�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 •

PROGRESS REPORT
FINAL
October 1, 1980 - December 31, 1981
Submitted by;
Jacqueline M. Fidler,
Project director
�INDOCHINESE REFUGEES FOUNDATION, INC.
Executive Summary
The Indochinese Refugees Foundation was awarded a small demonstration
grant by the Office of Refugees Resettlement for October 1, 1980 through
December 31, 1981. Enclosed is the fifth and final Progress Report of
the works of the Foundation under that grant. The original proposal was
for the Foundation to provide ESL and Employment Services to 30 refugees
and Support Services to 250 refugees. The Foundation was able to far
exceed those goals by taking a small Self-Help Project and working it into
a comprehensive Community Center by utilizing and organizing the many
invaluable resources within each ethnic group and by working cooperatively
with other service agencies to maximize the resources of all.
Within a few short months, the Project became the focal point of services
for refugees. By establishing an effective referral network, both the
refugees and the service agencies knew where to turn for advice, information
and assistance with their problems. By assuming this lead role as the
community agency for refugees, others were more willing to work cooperatively
in meeting the needs of the refugees.
Within the refugee community we were able to strengthen our own
organization and to provide assistance to the new ethnic specific MAA's
such as the Laos Community of Lowell, and the Cambodian Association of
Lowell. These associations took numerous referrals for interpreter requests
voluntarily. They cooperated with us in organizing monthly orientation
sessions where they were able to share important information. Through
these associations, we became a truly community based organization. Similarly,
we worked with other community groups to organize the Indochinese Refugees
Services Steering Committee, where agencies, church groups and other
providers have met for the past year to plan and coordinate services to
the community.
By working within the community in this manner, the Project had a
rippling impact that went far beyond our original goals. In addition to
coordinating our own local groups and agencies, we attempted to share the
benefits of the grant with agencies and mutual assistance associations from
all over New England. By sponsoring a Cross Cultural Symposium, two grantwriting workshops and by co-sponsoring the first annual New England MAA
Conference, we assisted in the training of over 800 MAA leaders, agency,
health and educational professionals.
In these ways, the Foundation sought maximum use of the funds granted to
us by ORR.
_,
During the last quarter, a financial audit and an independent evaluation
of the ISHP were conducted. Both showed clearly that the Foundation had
effectively and professionally utilized the federal grant to service refugees
in our area.
Finally, the Foundation participated in a highly competitive, open bid
RFP process to the Department of Social Services. Based on the credibility
established through the works of the Foundation during the past year and the
merits of the proposed Project, the Foundation was awarded a contract of $83,000.
The Foundation was the only agency awarded funding in the Lowell area to service
refugees.

Outreach
One of the greatest strengths of this Project has been the ability of
this organization to reach out to its community.
As an MAA, the Foundation
maintains a direct line of communication with the Southeast Asian Community
which is often inaccessible to other agencies.
During the past quarter, we
continued to establish extensive person to person contact with the refugee
community and to send announcements, calendars, and newsletters.
I-a has examples of this material.
Appendix
We are working in the direction of some-
day transforming the Self Help Project into a multiservice center where
refugees would feel at ease to drop in and share with one another their
personal happiness and their individual problems, from religious worship to
community entertainment.
Information and Referral
During the last quarter, we successfully referred 369 refugees to
alternative services.

such topics as:

Students were tested on a regular basis to identify problems and progress.
Each student did achieve progress during the three months and each received
a certificate of completion on December 22, 1981.

The greatest difficulty to overcome was the students' resistance to
practice conversation.
However, students progressed quickly in conversation-
al abilities and comprehension, more slowly in writing abilities.
We
attribute this progress to the use of bilingual staff and to the curriculum
designed by the ESL Coordinator.
The bilinguals were not only able to provide
much needed interpretation, but also to inspire confidence in the students
to practice their new learned English.
They accomplished this by effecting
a community-like atmosphere at the Project.
English classes did not
begin and end at scheduled times; but often went much longer, giving students
longer periods of practice.
The curriculum offered students ample opportunity
to learn subjects directly related to their lives, which provoked them to
study intensely.
�SECTION IV
EMPLOYMENT SERVICES

Employment
In the previous quarter, we placed a total of 41 students in jobs and
8 students into skill training programs, bringing the success rate to
78% of the 70 students who were accepted into our program.
Since that time,
we placed an additional 19 students into jobs and 12 more into skill training,
bringing our total for the year to 60 job placements and 20 skill training
placements.
This more than triples our original goal of 30 placements.
(Table I found in the previous section shows these statistics.)
The success of this component of the program depended on a number of
methods used by the Project staff, both to introduce American employers to
Southeast Asians and vice versa.

Table II on the following page summarizes the results
In addition to serving as an assessment, these contacts
gave us the opportunity to establish relationships with prospective employers.
In addition, Job Counseling was offered to refugees both on an individual
and on a group basis.
Job Clinics were held in September which focused on
job hunting, resume writing, interviewing, etc.
The staff formed a team approach for Employment Services.
Each client
and staff person had a responsibility in securing successful placements.
The
Job Developer cultivated and maintained communication with prospective
employers in order to develop jobs.
Together with the ESL Coordinator, and
bilingual staff, job-ready clients were referred within 24 hours to prospective
employers to fill openings.
As a result of this strategy refugees participated
in 106 job interviews.
These interviews were immediately followed by a telephone conversation to
the employer to answer any questions and to reinforce the qualifications of the
�5
client and to insure that the staff would remain involved until both the employee
and employer were satisfied.
This process seemed to insure success and to
eliminate problems before they interfered with the placement.

As can be seen, the jobs, for the most part, are in larger firms, offering
more comprehensive and secure benefits to our clients.
These placements will
help to prevent a revolving return of clients to our program and therefore
have a long term effect on the community.
�SECTION V
ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
�6.
Organizational Development
On October 31, 1981, the IRF co-sponsored the first annual Regional
MAA Conference geared at developing the technical expertise of MAA's, and
a network of information and support between organizations.
The day
featured speakers such as Diana Bui of the Indochinese Refugee Action Center,
Washington, D.C. and Mr. Pho Ba Long, co-director of the Orientation Research Center, Center for Applied Linguistics, Washington, D.C.
Each
offered invaluable insights into the present and potential role of MAA's in
the resettlement and cultural development of Southeast Asians in the United
States.
The afternoon featured ethnic discussions, facilitated by cross-cultural
experts.
These discussions were conducted in Lao, Vietnamese, and Cambodian.
From these discussions came a summary, list of problems and resolutions
which were presented to attending state coordinators.
These resolutions can be summarized into the following areas:
1.
Comprehensive technical assistance programs to increase the capacity
of our refugee self-help groups.
*
Appeal for cooperation from both the public and private sectors.
*
Appeal for support to national and local training and technical
programs to be provided by professional organizations.
2.
Funding to enable our self-help groups to provide quality services to
incoming refugees and to respond to the unique needs of specific
refugee populations.
3.
Community Centers that can initially provide supportive social and
cultural services, later moving on towards the following long-term
�7
goals:
*
Cultural preservation
*
*
Advocacy within both the public and private sectors
Consolidation and economic development of the ethnic community
so as to become a positive force in American society.
There were over 100 participants in this day-long event.
From the
evaluations we received, it seemed that most leaders gained a lot from the
information shared and are anxious to effect more cooperative relationships.
The impact of this conference continues to be felt as ¥.A.A's work with their
newly formed contacts and newly acquired information.
Since State Coordinators
from the three New England states attended, they also became more aware of the
growing need to integrate MAA's into refugee resettlement.
All of the
papers, resolutions, and agenda, distributed at the conference can be found
in Appendix V.
This grant had a tremendous impact overall, not only on our
mutual assistance association; but also on those in our region.
The allowance
for training and consultants in our grant gave our board and staff an
opportunity to grow and develop expertise and to become a credible and effective
provider of services to refugees.
During the year we were able to sponsor a cross-cultural Symposium,
Two grant-writing workshops and an MAA conference.
The total served by these
training conferences was well over 700 leaders, representatives, and service
providers, in addition to the IRF Board and staff.
This will continue to
have a rippling effect and we hope that we can continue to serve the community
in this manner, because as an MAA we are able to bring a unique approach to
to cross-cultural orientation.

to drop out bfcause no e v e n i ng cla s ses were 9ffered.
3.
A useful English-langu a ge curricu.lum for Indochinese
••
refugees was developed.
4.
The test data, though by n o me an s d efi n i t i ve, offer evidence that participant s ' English language skills did improve.
5.
The project staff effect i vely prepared and guided
in securing employment.
6.
The project s~aff initfated procedures (e.g., a steering
committee for agencie; prov i dini services to Indo~hin~se,
a multil~ngual newsletter, ethnlc meetings) for improving
se~vice delivery to Indoch i nese refugees and, mor~ imp-0rtantly, for p~omoting self - help among members of the Indochine~e community.

�SECTION VI
LOCAL MAA DEVELOPMENT

Local
~i.AA
Development
During the past year the IRF worked intensely to effect the formation
of ethnic-specific self-help groups.
The IRF has worked assisting these
groups to provide services to their own people and providing them with
technical assistance in developing their organizations.
By October, the Lao Community and Cambodian Associations of Lowell
had entered a proposal with the IRF to provide Support Services to their
own communities.
The IRF was awarded a contract and has negotiated sub-
contracts with these two groups to provide Outreach, Orientation, and
Interpreter Services.
This sub-contract is a milestone in the development of MAA involvement
in the provision of services to refugees.
It has a tremendous rippling
effect as it draws largely on the human resources within each community
and little on government dollars.
The IRF has worked with each group to
develop a realistic and comprehensive approach to assisting refugees.
Each community has faced the difficulties of any new organization with
determination to solve their problems and differences in order to meet
the long term goal of mutual assistance.
The IRF was able to effect this
cooperative effort by being consistent with community leaders about our
goals, and objectives and the methods we use to achieve them.
For example,
we not only spoke of shared responsibility, we included them in proposal
planning, negotiations, and finally, in sharing the funding.
As an MAA the IRF has always worked toward this goal and is very pleased
in finally achieving it.
There is much work to be done, but this first
grant has allowed us to make tremendous gains toward the development of true
mutual assistance.
�SECTION VII
COMMUNITY RESOURCES
�9
Community Resources
The Indochinese Self Help Project could not have been as successful
without the tremendous support it received from a wide variety of community
agencies and groups.
First, the International Institute of Lowell has
opened its doors to our organization and to refugees.
They have begun
to provide interpreter services, allowed the use of the building on weekends
for ethnic meetings and assisted over 100 refugees in applying for their
permanent resident status.
Church groups have also taken a very active role by providing volunteers,
donations, and various other forms of support to our Project.
They choose
to support our program because of the IRF's goal of self support which is
consistent with their own.
Their contributions have had an invaluable effect
on the refugee community by bringing hope and compassion.
St. Patrick's Church has not only brought a seemingly endless supply of
warm clothing, but has also begun to distribute much needed furniture and other
items.
Christ Church has donated money, volunteered as case workers and is
sponsoring a fund raising event on our behalf next month.
Church sponsored a Christmas Party for over 100 people.
Pelham Congregational
See Appendix for a
news clipping regarding the event.
Other formal arrangements were made with CETA to accept students into
training programs and to provide technical assistance to our staff.
Mr.
Bruce Akashian has sat on our Advisory Council for the duration of the
Project and has given us unlimited advice.
See Appendix VII for the letter
of cooperation that was sent with our proposal.
We have established a very supportive relationship with the City Manager's
�10
Office by working cooperatively in their efforts to integrate refugees into
this community.
Additionally, Patricia Talty, Affirmative Action Officer for
the City, has sat on our Advisory Council for the past year and has facilitated
a number of Orientation Seminars and has also offered advice on job opportunities
for refugees.
We have also been attempting to establish cooperative services
with the hospitals and clinics in the area with limited success.
We are very fortunate to have received the support and encouragement of
these various groups both formally and informally.
Though many of these
representatives were overwhelmed by the tremendous influx of refugees into
the city and consequently into their services, they continue to receive these
new clients with compassion and to put forth extraordinary effort to assist
them.
Appendix VII contains a complete composite of the letters of support we
have received during the past year.
�SECTION VIII
FINANCIAL REPORT
�11
Financial Report
As was mentioned, the IRF submitted a proposal to the Department of
Social Services for $140,000.
We were awarded a contract for $83,000 to
provide ESL, Employment Services, and Support Services.
The Executive
Summary found on page i gives a brief abstract of the current Project.
The unique component of this contract, mentioned previously, in Section
VI is the MAA sub contract for Support Services.
We are very pleased to
offer this same opportunity to provide Support Services that was offered
to us through the Office of Refugee Resettlement.
A financial audit was conducted by an accountant and it was found that
all the financial records balance and are in correct order.
this to be true is included in this financial report.
reports are enclosed also.
A letter certifying
Our financial status
All of the money excepting the closeout costs
of the Board were obligated by December 31, 1981.
is _ attached as well as a final revised budget.
A breakdown of those costs
The only outstanding obligation
of the grant is to print the final report and to distribute the findings.

'IO WHCM IT MAY O)NCERN:
This is a letter of supp:>rt f or the Indochinese Refugees Fourrlation's
prop:>sal for funding f or the ccming year.
I fully supp:>rt the w::irk of this agency ir1 areas of ESL , job
counseling, and suppcrt services. The Greater Lowell area is highly
.impactErl with a refuge population that is nearing 1 ,000. The high
rates of welfare depend.ency and lack of •services have put a .critical
drain on this City' s resources.
The Indochinese ProjeC't addresses the needs of ~is City for' a
corrmunity-basErl agency that ccx::>rdinates services f or ' refugees. Careful
review of their past perfonnance illustrates that they have a crErlible
and worthwhile progr am. Their prop:>sal for $,140,000 is both costef fective and crucial t o the successful integration of · th refugee
canmnity into low 11 , and I therefor e lend. it my f ull supp:>rt .

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCmN:
During recent conversation with *>. Jackie Fiddler, Director of the
Indochinese Self-Help Project, we learned that numbers of Indochinese
families in have been steadily growing in Lowell. Since the feeus of
the project is to assiat people in obta,ining job ,t raining and employment, we are i n f ull suppor t of its 9cmtin114tion.
The Department of Social Services sees families regularly whose tunotioning i s severely deteriorated. lack of a regular,. sufficient income is a major contributing factor to many families in trouble. .We
view t he Self ~elp Project as a means of preventing unemployinent and
eventual family disruption of the Indochinese residents of ~.
..
.
.
We look forward to a supportive, cooperative relationship with the '
Indochinese Self-Help Project..
