The Cambodian American Council held Art of Survival event on April 7 — the second event in a series called Remembering the Past, Welcoming the Future. This series was initially created in 2015 to mark 40 years since the Cambodian Genocide and to support the healing process for survivors and their families. This event was free and open to the public.
