Fundraising Event at the Royal Embassy of Cambodia in Washington DC

Friday May 9, 2008, Royal Embassy of Cambodia in Washington DC - with the collaboration of nine Rotary Club branches, partners Halo Trust and the US State Department’s Office of Weapons Removal, and Cambodian American Heritage Inc. – held a wine (from Moldova) tasting and silent auction event to raise funds, with a performance of classical and folkoric dances by Khmerican dancers. More than $13 000 have been raised that will go towards The Halo Trust Foundation, an organization that manages a landmine removal project in 3 villages of the Northwest region of Cambodia along the K-5 Mine Belt. I joined to shoot the event and spend some more time again with the teachers and dancers that I have met in April at the temple during Khmer New Year festivities.
