takes place Saturday November 11 at the Russian Cultural Centre, 103 Norodom (two blocks north of Independence Monument) – two shows, 3:30 & 6 pm; Admission by donation.
The concert format, combining many styles of music, is a big hit here. After a similar July event, listener Naly wrote: “…most of all, the audience greatly appreciated the mixing of classical music, ragtime/ jazz music, Cambodian traditional music, Cambodian/Italian opera and Canadian folk music together.. ? the show will surely be appreciated by Cambodians and foreigners of all ages. Thank you again, this was one of the most enjoyable evenings I’ve had in many years. Congratulations and many thanks.”
KAVTV’ss electrical-electronic training gives hope, skills and employment aid to people with polio, club foot amputations, and other disabilities. Its 90%+ success rate beats that of many programs worldwide. Graduates work in companies like JVC, Sony and Camintel, or open their own repair shops in many provinces as well as in Phnom Penh.
Three marriages are counted among recent graduates. With new skill and economic clout, they can take full part in Khmer society. KAVTV Director Hem Phang has great vision and heart for his students. Himself an amputee, he keeps track of them all as they make their success in life.
Canada’s Cambodia Support Group (CSG), the concert co-sponsor, is a proud partner of KAVTV. “This is one of the very best projects I have seen in 16 Cambodia visits,” says Arne, a CSG Director. “I spend lots of time at the school, and we just forget disabilities in its lively climate of ABILITY carried on waves of laughter and learning.”
