Booths across the venue will highlight the diversity of Cambodian craftsmanship and agricultural excellence. Live painting sessions, silk kroma stalls, dried fruit vendors, Kampot pepper tastings, carved wooden decor, and even premium bird\u2019s nest products will all be on display, showcasing the best of what Cambodia creates. Every purchase contributes directly to the charity beneficiaries, meaning every riel spent goes toward making a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event is spearheaded by a collaborative team including the Infinity Program first creation team, the Cambodia Chinese Commerce Association (CCCA), the Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of Women\u2019s Affairs, Factory Phnom Penh, and Urban Village.
