Free Arts Training for 150 Children in Cambodia
The war from 1975-79 decimated the Cambodian arts, with few masters of the traditional arts forms surviving the terrible period of the Khmer Rouge genocide. Since 1994, KCDI has been working to revive and now protect and promote the traditional arts. This project now supports up to 150 impoverished children, aged 8 – 17, from surrounding villages to receive free quality tuition in the arts also as vocational training. Children from very disadvantaged backgrounds receive additional support.
