OUR PEOPLE IN ACTION
DO I NEED TO AUDITION TO GET INTO THE CLUB?
No audition is required to get into the club, as we are a group of students that hopes to share a piece of culture with people of other backgrounds. All you have to be is open-minded and curious about Cambodia.
"I never knew there was such a club with people from my own country. Growing up alone in Singapore, it is rare to find a Cambodian community and I am glad to have found this group of people who can relate to me and my experiences. As the president of the club, I enjoy organising events to reach out to the student population and teach them more about my country’s past and history. I hope to spread the knowledge of my humble country to even more people, especially the incoming freshmen and continue to plan more creative and engaging events in the future."
- Bibi, President of Apsara Cambodia, School of Business, Year 1
"Leaving home and coming to study in a different country might make many people feel homesick, and I am no different. However, joining the Apsara Cambodia club and working together to promote our culture has made me feel closer to home. My experience with this club has taught me that home is more than just a place; it is the people around us."
- Meileang Ly, Honorary Finance Secretary of Apsara Cambodia, School of Economics, Year 1
