Miriam Ritskes Comments:
Tonight I had the privilege to watch my hero receive the Distinguished Alumni Award at her Alma Mater,
Calvin University. This award is presented annually to alumni who have made significant contributions to their field of
endeavor and manifest a Christian commitment.
My moms work through Tabitha Cambodia and Nokor Tep, not only has impacted local Cambodians but has inspired
so many and it is shown today with my moms receivement of this award.
It was an honor and privilege to celebrate this moment with my mom and her fellow alumni.
