KBTC Profiles: Khmer - A Connection to Culture

Savong Lam is a 2nd-generation Cambodian American and Tacoma resident. Savon and about a dozen other Cambodian American families living in Pierce County founded Khmer Language Arts and Culture Academy, or “KLACA.” The academy annually provides language and cultural training for 40 to 50 Cambodian-American children, ranging from pre-teens to seniors in high school. KLACA students also learn traditional dance and performance arts that they display at parties, sports events and other occasions throughout Puget Sound.

I remember Savon from San Jose. Great to see that she’s teaching the young community
