CSAloha was found by two Cambodian students, Mr. Chanthoeun To and Mr. Savouth Chea, at the first place.

With advices from elders like local Khmers of Hawaii: Mr. Hongly Khuy, Dr. Chhany Sak Humphry, Mr. Anthony Deth, Mr. John Keat, Patric Keo; and Cambodian Students: Ms. Leakhena Nou, Mr. Sochet Vitou Tang, Ms. Sokha Neuov, Mr. Kaine Lim, Mr. Phalla Pan, Mr. Seiha Hul, Mr. Boriraks Sar, Mr. Chamroeun Heng, and others ,in Hawaii, CSAloha was offically formed into a registered independent organizations (RIOs) named, Cambodian Students of Aloha at the University of Hawaii (CSAloha).

Its idea was to provides assistance to all Cambodian students with a goal toward higher education and involved in promoting and preserving the Khmer Culture and promoting interactions and understanding among people of Khmer heritage and those who bear interest in Cambodia and/or her culture and people.

With the help from Cambodian ladies, Aunties,in Hawaii (called, Meegn, in Khmer), by providing us the time, food, and more, CSAloha could be able to succeed its goal of most of activities, such as, the Khmer New Year Celebration in 1997, 1998, and 1999 in Hawaii.

CSAloha has joined with the University of Hawai'i Lab School and the local Cambodian community of Hawaii to host the cultural events. This celebration was the big hit which has shown the world that Khmers are very proud of being Khmer and carried out their culture along with them and tought their children to follow up.
