Congratulations Mr. Sophan, I wish your program with great success and that your eandeavor brings in Khmer families and engaged them in a task to preserve their own language and identity.
Please keep us posted on your projects. Since you are a supporter of the Khmer language initiative, I think you'll also appreciate the works of others in this field. Please allow me to share with you this link of a similar project in Vietnam. http://www.khmerkromchildren.org I am sure you also know about the projects in Surin of Mr. Cheymonkol as well. Across various diaspora, our Khmer identity is on the surge of a reawakening. I believe this is an exciting time for our people and I consider these actions to be a renaissance of the Khmer culture. Good luck! Regards, Keo Cham On Sat, Jan 8, 2011 at 6:53 PM, S. Sophan <[email protected]> wrote: > *Khmer Language is the most important part of Cambodian diaspora in > abroad.
