Apsara

APSARA, if it is strong-willed and single-minded, will put the management, the promotion and the exploration of the Khmer cultural heritage into Khmer hands, even while it is a world heritage, into the same hands that sculpted it, that caressed it and protected it for so many centuries. And it will do this in the only way possible : by helping to form a new generation of qualified, caring Khmer specialists - technicians - intellectuals - thinkers and doers, who will be capable, on this international stage, of standing in the present with an arm around the past and eyes on the future.
