From Times Wire Reports
The U.S. Peace Corps has started its first mission to Cambodia, sending volunteers to teach English. An advance group of 30 volunteers from San Francisco was blessed by a Buddhist monk shortly after arrival.
English is seen as a vital means to getting a job in this impoverished country, which attracts 1 million visitors a year.
