Cambodia is a country with diverse cultures, peoples, and religions. There is evidence that conflicts which arose in the past were because of religious differences. Cooperation Circle (CC) members believe that working for interfaith dialogue must begin with themselves, and then is passed on to others around them—from the home, to the outside community, and to the greater world. They believe that if they commit to the basic teachings of their religions, they will make better themselves as individuals and as a group of people teaching and preaching about peace. This CC continues to build a multi-religious community as they organize themselves as an organization, conducting interfaith dialogues among the youth and adults.
