Only days after their conference in Taipei, Taiwan entitled, “Eighth General Assembly of Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organisation (UNPO)”, in which the Khmers Kampuchea-Krom Federation (KKF) is a member, the KKF delegates have continued their campaign to Tacoma, Washington State last weekend. Later joined by Mr. Chau Reap, Mr. Son Sophan, Mr. Chau Serey, Vice President of Western Coast of USA and Mr. Thach Sami, KKF President of the Tacoma Chapter, Mr. Thach Ngoc Thach, KKF President and Mr. Giap Tran, Treasure were greeted by over two hundred and fifty Khmer and Khmer-Krom community members from the local area. 
True to the words of Mr. Marco Perduca, who praised KKF as the fastest growing non-governmental organisation, members of the Federation had much to talk about during their campaign in Tacoma city. The KKF delegates took the opportunity to inform the participants of their most recent accomplishments and to thank the people who generously donated their time and finances towards The Hague conference held previously in September and October. They also extended their thanks and congratulations to the dragon boat racing teams for their outstanding effort and achievement during the Dragon Boat Racing Championships held in Toronto, Canada and the third Annual Asian American Water Festival, held just a week after the international races. Many of the community members continued to be enlightened about KKF’s success during the conference on Self Determination in International Law held at The Hague, Netherlands. Mr. Thach Ngoc Thach and other KKF delegates presented at that particular conference took this opportunity to share their knowledge and experiences amongst the many that could not be there. Furthermore, the participants were informed about the warm reception that KKF had received from the Khmer and Khmer-Krom people in Paris, France and the overwhelming support from Philadelphia, USA a week after. Their latest accomplishments in Taiwan was also highlighted in the conference, giving the audience a brief insight into one of the many activities initiated by KKF to help the millions of Khmer-Krom people worldwide and especially in Kampuchea-Krom to decide a future of their own choosing without fear or discrimination from the Vietnamese government. In their parting words, the KKF has appealed to all members of the Tacoma community to pledge their support and to extend a helping hand in fulfilling KKF’s mission and vision of initiating self determination on behalf of the Khmer-Krom people. For the many faces that turned up to listen have expressed their joys at hearing such astonishing accomplishments and have indicated their willingness to support KKF in the near future.
