In the below part three (of four) in eTN 2.0’s interview with Cox, she is questioned about the amount and quality of the staff at her three orphanages. During the course of the interview, I asked her how the less than 20 people that are listed under Sunrise Children’s Villages’ website’s staff page could possibly look for the hundreds of children in three orphanages. This is where Cox began to unravel a little bit. It does appear that she is unaware about the technicalities of her company’s own website, as it supposedly contained outdated information. Is she being fully transparent about the number of workers at her orphanages? Are there really “hundreds of them that look after” her “kids?”

Cox’s Sunrise Children’s Villages has been also receiving massive help from Cambodia’s very own prime minister himself, Hun Sen. Prime Minister Sen is someone Cox has admitted to have loathed at some point. So, how did the two unlikely people end up collaborating to build Cambodia’s foremost orphanage organization? The answer may surprise. Watch the below eTN 2.0 presentation to find out her answer.
