<div><strong>Kevlar for Cambodian Journalists: Help Them Survive to Tell the Story</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cambodian reporters are heading into war zones with no protection. They urgently need your support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On July 25th, heavy fighting broke out between Cambodia and Thailand. In just two days, more than 100,000 people were displaced. Both sides have accused the other of war crimes—targeting civilians and using banned weapons that could leave lasting devastation for decades.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We hope the violence ends soon. But while it continues, we need to be on the ground documenting what’s happening—before it’s lost, denied, or quietly rewritten. The world has a right to the truth. But in Cambodia, journalism is dangerously under-resourced, and many reporters are heading into war zones with no protective gear at all.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Most journalists in Cambodia work freelance or for underfunded outlets. A decent flak jacket can cost more than they’ll earn for the entire story. Still, they go. Because someone has to.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We can’t allow another war to go undocumented. Not again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Protective gear is hard to find and even harder to afford. Your donation could be the reason one more journalist makes it home. It could literally save a life—or at least keep vital organs where they belong.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donations will go directly toward reliable flak jackets, plate carrier vests, helmets, and trauma kits for journalists on the ground. Any remaining funds may also be used to deliver essential supplies—like food, medicine, and hygiene kits—to civilians in frontline areas during our reporting deployments.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Reporters covering the current conflict will be able to access and share the equipment free of charge, and it will remain available for future deployments. This isn’t just about one war. It’s about making sure the people who risk their lives to tell the truth can keep doing it—this time, and the next, and the next.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lets keep journalists safe. Because the last time no one was watching, two million people died.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

<div>**Note: This text has been edited to reflect that while this fundraiser was launched by me in my personal capacity as Nathan Southern, current President of the Overseas Press Club of Cambodia (OPCC), it is not an official OPCC initiative. The OPCC has not endorsed or contributed to the wording of this appeal and bears no responsibility or liability for the fundraiser, the purchase, storage, or distribution of equipment. All responsibility and legal liability lies solely with me.
</div>
<div>That said, all protective gear acquired will be made freely available to OPCC members and other journalists working in Cambodia who need it, now and in the future.*
