Herself Cambodian, Wife of US Ambassador Aims to Help Young Women

For the first time, the wife of the US ambassador to Cambodia is herself a Cambodian. Sotie Heidt, whose family name is Kenmano, fled the Khmer Rouge in the 1980s and resettled in the United States. She lost both parents and other relatives to the Khmer Rouge, and she decided when she left the refugee camp on the border she would pursue higher education.
