Founder

CPDO started with the demand of the students who came from far and near the Phnom Penh city asking for help with education and job training skills. Granted their wish, a director name Kim Sothy and some volunteer students all put their mind and efforts together to establish Children and Poor Student Development Organization to offer free education and job training facility.

I Kim Sothy, CPDO’s director, I would like to say a big thank you to “Your Cambodian Street Children Organization” ( YCSCO) and their director, Sorn Lorn for their over all support, guidance and help with the arrangements and funding to my NGO.

All the children and CPDO Workers greatly appreciate YCSCO contribution, and I promise to work hard to help our Cambodian children have a better chance of life and succeed in the future.

The Traditional Khmer Apsara Dancer ...

The Traditional Khmer Apsara Dancer is at the heart of Traditional Khmer Classical Dance, the enchanting Apsara character, with graceful hand gestures and refined swaying body movements bring a special charm to the religious ambience of Khmer art and culture. The slow graceful movements that correspond to the character are vastly intricate, representing a plethora of meanings that it would take years of study to fully understand.

The Apsara dancer plays a dominant role in Cambodian Culture, both modern and traditional, as images of her can be found throughout Cambodia. Adorned with gold headdresses, silken tunics, skirts and lush jewelry the Apsara character is one of the most beautiful and identifiable characters in Cambodian Dance and History.

The sleek looking leading Apsara dancer is eloquently decorated in Customary Jewelry, a traditional White Silk Kaben with a white top. The non leading dancers are decorated in pink kabens and customary jewelry as well as the golden flower in each of the non leading dancers hand. This is truly a very crisp and clean painting by one of the talented and leading painters in Cambodia.

Displayed in several of the images below is some of quintessential postures found in the Cambodian dance.

These beautiful paintings are rich in color with a beautiful transition from light to dark (left to right) the 5 towering pillars of Angkor Wat are captured in many of the backgrounds with other figures, while the strength of many of these pieces remains the strong contrast of the golden crown, jewelry and skirt of the Apsara dancer in relation to their scenic setting. A wonderful painting displaying the lively posture and pronounced hand movements which make the Apsara dancer so attractive.
