Description
Scope/Content: Khambang Sibounheuang was born in Ban Kalong, Savannahkhet, Laos. He went to a buddhist school until he was about the age of ten; he mainly took care of his family. He went to college and went on to write two books. At 17, he joined the army. Wanting to escape a communist regime, Khambang escaped to Thailand, and then the United States. After coming to the United States with his spouse and children, he went to law school and military school and even came to teach a high school class. He encourages future generations to keep the Laotian culture alive.
