Phchum Ben at Wat Khmer Samacki in Richmond, VA and Fundraising. We would like to thank Bong Khan and Bong Pim for their kindness and their hospitality.
We had a great time with my friends and other people at the Temple. The Temple President and his Board Members were very nice to us. Every hour they came to check with us and the vendors near us to see how we were doing. They also told us to get breakfast, drinks, tea or coffee and at lunch time they came to invite us to get lunch. When we were busy, they brought food, drinks ,and desserts for us. I went to the bathroom and, on the way back, I stopped at the food area and there many kinds of food. People were friendly and invited us to come again so they can help buy LFF merchandise. At the Temple they have chairs and Tables for you and your family to sit and eat and they also have umbrellas mounted in the tables. It is a nice place. The temple itself isn’t big like the Maryland Temple but the complex is on a 28 acre plot. This temple was just built about 5 years ago. It’s a beautiful place and is kept up very well. I hope you all can join us at Khmer New Year at Wat Khmer New Year next April.
