MY VILLAGE
We are the Khmer Krom, one of the biggest ethnic groups in the south of Viet Nam. We
live on farming – mostly rice – and fishing on the Mekong River. Life is sometimes hard
as our work depends heavily on the weather. When it is not harvest time, the men of the
village go fishing from early morning and don’t return until late afternoon. By the time
they return, most of the village women will be waiting for them on the river bank. They
wait to buy the fish, which they will later sell at the local market or bring to the nearby
town for a higher price. The children will be there, too. We love running around and
waiting for the boats to come in.

Our most important festival of the year is the Chol Chnam Thmay, which celebrates the
New Year. It falls in mid-April. Every family tries to prepare well for the festive
activities. The community also visits and helps poor families so that everybody has a
happy New Year.
