Description
KhmerConnection was conceived in the Summer of 1999. Like any venture, it began as an idea hoping one day to become reality. The story starts out with three college students that wanted to do something worthwhile with their time. After some careful consideration and a much-heated debate they were still not a penny closer to a goal. So with much time to kill and boredom clawing at their minds, they went to their computers and did what almost all Asian-American college students do today... they surfed the web. After a couple of minutes on the Internet, they stumbled upon a Cambodian website. It was then when light bulbs began appearing in their minds. They always said they should do something for the Cambodian community, but never quite knew where they could place their efforts. After coming upon a few more sites, they decided that creating a web portal for the Cambodian community was what they wanted to do. Henceforth, KhmerConnection was born.
Okay, so things are somewhat embellished and that�s not exactly how it went but you get the idea (it actually started as the pigment of one of the developer's imagination). As time rolled on, so did the design process. Ideas kept pouring in and changing, and the development team worked to keep on track amidst hordes of midterms, finals, and other commitments. However, we were committed to our goal, and after countless trips up and down California, late night sessions, a couple dozen boxes of Krispy-Kreme(tm) donuts, and gallons of coffee, we've finally made it!
We started KhmerConnection in hopes of bringing about positive change in the Cambodian community. We saw disjointed efforts by various parties to create Cambodian websites to serve the Cambodian people, but we felt that they all lacked in one quality, communication. The internet has been realized as a lightning-quick medium to spread information, but Cambodians have not put this power into use yet. Our goal is to use the Internet to empower Cambodians with words, opinion, and imagination.
