. However, twice that amount showed up to learn from Dr. Singhal's messages about the transformative power of love. Dr. Singhal is a Professor of Communication at the University of Texas, an expert on social change, and an author of 12 books. Everyone appreciated Dr. Singhal's friendly nature and his willingness to share his knowledge to bring new leadership and hope to Cambodia. Presenting along with Dr. Singhal, was Laurel Felt, an instructor at the University of Southern California. This free training continued the KAPP practice of investing in people and providing them inspiration to help the people of Cambodia.

The weekend was made possible by the tremendous teamwork of a group of men and women who shared their time, money, talents and heart to make the event possible. We hope each of them feels proud for the contributions they made. If you want to belong to a party that values human life, nurtures love and honors its members, please join the Khmer Anti-Poverty Party.

Boston, Massachusetts Gathering

Supporters of the Khmer Anti-Poverty Party gathered together in Boston on December 18th at the beautiful Marriott Long Wharf Hotel. The President of the Khmer Anti-Poverty Party, Daran Kravanh, has been traveling throughout the United States in the last year to share his vision for Cambodia and inspire people to join his efforts to end poverty in Cambodia. He expressed his gratitude to the many people who had traveled from California, Florida, Texas and other areas to attend. He also gave special thanks to the Americans who attended and showed their support to the Cambodian people.

Sophin Uon, of Massachusetts, gave opening remarks at the Boston event. He said, in part, "It is my pleasure to be with you today and welcome you to this event. It is always uplifting to surround yourself with people who share in your deep desire to help others... This kind of event helps bind us as brothers and sisters...Today my commitment is deep and my focus clear. I want to use my life to help make Daran the next Prime Minister of Cambodia."

Cathy Allen, a political consultant, was the featured speaker. Cathy has run or consulted on more than 500 winning campaigns in 34 states and 18 countries. Cathy talked about "bringing together the energy, spirit and momentum to bring democracy to Cambodia." She talked about the "amazing ride" of this campaign and is excited to see so many women and young people also involved. She talked also about enlightened, transformational leaders like Daran who are inclusive and are good listeners, who can see options and futures. She said, "Daran is the kind of guy who can win."
