A concurrent RESOLUTION

TO CELEBRATE THE RICH CULTURAL HERITAGE, HISTORY, 
AND ENDURING CONTRIBUTIONS OF CAMBODIAN AMERICANS AND TO DECLARE APRIL 2026 
CAMBODIAN HERITAGE MONTH IN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina General Assembly appreciate the rich cultural heritage, 
history, and enduring contributions of Cambodian Americans who have helped 
shape and strengthen the communities in our Great State; and

Whereas, many Cambodian 
families came to the United States seeking refuge and opportunity, carrying 
with them deep-rooted faith, resilience, and determination to rebuild their 
lives while preserving their cultural identity; and

Whereas, faith has 
played a central role in the Cambodian American experience, serving as a source 
of strength, healing, and unity across generations; and

Whereas, spiritual 
institutions such as Wat Sao Sakh San Khmer Buddhist Temple in Wellford, the 
Spartanburg Buddhist Center of South Carolina in Spartanburg, and the Cambodian 
Baptist Church in Wellford stand as pillars of faith, compassion, and community; 
and

Whereas, the Cambodian 
Association of South Carolina, in partnership with Generations for America, is 
committed to building bridges between cultures and generations, fostering 
unity, encouraging civic engagement, and empowering future leaders; and

Whereas, these efforts 
reflect the shared values of faith, service, and community that strengthen the 
bonds uniting all South Carolinians. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the 
South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, celebrate the rich 
cultural heritage, history, and enduring contributions of Cambodian Americans 
and declare April 2026 Cambodian Heritage Month in the State of South Carolina.
