“Tivear Neak Meankun” (The Gratitude Day) is a part of Cambodian cultural values that most people do not have opportunity to practice or acknowledge its importance in the Khmer culture. The concept is to revitalize our precious and unique cultural values and to strengthen, reassure the natural bonding between the parents and children as one soul family. On this day, the Khmer-American children will have the opportunity to acknowledge the goodwill gesture, unconditional love relationship and pay respect to their parents’ commitment toward their children. Thus, children will have the opportunity to ask for parents’ forgiveness and enjoy the harmonious family dynamic together. Every second Saturday of August, “Tivear Neak Meankun” will be the date of Cambodian parents celebration. This year 2010, is the first special cultural event that will be observed. On August 14 and 15, 2010, at the Glory Buddhist Temple in Lowell – MA, some 12 Cambodian families will participate in this first kick off event. We are expecting around 150-200 participants.
