In the coming weeks, a group of volunteers will be hosting a dance training in the city of Houston, expecting at least 10 foreigners to learn Karenni traditional dances.
“This is just one way of us, showing that we still love our unique cultures and love to share with anyone who loves them, and we want to have it happen,” said Phe Bu, the Chairman of Karenni Community of Houston. We did not know until very recently that a number of students, even teachers, and community volunteers in the refugee agencies, passionately expresses interests, and we are proud to get started soon, he added.
The volunteer teachers will be among the Karenni youths from Houston, in which they will be taking turns to teach. As to how soon they plan to start the program is not yet sorted out.
The Karenni people celebrated their 5th Kae Htoe Boe festival on april 14th in Houston, with at least 350 attendants from various cities in the state of Texas, and at least 20 foreigners ranging from school teachers to community volunteers.
We will be doing this type of festival on a yearly basis no matter how difficult the situation may be because this is a piece of our history that we love to promote and build upon, said Oo Reh Sor, Secretary of Karenni Community of Texas, at the celebration. The responsibility rests upon our shoulders.
Houston is one of the seven Karenni-living Texas cities, and on a national level it is believed to have the highest Karenni population at 620, according to a report presented by KnCT, which is the biggest body, made up of the seven cities—San Antonio, Amarillo, Nacogdoches, Dallas, Austin, Houston, and Fort Worth.
In retrospect, Texas is one of those states, seeing the most influx of Karenni family coming from elsewhere, for several reasons such as family reunion, employment opportunity and weather preference.
