The Apsara Art Association in Phnom Penh aims to preserve Cambodian arts and culture by giving teachers the opportunity to teach Cambodian dance and music to disadvantaged children.
The Apsara Art Association, an NGO, was founded in 1998 by Mr Chhay Sopha and Mrs Vong Metry, artists from the Royal University of Fine Arts. The association’s school provides performing arts training (dance, music, classical and traditional theater) and gives foreign language lessons.
It also supplies schooling, accommodation, food and daily necessities to orphans and poor children.
Khiri Travel has been including a visit to the Apsara Art Association in its programs for several years already and has supported the association regularly with donations. For many of our customers this visit was one of the highlights of their trip.
During weekdays you can witness the children practicing dance and music. The children perform once a week on Saturday. Special performances can be organised.
Since November 2005, Khiri Travel (Cambodia) has been sponsoring the monthly salary of two teachers at the Apsara Art Association as well as taking clients to enjoy the dances and contribute to the school’s survival.
