Khmer Voice: The Cambodian Literary Connection would like to wish you all a happy and prosperous Cambodian New Year 1997. As you know, this event is celebrated in the month of April. Traditionally, the celebration lasts five days starting April 13th-16th. However, since everyone is at work during the week, we always celebrate on the weekend closest to the 13th. This gives everyone, Cambodians and others, the opportunity to participate in the celebration. "Bon chol chnam tmei" ( New Year celebration) is one of the most important and biggest Cambodian celebrations. According to the Buddhist calendar, this is the year 2540.
