A fundraiser to help families living in rural areas of Cambodia will take place at the Wat Ratanak Mondol Buddhist Temple located at 3066 E. North Ave. in southwest Fresno on Saturday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Donations will help build water wells to provide clean water to families and school supplies for children.

Food, vendors, karaoke and Khmer traditional dance performers will be present. Admission is free.
