HAPPY KHMER NEW YEAR !!

In April Cambodian people celebrated a Khmer New Year lasts for three days beginning on New Year's Day, most commonly April 13th but sometimes on the 14th in keeping with the lunar calendar. Khmer living in other countries may change the dates so as to celebrate on the weekend. This time of the year is at the end of the harvesting season. The farmers enjoy the fruits of their harvest and relax before the rainy season begins.

On the 13th April 2010 Sangkheum Center had celebrated a Khmer New Year event with more than 400 children participated. We played traditional Khmer games, Performed traditional dances, enjoyed delicious food and sang and danced together. All the children were very exhausted and happy.

Wish you all the best!!
