The Kampuchea Krom Cultural Centre of NSW Inc. [KKKCC], located in Cabramatta, was founded by Mr. Sawathey Ek OAM in 1995. At just 26 years old, Mr. Ek established the Centre to address a significant gap in the recognition of Khmer Krom people within the Cambodian community in Sydney. Mr. Ek wanted to create an inclusive space that embraces all Cambodians and promotes Australian values of multiculturalism. The Centre's constitution, drafted nearly 30 years ago by Mr. Ek, highlights its mission to recognize Khmer Krom from South Vietnam. It serves their welfare needs and promotes Cambodian culture, language, and identity. KKKCC has evolved into a crucial cultural hub, serving as a place of worship for Buddhist followers, a Centre for Khmer language education, and a venue for seminars and media broadcasts. It plays a significant role in fostering intercultural dialogue and understanding. I have been informed that in 1998 the Hon. Michael Kirby AC CMG accepted the role of being a Patron to the Centre. Mr. Ek's vision and work has greatly benefited the communities.
