VIDEO: New City Rotary Hosts Clarkstown Businessman, former Cambodian Refugee

Tim Chhim was the guest speaker at the Rotary Club of New City May 4 at La Terrazza.

Chhim, born and raised in Cambodia, was among the many million refugees slated to be executed at the end of the Viet Nam War.

He shared the story of his harrowing journey from the war-torn jungles of Southeast Asia to America, and how he worked to fulfill his goal to become a business success in Clarkstown.

The event was recorded by videographers from Rockland BOCES.
