- [Chem] We chose this place we're here because it is central, from Rochester, St. Paul, Eagan.
- [Sour] We're sitting on a 42-acre lot.
(Khmer language) - [Knetter] A lot of people maybe don't even know all the beautiful things that are here.
(Khmer language) - [Chem] We want to show to the world that we want to carry on and leave it on to the next generation to come.
- [Sok] We know that we're keeping the culture alive from generation to generation.
- [Sour] We have such traumatic memories of the genocide and able to find peace here on the ground of Hampton, Minnesota.
