Advance notice that plans are taking shape for a trip to Cambodia from November 8th -- 22nd.

I'm desperately hoping the Pope holds on for another few weeks because I'll have to go to Krakow instead if he dies.

I'm hoping to visit MAG's mine clearance projects in Battambang Province with MAG Information Manager Sean Sutton -- who took the photo above.

It's part fact-finding, part journalism assignment. I'm in the process of sorting out the work I'll do while we're there but I anticipate I'll do TV, radio and written pieces while I'm there (and of course blog postings!).

Any interested newspaper/magazine editors, feel free to drop me a line.
