�INDOCHINESE REFUGEES FOUNDATION, INC.
EXEC UT I Vl SUMMARY
The Indochinese Refugees Foundation is a non-profit, tax exempt, Mutual Assistance Association, incorporated in Massachusetts in 1977. The
Foundation has provided a qontinued networ~ of successful post-resettlement services for the past six years in the greater Lowell and Boston
areas. During the past year the Foundation provided several services
including: ESL, job coWlseling, and various support services, wider the
Indochinese Self-Help Project. Th~ overall goal of the Indochinese SelfHelp Project is to promote refug~e self-sufficiency. This project was
funded by a grant from the Department of Health and Human Services.
This application, from the Indochinese Refugees Fowidation, seeks a
continuation from the Off ice of Refugee Resettlement to continue and expand the present lndochin~se Sell - Help Project. 'fhe expanded project
would provide: a cost effec~ive, comprehensive, network of job development and work related English c,;. lets~es that would assist the increasing
numbers of Indochinese refugees in their journey toward self-sufficiency
in the U.S.
In summary, our plan is to µrovide intensive ESL and job cowiseling/
development to at leitst 80 t~iu~ces . In additi.on, support services such
as; Information and Refer·ra 1 and e111ergency interpretive services will be
given to approxiu1ately 200 refugees. Current studies and professional
research indicated that only with such an integrated approach can we
really effect refugee iudependence.
The common language and ethnic background of the leadership of the
MAA 1 s, such as the Indochinese Refugees Fowidation, enables us to assist
Indochinese Refugees to adapt to American culture in the most meaningful way. ln the long cun, when public support is no longer available,
a refugee's own ethnic conm1unity would provide continued and lasting
support which would lead to successful socio-cultural integration and
economic self-suffi~iency within the American society.
Therefore, it is vital, as well as cost effective, that the Indochinese Refugees Foundation continue its work in the Lowell area. This
application will SUlJi>Ort the need for such services, temporarily, witil
this state's R.F.P. process is completed in December of this year.

DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLICANT:
Members of the Indochinese Refugees Foundation are
dedicated to providing much needed post-resettlement assistance to their fet.low countrymen. This is demonstrated clearly in their long history of work that began in
1975 and continued to the present time. At that time,
many of the Indochinese refugees of the greater Boston
area joined together to form the New England Indochinese
C01D1Dunity, later established as the Foundation.
The Foundation had the unique objective of serving
all the ethnic groups of refugees without distinction of
race, religion, language, or political background. The
present Board of Directors is reflective of this objective
as it includes Iudochine~e people and American friends
frQ.m mally differ~nt back~rounds. The objectives of the
Foundation are to promote understanding and friendship,
to encourage and facilitate refugee independence from public assistance, and to preserve and develop cultural
heritage. (see appendix I-a)
The Indochinese itefugees Foundation was 'incorporated
in Mass. on January 27, 1977, with explicit objectives to
provide social adjustment services and to develop bilingual and bicultural education programs for Indochinese refugees. The Foundation was then sranted federal income
tax exemption under section 50l(c)(3) in 1980. The articles
_ incorporation, letters of support, 1980 Annual Report,
of
and our 1980-81 tax return are appended in appendix I-b
for your review .

materials. (II-g)
-Individual and Family Life Counseling to many refugees
-Legal advocacy
Cooperative Ventures:
The Indochinese Refugees Foundation has· sought to
cooperate in all of its works in order to maximize assistance and resources available to Indochinese refugees.
In this spirit, the I.R.F. sought and participated in the
following cooperative ventures.
1)
Prior to the establishment of the I.S.H.P. in Lowell,
efforts to help Indochin~se refugees were fragmented.
Assistance given by agencies and churches were crisis
oriented - lacking coordination and long-term planning solutions. · Within three months, the I.S.H.P. coordinated the development of the Indochinese Refugees
Services Steering Conunittee. This C0111Dittee has evolved into a community based effort to define, coordinate,
and develop resources for refugees. See appendix II-h
for the Committee's Statement of ~urpose.
2)
The I.S.H.P. assisted the local C.E.T.A. consortium to
reach Indochinese youths interested in the Suromer Youth
Employment Program. The Project generated over 50 applicants for 30 placements in these jobs. The staff
then provided the follow- up necessary to ensure successful participation in the program. (appendix II-i)
3)
The I.S.H.P. has also made an agreement to prepare and
refer ten candidates to the C.E.T.A. Adult Training
Program. (appendix II-j)
�-4-
4)
The bilingual staff consulted with the COlllDlunity Health
Clinic to develop and translate lite~~ture regarding
health and nutritlon for refugees. (appendix 11-k)
5)
The l.S.H.P. coqi>erated with the local antipoverty
agency, Community Teamwork, Inc., in translating and
distributing information regarding fuel assistance,
housing, and day care programs. The bilingual staff
assisted C.T.I. in processing over 50 applications for
housing and 40 applications for fuel a~sistance, (appendix II-1)
6)
Distribution of the Orientation Packages developed by
the Orientation Resource Center. (appendix lI-m)
7)
The Foundation signed an agreement wit~ the U.S. Public
Health Hospitals to assist them in reaching Indochinese
• refugees that were without medical coverage. (appendix
11-n)
Bicultural and Bieducational Development:
The Bicultural development of Indochinese refugees and
- the conmunities they are living in is one of the most crucial roles played by the MAA's. It is crucial because it
is a role that can only be performed by the MAA's due to
its coumWlity involvement.
When the Fowidation was established in Lowell, refugees
were a fragmented, isolated population often unable to find
basic necessities of life. Because of the role models and
contacts provided by our own Board of Directors, (made up
largely of former refugees), we have been able to tap directly
into the refugee c01Dnunity's own organizations and their
leaders.
1)
Symposium - On April 10th the I.S.H.P. sponsored the
first combined Indochinese Symposium and Cultural Evening in New England at the Univers~ty of Lowell. The
day-time program featured guest speakers and three panels on Cambodian, Laotian, and Vietnamese education,
career planning, and family structure. We were fortunate to have Mr. Jesse Bunch, Executive Director of
I.R.A.C. in Washington, D.C., as our keynote speaker,
Dr. Pho Ba Long, from the Orientation Resource Center
in Washington, D.C., ·four cross-cultural specialists
from the Center for Applied Linguistics in Washington,
D.C., and a variety of educational and human service
�-5experts from Mass. The day program was well received
by nearly 300 participants from various educational,
health, and social service agencies,_.sponsors and
friends of refugees all over and particularly from
Region Ill. The Cultural Evening featured songs, dances, instrument~, and customs from Cambodia, Laos, and
Vietnam. Th~ Fdundation was able to draw on the resources of over 80 Indochinese volunteers from across
the state, to deliver this outstanding show. The Foundation was also able to raise $1,600.00 to offset costs
not covered by the grant for the program. Both the day
and evening programs were over subscribed one week before the Symposium. Over 500 people attended the Evening Program. (appendix 11-o)
2)
Board members have provided technical assistance to
emerging self-help groups.
3) · Solic·i ted donations on behalf of these groups.
4)
Sponsored the development of the Laotian Dance Troupe.
5)
Secured a paid performance for the Troupe at the Lowell
International Festival. (appendix 11-p)
6)
Sponsored a bus ride to Boston to facilitate shopping
for ethnic foods.
Cognunity Activities:
During this year, members of the Board of Directors
participated in the:
-Southeast Asian Festival
-Lowell lnternationa·l Festival by providing the Laotian
Dance Troupe
-Whole World Celebration Program sponsored by the International Institute of Boston
-The I.R.F. co-sponsored the "Buddhist Salvation Service
and Ecumenical Witness for Cambodia ~.nd its People"
Ill.
IDENTIFICATION Of TARGET AR.EA AND POPULATION:
During the past year, there has been a tremendous influx of Indochinese refugees into Massachusetts, bringing
the latest totals to over 8,000 who have resettled in this
state. It is estimated that nearly fifteen percent of those
refugees have resettled in the greater Lowell area, exhausting existing resources such ~s; jobs, housing, medical and
social services.
�-6-
The first group of Indochinese refugees brought approximately 200 Vietnamese people to the Ereater Lowell
area between 1976-79. These refugees, generally sponsored by churches and family members, were educated and
capable of resettling independently. Then, between 1979
and the present timd, an additional 800 refugees were resettled in the Lowell area, this time largely of Laotian
descent, without sponsors or relatives to help them.
The l.S.H.P. conducted a needs assessment survey in
February of 1981 with 150 Indochinese refugees who arrived in Lowell after August, 1980. The survey showed
that these new arrivals differed from the 1976-79 arrivals in that most of them are unskilled and uneducated.
Since many of the 1,000 refugees mentioned above arrived
within a six month period, their lack of skills, education, sponsors, and other social support have left them
in· the most deplorable living situations.
As mentioned, this dramatic influx of unskilled refugees put a tremendous drain on the city's resources.
The low-income housing and entry-level jobs that onca
made Lowell attractive, are now non-existent. This has
resulted in a concurrent increase in the number of refugees dependent on public assistance for survival.
As can be seen in table one, in May 1980, there were
130 refugees receiving cash and medical assistance in
greater Lowell, or 28% of the refugee population. By
May 1981, there had been a 400% increase, bringing the
total of refugees receiving public assistance to 561 or
56% of the refugee populati~n. The projection for year
end 1982 by resettlement agencies and sponsors indicated
an increase of up to 700 arrivals for greater Lowell. If
similar patterns are followed, 84% of the refugee population will be receiving public assistance next year.

Many of the refugee families in Lowell live in crowded, one
and two bedroom apartments that are often without heat or water
in the winter, glass in the windows, or protection from fast increasing rents. They are often subject to medical and·financial
emergencies that are far beyond their ability to manage.
Despite our efforts to alert the cOD1Duni~y that our funding
is limited and thus the scope of service, requests for assistance
have inundated the Project. Ho$pital and health clinic staff, social service professionals, other local agency staff, and refugees
have continually called on our staff on an emergency basis.
Poor public transportation, lack of outreach, and unavailability of bilingual staff have kept the Indochinese refugees in
Lowell isolated from Boston area services. Prior to the establishment of the Indochinese Self-Help Project in Lowell, the only
service offered to the refugees were thr~e ESL classes that were
s~bcontracted to the local Adult Learning Center by the International Institute of Lawrence. The Institute of ,Lawrence was Wlable to provide case management or other support services to the
refugees.
In the Lowell area, there are three times as many Laotians
as there are Cambodians or Vietnamese. These new arrivals differ
from the 1975-76 refugees in that most of them are unskilled, Wleducated, and have little · experience in the 9-5 industrial work
pattern. Most of them do not h~ve the English skills necessary
to find employment. Without the proper preparation for employment
these refugees will inevitably beccme public charges.

PROPOSAL FOR CONTINUATION OF:
INDOCHINESE SELF-HELP PROJECT
NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Based on data collected during the Self-Help Project, the
700 plus refugees, who arrived between 1980-81, are generally
unskilled and uneducated. These problems are further complicated by poor health, inability to communicate, and a lack of
understanding of the new culture that surrounds them. The need
for post resettlement services is critical, for without proper
training and support, these refugees will join the millions of
alienated poor - isolated in their own communities and dependent on public assistance for their life tlme. The following
proposal for continuation calls for increased funding for the
present project in order to respond to the influx of refugees
in this area until December 11, 1981, when the Indochinese Refugees Foundation is able to secure fundi.ng on a state level.
IV.
OBJECTIVES
/
The overall objective of the Indochinese Self-Help Project
is to assist Indochinese refugees in their effort to achieve economic independence and social well being. The Self-Help Project proposes to continue and expand itq three components: ESL,
Job Development, and Social Support for an additional 3 months.
By providing these services we will addr~s~ the above menti~ned
problems with the following objectives:
a) -To increase English language skillq of Indochinese on three
levels.
b) -To equip Indochinese refugees with Engll~h Rktlls necessary
to find employment in the U.S.
c) -To enable the refugee to plan a cnreer that would remove
him/her from Welfare dependency.
d) -Seek placement in stable emplovment for 70 refugees ...
e) -To prevent social maladjustment.
f) -To increase the ability of Indochlne~e refugees to interact
more effectively with their new envt.ronment.
g) -To develop and maintain native ethni.c pride and identity.
h) -To facilitate assistance from other servtce agencies.
i) -To remove 20 refugees from Welfare dependency .

�-9-
METHODS
Once the continuation of the Project is approved, the present staffs' positions will be expanded to full - time. The Project Director will recruit the additional staff/consultants as
soon as possible thereafter (we have ·several cOl'll1littments for
the time period of this grant). All service components will
begin the first week.
ESL:
For the remaining three months in the Project, there will
be two classes of English conducted at the International Institute of Lowell each day for two hours each class. The ESL Instructor/Guidance Counselor will test all students within the
first week of registration with the assistance of the bilingual
staff. Students will then be placed in either Survival ESL or
Pre-vocational ESL, according to their skill level.
There will be forty students in each class which will begin October 5th and end December 25th . The ESL instructor will
conduct these classes with the assistance of the bilingual staff
for a total of 20 hours a week. The curriculum for Pre-Vocational
English will emphasize improvement in skills regarding employability. The curriculum for the Survival ESL will stress conversation
skills that will impact on the refugees' abilities to integrate
themselves into the American way of life. (See Appendix V.)
Employment:
Each student will be interviewed on a monthlj basis by the
Guidance Counselor to evaluate the student's vocational interests, experiences, and aptitude . The counselor will work with
the student to develop an individualized plan to achieve the
student's employment goals. Based on data collected from the
Guidance Counselor, the Job Developer will begin to meet with
prospective employers in order to identify and develop potential worksites. The Job Developer will analyze the labor market and seek job opportunities for the refugee students. She
will then review openings with her staff and prospective applicants will be screened by her with the assistance of the bilingual staff.
The Job Developer will then arrange an interview between
the employer and the prospective applicant. Bilingual staff
will assist the applicant in the interview. The Job Developer
will then contact the employer, to inquire if the student was
awarded the position. If so, the Job Developer and bilingual
staff will act as a resource to the em~loyer to insure successful integration of the student in hislber new job. The Job
Developer will follow-up one month after employment begins.

Social Support
Serv~ces:
r
.
Since there are currently no monies available until January
l, 1982, the l.S.H.P. will maintain its lnf,ormation and Referral
service to the greater Lowell c0DD1unity, until at which time it
is hoped there will be funds available for Case Management services. The Project Director will provide t'his service with the
assistance of the staff.
Interpretation/Translation Services:
The Project Director will develop a list of available interpreters who will be contracted to deliver interpreter services. These interpreters will be assigned to assist refugees
in hospital/clinic visits and other appointments, on an emergency basis, where no alternatives can be found. The Project
Director will receive requests and refer interpreters during
oftice hours. Lists of interpreters will be distributed to
area hospitals and other key 24-hour services who will be authorized to request the interpreters services directly on an emergency basis.
The interpreter would have a voucher signed by the agency
receiving , the service and submit the voucher t~·the Project for
reimbursement. This service would be available to all area refugees and service providers . Emergency medical needs would be
the first priority for the service, followed by requests from
the Department of Social Services, Welfare, Health Clinics, etc..
The Project will provide approximately 1$ hours of interpretive
services weekly.

Dear Ms. Fidler:
This letter is to express my personal support of the Inda-Chinese
Project as outlined i n your abstract proposal ·accompanying your recent
letter.
The objectives and methods of your organization in assisting the
700 plus Inda-Chinese refugees within the City of Lowell are most worthy
and encouraging. The ser vices to be provided would most certainly
f
assist the Inda-Chinese refugees in obtaining and maintaining a decent ..'
standard of living for themselves and their children.
In closing, I commend · your organization for their relentless
effort to address the needs of the Inda-Chinese refugees in a caring,
professional manner. Therefore, I support their endeavor in trying
to secure additional funding and for their innovative direction .

Jo Whom It May Concern:
This is an unsoliciteJ letter uJ n~ cu11u11e11c.lcttion in support of the important work being
done by the lndoChinesc Seit-Itelµ 1-'roject in Lowell. My name is David Specht. and l
work as Minister to tt1t· Cu11u11unity Jl Christ Church United in Lowell.
During the past year, Lowell fldS, LI'.> you ctre 110 doubt aware, become the new home for
nearly a thousand lnJuLh i 11e~e re fu<Jl:l~ :-. . Un I ortund te ly, the 111djori ty of these refugees
were brought into our co111111unity IJy d sµo11sori11y dyency that wps, for the most part. illequipped to adequately resettle the111. Tiie result has been an ongoing pattern of crisis
situations which have demanded respo1bes from churches. Unmet needs in the areas of
medical attention, housing and food, fuel assistance, employment and conflict resol ution
·· have presented themselves 111ost reyuldtly to us (here dt Christ Church).
While we have been steadfast in uur· Je~1re to he ot help in situations such as these, ·.
more often than not, we lldve souyllt ass ·istdnce fro111 Jacqui Fidler and her staff at the
IndoChinese Self-He 1p Project. Here Wl! have co111e tu deµend upon the Project 1 s translation
services. sensitivity to cultural nuances, and solid relationships with conrnunity services.
In short. we have found t11e Project to be an extre111ely reliable and accessible resource
to which we can turn for expertise ctnd assistance 111 addressing refugee crises. The
essential' ·nature of their service is underscored by the fact that they are. in our .
experience, the only Lowel 1-area resource equipped to provice the community with these
case-management services.
··
··
In addition to this service, the lndoChinese ~elt-Helµ ProJect has taken the lead in
facilitating the organization dnd e111µowen11ent of the three IndoChinese ethnic communities through the supµort and resourcing of their gatherings and the nurturing of
their own indigenous let1J(~ rship. They hu. ve also been dctive and founding participants
of a co111111unity wide cudlition of churches, tlyencies ctnd individuals concerned with the
challenge of lndoChinese refugee resettlement in Greater Lowell (Greater Lowell IndoChinese
Services Stee ring Couunit tee).
For all ot these reaso11:;, l otier tilts letter as dll expression of my endorsement of the
Se1f-Help Project as it seeks fu11ui11g tl1<lt will allow it to continue and expand its
resource offering~ to lndoChinese in t~e Lowell area duri~~ the upcoming year. Please do
not hesitate to contact me for further feedback on the variety and quality of services
they offer to our new lndoChinese neiyhbors. We would be lost without their help.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
. During recent conversation with Ms. Jackie Fiddler, Director of the
Indochinese Self-Help Project, we learned that nwnbers of Indochinese
families in have been steadily growing in Lowell. Since the focus of
the project is to assist people in obtaining job training and empl01ment, we are in full support of its continuation.
·
.......
The Department of Social Services sees families regularly whose functioning is severely deteriorated. lack of a regular, sufficient income is a major contributing factor to many families in trouble. We
view the Self-Help Project as a means of preventing unemployment and
eventual family disruption of the Indochinese residents of U>well.
We look forward to a supportive, cooperative relationship with the
Indochinese Self-Help Project.
Sincerely,
~~~ft-~~

Deur Ms.

I would like to express my gratitudt for the services
you have µrovid~d me in the past few weeks. As you know
I have been involved in planning an inservice for the
Lowell Community Health Center clinic staff on the subject of meeting the health care needs of the Vietnamese ,
Cambodian and Laotian people; a growing population group
in Lowell. Your suggestions for possible speakers were
excellent, and I did eventually contract with one of these
·people to come and speak at the instrvice.
Also your w1llingness to share written materials that
you have on this subject was greatly appreciated. I have
been able, with your help, to establish a heal.thy file on
this subject for our staff's reference.
I am tage r to attend the Indochinese symposium next
Friday and am sure it will prove to be another fruitful
experience. The symposium comts at just the right time
and actually several· staff members of the clinic will be
attending bl!i:>ides myself.
Lastly I wanted Lo thank you for the translations
which you provided fo~ our clinic, the . infant feeding
guide. This will certainly be a great aid in improving
communic~tion with . this population group •
