Sarus Exchange Program organized a trip to Kampong Cham province, Cambodia in March 2011 for students to spend a weekend with children at the Buddhism and Society Development Association (BSDA) learning Khmer sculpture and culture. The students visited BSDA, played with children, watched a dance performance, took photos, interviewed staff to write papers, tried new experiences, and explored Khmer art, architecture, and sculpture to build connections between Cambodian and Vietnamese students.
