CHAEM LIM

My  paternal Grandfather,

 

was a hard working man just like my Grandmother Mork Nop. He was the source of my Y Chromosomes ands the grandson of a Chinese man from China.

 

 

 

MORK NOP

Mother of

SOVORN LIM

- a hard working,

disciplined Lady.

She was proud of her Grand father KIET

(Khmer Krom: Kramounsor) who was

 a great warrior, a nationalist fighting against the French’s occupation. Sadly now she is suffered from Alzheimer’s disease.

 

My Mother

BUNCHAN NUON

 

My Mother, BUNCHAN NUON, born in Phnom Penh,  is very much a private person who likes to stay out of troubles. She was the last one to leave Cambodia, having sent all her children to freedom in the Western world. My Mother likes Somlor Korko and it has become the family’s favourite.

 

 

My Father, SOVORN LIM was born in Takoe province. He was a politician who liked to talk about politics. He was well loved by all his relatives and friends because of his charm, his kindness, his caring nature. He liked soccer, basketball and dancing.
