Marion Institute Executive Director Desa Van Laarhoven Talks About Her Recent Trip to Cambodia

Posted by on 5.1.2012

Desa Van Laarhoven, Marion Institute Executive Director, joined a delegation this winter on a trip to one of the Marion Institute's programs, Cambodia Living Arts (CLA).

She shared a few thoughts on her experience with Georgia Sparling of Sippican Week.

...at one performance in a heavily populated slum, Van Laarhoven said, “They were playing instruments and everyone stopped and listened. It’s bringing together a country to celebrate, instead of to cry.”
