Association of Chinese from Vietnam, Cambodia & Laos, 2008

Abstract

Mission: The original mission was to help Chinese refugees from Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos settle in Hawaii. Help came in the form of cultural assimilation, language assistance, employment opportunities, living arrangements and perhaps most importantly, helping to contact 'lost' relatives. The association's current mission is more directed at furthering its members interests in their professional pursuits, as well as keeping the younger generations in touch with their cultural heritage.
