NCHM employs a holistic and integrated approach to its programming. There are four programming areas. 1) Increase the awareness of the Cambodian Genocide: Our long-term goal is to bring justice to the Cambodian Genocide survivors through mobilizing the broader society by increasing people's awareness of the Cambodian Genocide and its long-lasting impacts on the Cambodian community. NCHM provides guided tours of our permanent exhibition, Remembering the Killing Fields, and the Memorial; dialogues with visitors; and genocide workshops. 2) Facilitate healing through storytelling and shared memories.: The Remembering the Killing Fields exhibition tells lives under the Khmer Rouge based on more than 40 life histories told by local survivors. The exhibition provides a forum for dialogues among Cambodians from different generations, and between Cambodians and non-Cambodians. Since 2017, we have worked with Ada Cheng, a storyteller/producer, to incorporate storytelling into NCHM's programming. We aim to create a safe environment for participants of all ages, in which many of them share their stories for the first time in their lives. One Cambodian woman who lived through the genocide said, "it feels like something heavy in my head has been lifted. It feels like haling." 3) Culture and Healing Arts: We believe in the power of the arts in healing. NCHM, in collaboration with musicians, dancers, artists, and professionals, employs a holistic approach to address complex challenges that survivors and their families face. NCHM provides various activities that community members can use to explore the process of healing. We offer dance, music, and language classes; collaborations with artists to conduct workshops and exhibitions; and peer support groups, which incorporate music into their activities. In 2020, we launched "Music Connection," a virtual program that brings music and conversation to Cambodian seniors who have been staying at home and feeling isolated. 4) Foster youth leadership in social justice and peace building: NCHM provides a unique environment that facilitates critical thinking and learning, discussion and dialogue, and creative processes in which youth and young adults explore their heritage and identity, and their roles in the community as well as in a broader society to bring justice to the community and to advocate peace building. 81414 81414 81414 Laura Ouk President 2 0 0 0 Sophoan Khoeun Vice President 2 0 0 0 Brian Wells Treasurer 2 0 0 0 Christina Pin Balbuena Secretary 2 0 0 0 Simone Cottrell Member 1 0 0 0 Rathanak M Keo Member 1 0 0 0 Phoebe Lincoln Member 1 0 0 0 Tola Livesey Member 1 0 0 0 Melody Sok Member 1 0 0 0 Saramani Wells Member 1 0 0 0 Paul Chhorm Executive Director 10 14017 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IL Kaoru Watanabe 2831 W Lawrence Ave Chicago IL 60625 7738787090 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 116782 101470 196080 175650 190511 780493 116782 101470 196080 175650 190511 780493 780493 780493 1 1 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Business Expenses;532|Program Expenses;4580|Dues and Subscription;120|In Kind;1920|Legal Fees;1550|Bank charges Paypal fees;156|Supplies;915|Telephone and Telecommunications;3425|Other operations;0|Other types of expenses;2282|Travel and meetings;5874^Total;21354^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 Description;EOY Amount^Account receivable;2740|Merchandise for gift shop;1544^Total;4284^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 26 Description;EOY Amount^Total accounts payable;1424|Total other current liabilities;16345^Total;17769^
