Sany Nhem (left) escaped Cambodia’s brutal Khmer Rouge regime in 1979 with her husband and eight children. She hadn’t returned to her homeland until her granddaughter, Fulbright Scholar Farrah Tek ‘10, accompanied her last year. The Fulbright grant supported a year in Cambodia for the U.S.-born Tek. She participated in an international tribunal to bring justice to victims such as her mother, grandmother, aunts, and uncles. Photo by Reza Marvashti 18
