Sithy Yi (center) is performing the Coconut folk dance with her sister, Sithea (right), and a friend, Ouch (nickname), in a Buddhist temple in the Bataan Refugee Processing Center in the Philippines. The young man on the left in the back row is Rithear Chhang; the other two are unidentified. Each dance style has its own costuming convention, but the correct materials were not available in the camps, so performers improvised. Here the young women are wearing sarongs. The young men are wearing Salvation Army t-shirts and black pants in an attempt to be dressed alike.
