Through a post shared on the school’s Facebook page, Raintree showcased how students were immersed in the traditions and history of Pchum Ben, fostering a hands-on cultural experience.

Engaging in Tradition and History Raintree’s educational approach to Pchum Ben went beyond classroom teachings, providing students with the opportunity to connect deeply with the festival’s cultural significance. By building symbolic sand piles representing Phnom Meru, an important aspect of Pchum Ben, learners gained insight into how the festival’s traditions are linked to Buddhist beliefs. This hands-on activity not only highlighted the cultural richness of the event but also allowed students to understand the symbolic representations of the customs in an engaging manner.

Bringing Culture to Life with Traditional Rice Cakes The students also had the chance to create traditional rice cakes, another crucial part of the Pchum Ben celebrations. This experience allowed them to actively participate in the culinary traditions associated with the festival, adding an extra layer of cultural connection. Crafting these traditional foods is not only a fun activity but also a way to pass on and celebrate the rituals and heritage that have been cherished in Cambodian culture for generations.

Proud Moments for Raintree Learners Raintree International School expressed pride in its learners for embracing and connecting with these meaningful traditions. By integrating traditional activities like symbolic sand pile creation and rice cake making, the school demonstrated its dedication to cultural education and fostering a sense of appreciation and respect for local traditions among its students.

This celebration of Pchum Ben at Raintree not only provided an opportunity for students to engage with their heritage but also exemplified how education can serve as a bridge between generations, preserving important cultural values and practices.
