Under the Patronage of the late HRH Princess Buppha Devi lead figure of the Khmer Ballet and the Support of UNESCO, the dance and music conservatoire of NKFC, a non-profit organisation, taught them since 2007 the discipline in the ancestral khmer tradition: between meditation, praying and mastering the 4500 gestural, the silent language of the classical repertoires, 5 days/week, 6 hour/Day.

The Nginn Karet Foundation for Cambodia (NKFC) is a grass-roots charity created in 1994 to help 14 selected villages just released from the Khmer Rouge, living in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Angkor. The Aim of Foundation is to empower village people in Cambodia with the knowledge and resources to secure their basic needs through a partnership programme for a sustainable future. By 1999, 2,868 families were empowered to lead sustainable and dignified livelihoods. The Nginn Karet Foundation for Cambodia is committed to helping disadvantaged villagers to help themselves, thereby improving their life expectancy and living standards. The small NKFC staff are Cambodian, working as a family in a low profile, efficient manner and together make daily visits to the 14 villages on motorbikes. They work at grass roots level, hand in hand with the villages and each other, as our programmes are interlinked. All NKFC staff are insured first with Indochine Insurance and now with Asia Insurance. The required international expertise is contributed mainly by our Boards of Trustees. All our programmes are designed after detailed consultation with the local authorities at senior governmental and provincial level, as well as with the villagers themselves.
