KHMERICAN: noun; a person or organization striving to improve the quality and well-being of Khmer America.
KHMERICAN was created to serve the people and organizations interested in the state of Khmer America. Our commitment is to provide an online platform that encourages public engagement, discussion and connection of Khmer communities across the US and abroad. To fulfill this commitment, we publish original content and provide resources on and about Khmer America.
We understand that news and information about Khmer America are scattered in many venues, confined to a few individuals, organizations and institutions. KHMERICAN’s goal is to mobilize these information gatekeepers and tap the power of community members to work collectively as informants and contributors. By forging these relations, we hope KHMERICAN becomes the online hub where visitors can follow the progress of the changing landscape of this emerging diaspora.
