Cambodian Reconciliation Committee

Cambodian Reconciliation Committee (CRC) was established in 1999 by Mr. Sopheaktra Nou and a group of dedicated young and old Khmer citizens. The members voluntarily help put this organization together for the Khmer community in Fresno County. Not only that they wanted to help reunite the community, but to help those who are in needs and has problems that they can not solve it on their own due to the lack of the English language. Above all, CRC action is centered upon the need to build harmony and cohesion among Cambodian people.
CRC is a new organization dedicated to help serve the community of both elderly and young Khmer American. Since1999, the CRC has persisted and grown. In 2001, the State and Federal Government have granted non-profit status.
CRC also center their goal on education. Both the Executive Director and the committee, organized Cambodian High School Commencement every year to teach Khmer graduates the importance of a higher education. We believe strongly that learning is the foundation for the reconstruction of Khmer's society in America.
Khmer population in Fresno is the smallest community in nationwide. For this reason, CRC think it is time to help bring back our Khmer people together once again!
Did you know the famous Ancient Architect in Cambodia is called Angkor Wat? This symbol signified a powerful meaning for Khmer community to reunite and help support our own people.
