Organizers estimate that at least 300 people attended the celebration of the Cambodian holiday that marks the end of the traditional harvest season.

BUXTON, Maine – Maine’s Cambodian community on Sunday received free Covid-19 vaccine shots during a pop-up vaccine clinic at the Cambodian Buddhist temple in Buxton, Maine.

Growing up in a small town (that was predominantly white) had its moments of isolation and disconnect, as I blindly navigated through finding my identity as a Cambodian-American and what that meant. Recently a good friend found and introduced me to this Cambodian Community Association of Maine. I look forward to learning and building a richer heritage that we can all be proud of sharing, with the rest of our Maine friends.

Over the past few years, my Cambodian community showed me that they didn't care as much about me remembering Khmer and the customs and traditions. What was most important to them was that I had come home. And on top of that, they could have cared less that I was gay!
