Together, we will explore how Cambodians honor their ancestors through the sacred celebration of Pchum Ben, a time of remembrance and reflection.
In addition to their exploration, ASU is proud to present a memorial wall dedicated to the memories of those who lost their lives, as well as to the survivors who continue to carry their legacies forward. This wall serves as a powerful reminder of resilience and hope in the face of unimaginable loss.
To enhance the gathering, a Cambodian Buddhist monk will be present to offer blessings for all who wish to partake in this spiritual experience.
ASU invites the campus to join them in honoring the past, celebrating resilience, and fostering a deeper understanding of this significant history.
