Champey 2015 – more new beginnings
The tourist season in Cambodia is in full force and we are so proud that Champey Academy recently seems to have been “ discovered” by tourists. Visiting tourists have the opportunity to watch classes and learn about the history and process of learning classic Cambodian dance at Champey.
Additionally, we are currently in discussion with some of the smaller local hotels near the school about the idea of hosting “ mini – performances” where a small group of senior students would perform a late afternoon short series featuring 2 or 3 dances , lasting for about 30 minutes total, to tourists staying at the hotels. Stay tuned for updates!
Other big news… We are pleased to announce the arrival of a new director at Champey. Beginning mid - March, Mr. Meth Van Thy will be replacing our outgoing director Mr. Wan Sithen who is leaving to pursue other opportunities. Sithen has been with Kasumisou Foundation for many years and we wish him the very best! Our new director, Mr. Meth Van Thy, a graduate of the Royal University of Fine Arts, is an established professional with more than 20 years of experience in the non-profit arena developing and supervising performing arts programs for disadvantaged women and children.
As always, we are deeply grateful to our wonderful donors . None of this would be possible without you!
With our warmest regards,
Barbara & Mark Rosasco
