(rbu) A Courageous Woman-Journalist

• Bopha Phorn | 2013 Courage In Journalism Award 
  
  What a rare woman-journalist,
  With all courage in own hand,
  Risking her life as an optimist,
  Covering matters of her brand.
  
  
  
  

  
  Land disputes, deforestation,
  Human rights abuses, others,
  Under sprayed bullets, often,
  Thru her heart she conquers.
  
  She was offered as a Winner,
  For her achievements so dear,
  An IWMF Award of high honor
  That's P. Bopha of Cambodia.
