“We want the younger US-born generation to know about their Khmer culture, the geography of Cambodia, as well as what Cambodia is like today.”Despite being so far away from their homeland, Cambodians in the United States never forgot to come together to celebrate their shared ethnic culture. Near Washington, a small group of Cambodians are again organizing an annual celebration to showcase their culture, even during times of difficulties.
This is the sound of organizers of the upcoming Cambodian Community Day 2010, an annual event showcasing Cambodian culture this Sunday, August 22, in Alexandria near Washington.
Organizers of the Cambodian Community Day say that despite financial and human resource shortages, the group is more than capable of making this year’s event another success.
Yann Somony, President of the CCD, explains that such difficulties do not come in the way of the festival’s main goal.
