MY VILLAGE

We are Khmer Krom, one of the biggest ethnic groups in the south of Viet

Nam. We live by farming – mostly rice – and fishing on the Mekong River. Life is

sometimes hard as our work depends heavily on the weather. When it is not harvest

time, the men of the village go fishing from early morning and don’t return until

late afternoon. By the time they return, most of the village women will be waiting

for them on the river bank. They wait to buy the fish, which they will later sell at

the local market or bring to the nearby town for a higher price. Our children will be

there too. We love running around the beach and waiting for the boats to come in.

Our most important festival of the year is the Chol Chnam Thmay, which

celebrates the New Year. It falls in mid-April. Every family tries to prepare well

for the festive activities. The community also visits and helps poor families so that

everybody has a happy New Year.
