Cambodian Living Arts
A Project of World Education
Supporting the revival of traditional art forms of Cambodia and inspiring contemporary artistic expression
Cambodian Living Arts was founded by Arn Chorn-Pond, a Cambodian-American refugee featured in the Emmy nominated movie, The Flute Player. Originally called the Cambodian Master Performers Program, Arn founded the organization to support the music teachers who helped him survive the horrors of the Khmer Rouge.
Cambodian Living Arts (CLA) supports the revival of Cambodian art forms, many of which were nearly lost under the Khmer Rouge, and inspires the contemporary expression of Cambodia’s arts. We support approximately 300 students across Cambodia in 19 classes led by some of the country’s most respected musicians.

Cambodia Landmine Museum & Relief Facility
“I want to make my country safe for my people” Aki Ra, Founder & Mine Cleaner
The original Cambodia Landmine Museum was opened in 1998 by former child soldier Aki Ra. Aki Ra’s goal for the museum was to promote mine awareness and education for both tourists and Cambodians using his impressive collection of mines and UXO. It is estimated that he has cleared over 50,000 mines over the past 10 years.
