Buddhists and Khmer Society Network (BKSN)

On March 15, BKSN organized a Buddhist ceremony in order to share merit with the victims and pray for peace for the Japanese people affected by the fearful and devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. We were able to collect $449 to contribute to reduce difficulties of Japanese friends and it was directly donated to a Counselor of the Embassy of Japan in Cambodia Mr. Tatsuya Machida who attended the ceremony. At the same time, BKSN also handed a Condolence Letter to Japanese People and their Government of Japan. click here to see the video clip from Cambodian TV of the ceremony held together with Mr. Tatsuya Machida of the Japanese embassy and Mr. Sotha Ros (INEB Executive Committee).
