Noi Sengsourigna Visiting The US



Lao singer and activist Noi Sengsourigna is currently travelling the United States, learning more about US culture and communities. Her travels have taken her to Washington, Washington D.C., New York, Wisconsin, Minnesota and California this year.

She hopes to bring attention to the amazing work at the Sengsourigna Children’s Music Center (SCMCC) which is working under the umbrella of Social Science Researchers Art of Speaking Promotion Association or SRASPA.  The inspiration for the Center came about in 1982 in Sihome Village. There Noi Sengsourigna’s father ran the Traditional Music Center. The Sengsourigna Children’s Music Center is devoted to teaching dance, music and Lao culture to Lao children in Shihone primary schools and other locations. In addition to dance and music, children are taught painting, drawing, reading, storytelling and other graphic arts.

You can find out more at http://noiscmcc.com/SCMCC.html. Those who’ve had an opportunity to visit with her have found her to be a wonderful conversationalist with exceptional ideas and a generous character. She’ll be leaving the US on June 26th.

Asian American Press recently conducted an interview with her.
