Year of The Tiger: Hopes and Challenges
Year of the Tiger, according
to Cambodian astrology, is the
year of dramatic and often dangerous change. For some, there
will be success and great adventure. For others, this year
may mean disaster and
calamity. Just within our community so far, we are experiencing both sides of the spectrum .
For starters, death this year
has plagued our community. A
recent shooting of an innocent
13 year-old boy, Khedy Leang,
was a shocking reminder that
there's no safe place in the
world. Violence follows us
wherever we may be. The
shadow of the Khmer Rouge
still haunts us . One of our
staff's relative was shot and
killed along with two daughters
in their Seattle apartment. The
man who killed them shot himself. He was considered to be
the woman ' s old friend. The
daughters were in their teens.
A month earlier, a man in Lowell hung himself. He never
shared his problems with anybody. He suffered alone and
when too many things were left
unresolved, he decided to take
his own life. Silence was his
way to death. Then, there was
the death of Pol Pot. He was
on the front page of the Lowell
Sun. Many of us thought that
it was one of those political
jokes. But it was true. This
leaves us with the question,
"How come he got off so
easy?" Those of us who went
through those horrible five
years will never know the
whole truth. We were hoping
for a sense of closure and that
he would be brought to the
international tribunal court and
be questioned until everyone
involved in the murdering of
more than two million Cambodians were punished. Now,
that will never happened. His
death leaves some ofus feeling
incomplete and in disrepair.
Many of our relatives, parents
and siblings were starved or
murdered without proper
burial. They were left scattered all over the fields . Their
skulls and bones were strewn
along banks of rivers and
swamps. Some were shoved
into mountain holes and
crevices to rot. For over forty
years, Cambodia was at war.
As Cambodian Americans,
we live with these memories
always in our minds. However, we plan to go on with
where we are now and try to
create permanent improvement in the lives of all people
in the city of Lowell. We
must look at the past in order
to shape our future, our community and ourselves. There
are many hopes and challenges. One of those hopes is
to make Lowell a place to root
ourselves and to establish our
importance to the city's whole
economic, social and political
development. Part of our success is the Courie,,-----------•

local
nongovernmental organizations
(NGOs). He also worked for
the American Embassy on a
variety of US AID projects.
Most of his work experience
has been to help train and build
the capacity of local NGOs to
implement and fundraise for
their proposed social, educational and community develop-
ment programs. One such organization is the Cambodian
Volunteers for Community
Development (CVCD). This
organization works with street
children and mobilizes thousands of young people around
free of charge English classes
to do city and neighborhood
clean-up, tree planting, HIV/
AIDS prevention outreach and

human rights education. Tooch
worked with this organization
to provide technical assistance
and needed funding for their
programs.

Southeast Asian Water Festival, August 22, 1998

festivities .

honor spirits in
Committee is currently working dilinature
gently to make this
year' s festival even
better than the first
one. If you want to
get involved, call
Chath pierSath at the CMAA
or Rassany Khakeo at the Center for Family, Work and
Community. The Committee
welcomes your support and
enthusiasm as well as your
knowledge and expertise. We
want your contribution to this
great annual event.
The first festival received a
very large tum-out, which was
more than we expected. People came from as far as France
to see it and be with family and
friends . Others came from
Washington D.C., Pennsylvania and New York. This year,
with your involvement and
support, we expect even a
greater number of out of state
visitors. This is a wonderful
way to bring people into our
Lowell hub.
Many people who attended
the festival last year really
liked it. They praised the
event as a way of bringing
people together to celebrate
the environment, each other
and cultures. It was the first
time that Southeast Asians had
ever done anything together on
that grand scale. We can certainly do it again and again.
For last year's festival, we
had to borrow boats from the
Chinese community. Now, we
have two boats of our own
shipped from Cambodia, along
with agricultural tools, handmade baskets, musical instruments and a variety of fishing
nets and fish traps. They will
be a part of this year' s festival
as display items.
The two boats can hold sixteen people: one cheerleader in
the front, one drummer in the
back, and fourteen rowers in
the middle. The boats were
especially painted with the allseeing eye by builders from a
temple in Siem Reap. They
were named last October by
Buddhist monks from the
Trairatanaram Temple. One
was named Maha Vichey. The
other has been named Bopha
Meanrith, the all-powerful sheboat of spring's blossom. She
will be competing with the all
powerful he-Maha Vichey.
Those who are interested in
forming a team and participating in the race should attend
regular water festival committee meetings and choose between these powerful boats to
make them champion of this
year. Last year, the trophy
went to a Laotian team. One of
the Cambodian teams received
second place.
Women teams are encouraged. If you get a few women
teams, then there can be
women's competition and a
separate trophy will be given to
whoever wins.
Boat teams can come and
three years.
Non-governmental organization was only a recent phenomena in Cambodia when
Tooch started working for
PACT. After the Khmer
Rouge, during communism,
people were not allowed to
organize and assemble to make
changes in their society.
Today, one of the most
effective ways to achieve
changes in Cambodia is via local NGOs and grassroots community development efforts.
Tooch hopes, after he finishes
college here, to go back and
continue his work with local
NGOs, helping to strengthen
them and their capacity to deal
with larger societal issues such

that Cambodian government
was not able to do after the
1993 democratic elections.
There was a growing number
ofNGOs in Cambodia after the
Paris Peace Accord was signed
in 1992. These NGOs were
vital to the many social, economic and political changes

Through the Young, Our Culture Survives
They bend
and stretch their
Americanized
hands and feet
to chant-like
music instead
of rock ' n roll.
As celestial Apsara dancers,
they bless the Cambodian New
Year, open religious ceremonies and cultural festivals.
They are the CMAA's children
from the Cambodian community of Lowell. Every special
holiday such as the Cambodian
New Year, these children perform various Khmer cultural
dances. Dressed in their bright
and colorful customs they
demonstrate the beauty of their
cultural heritage. These amazing children keep the Cambodian traditions alive while they
are very integrated into the
American mainstream culture.
During rehearsal time at
CMAA, we see them wearing
bell bottom jeans and T-shirts
like regular American kids .
When they perform their folk
or classical dances, they are
transformed back to being
Khmer. This is how Cambodian adults help their children
establish a sense of Khmer
identity in America. Through
various art forms , the children
learn to mirror and reflect
Khmer gentle nature and kind
attributes.
Cambodian New Year is one
of the most important celebrations in Cambodian culture.
The children always have a lot
of dances to prepare for. They
often work very hard after
school and on weekends to
rehearse these dances. Their
dance teacher, Rany Him, was
a former staff member of
CMAA, who continues to pass
on these dances she learned
while living in the refugee
camp in Thailand. She takes
time from her own children
and devotes it to teaching these
dances to keep Khmer culture
alive. Her efforts are greatly
valued .
Cultural activity like this
keeps our children safe and off
the street away from the violence of gangs. It helps our
children build self-esteem and
bridges between old and new
cultures. For us, these dances
are intricately woven into our
hearts and souls. They are our
cultural icons, what we have to
show others about ourselves.
Outside Cambodia, these
dances provide our only link
for our children to see themselves as Khmer and not be
ashamed of it.
It is through our children
that our culture survives. The
CMAA owes it to community
leaders like Mr. Am Chom
Pond and Rany Him, who care
enough about Cambodian culture to pass on what they know
to our children. While Rany
teaches dance, Am teaches
Khmer music. He has been
able to gather several Cambodian master musicians in the
city of Lowell to come and
work with gang and at-risk
youth. They provide opportunities for our children to learn,
through dance and music,
about themselves and their
culture. Their efforts and contributions are greatly appreciated.
reading. His eyes get very red
from fatigue.
To Tooch, education is a
source of food for his brain as
well as a way out from being
dependent on others to being selfreliance and independent. When
he was young, after the Khmer
Rouge, he had to rely on others
for his survival even though the
adopted families he lived with
often beat and abused him.
Tooch struggled throughout
his life so he takes education
very seriously. For him, being
able to come and study in the
United States was an opportunity for a lifetime.

the poem on a large screen.
These two poets both work at
the Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association: Chath pierSath and Judith DickermanNelson. During the day, they
work to help the people of
Lowell, and when they can
they both write in an effort to

The following are two samples
of poems featured in The

very own staff poets of
CMAA. Judith Dickerman-
Nelson 's poem is titled Inside

poem is titled The Day It Rains.
Tooch, Cambodians can see
themselves in the spirit of their
own survival and be able to
become great agents of many
possibilities and change. With
hard work, determination, selfconfidence, self-respect and
self-love and esteem, every
Cambodian will be able to
achieve another millenium of
Angkorean pride that is of
peace, understanding, charms,
beauty and compassion hidden
behind the faces of those hiding

The Day It Rains
On the battleground of the
common streets,
inside the city walls where
bombs have dropped,
bodies of children were scattered about
while the rain battered upon
them
like a hail of bullets showered
from heaven
to mop away the anguish and
blood,
helping to calm the nerves of
those who are still alive,
to silence the crying children.
In a war, I am trembling
among the dead,
crouching and whimpering
prayers as a soul
without shelter, while the rain
keeps battering on,
putting rage in its proper
burial ground,
forgiving and forgiving.

My name is Simeon Zorokong.
I am originally from Sierra
Leone, in West Africa. I immigrated to the United States in
June, 1990, and currently reside in Lowell with my mother,
and my sister. My immediate
family, my three children,
Claudius,
Joseph
and
Sandenya live in Ithaca, upstate New York with their
mom, Cindi.
Before I came to the United
States, I worked as a community developer in my home
country. I assisted families
and individuals improve their
living conditions and to alleviate poverty. I provided services mostly to the rural communities. I taught health care,
literacy and income generation
activities from small businesses. I helped people acquire the necessary skills to
better their lives and their communities.
I attended Cornell University
in Ithaca, where I pursued a
B.S. degree in Rural Sociology
with a concentration in community and international development. Upon completion
at Cornell, I devoted myself to
working with low-income families and individuals. I am interested mostly in working with
young people, especially young
parents, to assist them in finding more meanings to their
lives. This is why I came to the
CMAA.
I came to Lowell in February
and was happy to find a job
with the CMAA working with
young parents as an assistant
teacher to Judith DickermanNelson.

The CMAA Board is a
strong, committed team, working to incorporate into a strate-

and grassroots community economic development. This includes looking at existing programs within the CMAA, their
strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and seeing how they all fit into the

Why do we have a Southeast Asian Water Festival? In
Southeast Asia, water plays a
very important role in the lives
of agrarian people. Once a
year, Cambodia and Laos hold
boat races to celebrate water
and life, as well as to honor
spirits in nature that give and
protect their chain of sustenance. In Asia, they say that
where there 's water, there 's
life and food in abundance to
reap and give thanks for.
The Water Festival in Cambodia and Laos is full of fun
and games. People don ' t just
boat race, but they dance, sing
and worship . In the capitol
city of Phnom Penh in Cambodia, people come from various
provinces to participate in the
boat racing event. Teams, often sponsored by temples, represent their home village or
town. Winners will not only
take a sum of money back
home, but a sense of pride and
fame. Many teams take winning very seriously. Prior to
the actual event, people often
practice at least two or three
months ahead. They prepare
the boat, bless and name it.
The spiritual energy of every
team member must be in sync
with that of the boat. They
must be unified in strength and
in mind as well as in soul.
Southeast Asian Water Festival is very ritualistic in nature. Boat teams are often
sponsored by a temple. The
head monk can take the role of
a trainer or a spiritual fi gurehead . The boat is usually
named to capture the essence
of the supernatural power.
They are given names based
on mythical monsters, witches
or sorcerers that tend to project
great power and strength. The
team members must embody
this power and strength and be
able to become as one when
they row in competition with
the others to win.
Last year's festival in Lowell had similar spiritual
themes, especially those which
relate to the environment and
the use of water. The Merri-
year's festival. There will be
many more things to see as
well as to have fun and learn.
Check out our environmental
booths. Come and taste our
food, listen to music, dance
and see the boat races. There
will be fishing demonstrations,
using the agricultural tools
shipped to us with the two
boats. There will be poetry
readings and a small stage theater for your entertainment.
August will be hot, and you
may just want to doze out in
the sun and feel the breeze on
the bank of the Merrimack
River. Don ' t miss it!
If you would like to get
involved in the planning process, please contact Chath and
Rassany. We need volunteers!!
Our next Water Festival
Committee meeting is on May
19, 1998 at 5:30 P.M. at the

mack River has been the artery
of various states throughout
New England. She is especially important to Lowell just
as the Mekong is important to
Southeast Asian countries. The
Merrimack River in the past
was used mainly as an industrial dump, whereas, the
Mekong in Southeast Asia was
used, even to this day, to transport things from one place to
another. The river provides a
great source of food, fish, and
fertile si Its to rice fields .
The. water festival weaves
aspects of nature, environment
and culture as well as beliefs
into the lives of Southeast
Asian people. It is a colorful
and traditional event for Cambodia and Laos. Dressed in
their best clothes, people huddle around the bank of the river
to watch boat teams competing
for the trophy, pride and money
for their village or their sponsored temple.
In Lowell , Massachusetts,
the celebration carried the
same flavor. It was festive and
fun . Some attendees felt very
nostalgic and thought the celebration was actually taki ng
place in their homeland.

Introducing Margaret Tham
My name is Margaret
Tham, a newly hired caseworker for the Monorom
Family Support Program at
CMAA. I was born in Takeo
Khmer Language Classes province, Cambodia. Like
Sak Seang
millions of other Cambodians, I lived and endured five
Citizenship Assistance years under the Khmer
Rouge regime. All fifteen
Montt:ha Oum
members ofmy family were
forced to abandon our home
and evacuate to the countryside. I was separated from
my family during those five
years . After it was all over I
was the only one left. The
rest of my family members
were either killed or died of
starvation. I was lucky to
survive and live through the
harsh life of refugee camps
for two years. Today, I am
living in Lowell, Massachusetts as an American
citizen. It was a miracle that
I am now alive as I look
back at those years. Right
now, I am focusing on building my own family and educating myself so I can live
freer of those torments.
I have lived in the United
States for seventeen years,
mostly on the West Coast in
Fresno, California. I received
my B.S. in Health Science
from CSU of Fresno in December of 1994. I could not
have done this without the
support from my husband.
Before coming to CMAA,
I have been working closely
with the Cambodian community in Fresno. I taught
Cambodian literature
and English. I published a
bi-lingual CambodianEnglish book in 1996. I am
also an author of two Cambodian folk tales, which have
not been published. I hope to
publish them one day. I was
also an executive director of

the Cambodian Association of Fresno.
I am glad to be at
CMAA, working
closely with my people
and helping the children we serve within
the Monorom Family
Support Program. I
am open to learning
and helping the Cambodian community in
Lowell become more
successful in mainstream American culture and at the same
time, help promote our
cultural heritage.

The 14th Dalai Lama: The Way of Compassion
The auspicious, rai ny
morning of May 9, 1998 His
Hol iness, the 14th Dalai Lama
of Tibet, spoke at Brandeis
University in Waltham . There
were over 7000 people who
attended. The Brande is stadium was packed with fami lies, fr iends and chi ldren. Everyone li stened with their
mouths agape as His Holiness
delivered His message of
peace and non-violence.
His smile was full of radiance and love. "Please, don't
expect any kind of wisdom,"
he said. " I have nothing to
offer to you," the audience
laughed. " I am j ust a human
being."
To many people, He may
be more than a human being.
He is a super human because
He is very wise with a very
big, super heart to offer the
world . Hi s solution to the
world 's pain, violence and
causes of suffering is very
simple, and it's the only thing
that may save us fro m ourselves and our own destruction. That solution is the
achievement of peace th ro ugh
compassion and non-violence.
His Holiness, the Dalai
Lama, who is recognized as
the leader of the Ti betan nation and people, fled T ibet
om Chinese aggression into ex·1e in 1959. He hasn ' t been able
o return home since. In the tradiion of Martin Luther King and
ahatma Gandhi , he has become
ne of the world 's great advoates of non-violence. For this,
e has won the admiration of the
orld and was awarded the Nobel
Tibetan people have not been
allowed to practice Buddh ism
freel y. Over 6,000 monasteries were desecrated and destroyed by the Communist
Chinese. Today, news of torture, rape and imprisonment
hit the world 's newspapers'
headlines. Nuns are often
raped and tortured at the hands
of Chinese so ldiers and many
monks who try to resist Chinese rules by continu ing to
practice their religion are con-
stantly being harassed and
many are taken into prison
and beaten.
In spite of these harsh and
inhuman rules and domination
by China, His Holiness the
Dalai Lama continues to advocate non-violence and compassion. At Brandeis University, His Holiness spoke of
patience and offering love toward the Chinese. Though
freedom for Tibet is urgent for
the survival of the Tibetan
culture and environment, His
Tibet is roughly the size of all
estem European countries comined. Like Cambodia, it is a
Buddhist country, with serene,
eautiful mountainous landscape.
ive of Asia's great rivers including the Indus, Mekong, and
rahmaputra start out from Tibet.
Tibet's high plains, forests and
ountains form a unique eco-
10
system on the planet and are
home to many rare wildlife,
including the snow leopard,
blue sheep, and Tibetan wild
ass. This ecosystem, and
many of its species, are now
endangered.
Tibet was a disti:1ct nation
and maintained its own government, religion, language,
laws and customs. Over the
centuries, some countries,
including China, Britain, and
Mongolia have sought to exert control over Tibet, with
periodic and partial success.
International legal scho lars
agree that, from 191 1 unti I
the Chinese invasion of 1949,
Tibet was a fully independent
state by modem standards.
Since then, Tibetans have
struggled to regain their freedom and keep their culture
intact.
The Tibetan culture, like
the cultures of Southeast
Asian countries like Thailand,
Cambodia and Laos, is centered around Buddhism.
Buddhism was embraced
by the Tibetan peop le in the
8th century AD . Since the n,
the life of the Tibetan people
has been to cultivate a good
heart and a calm, clear mind .
In the wake of China's repressive occupation, however, the
Holiness feels that only patience and compassion will rid
our world of further hatred and
war. He emphasized that all
beings, plants and animals as
well as man are interconnected
and interdependent on each
other. Therefore, we cannot
build peace alone. Those who
oppress and commit violence
against others are the ones who
we need to love and give peace
to the most.
�KIimer Lowell
A Prayer for the Millenium
I think of
my motherland,
like an
invocation
I'd give to
the world,
dreaming that by the year
2000,
peace will truly come to this
wounded nation of mass genocide and violence.
I think of her as a land of gardens, a rain forest of air and
life for all,
a country of forgiveness and
compassion.
She is understanding beyond
borders,
peacemaker of neighboring
conflicts and historical hatred
with the Vietnamese, the
Thais and themselves.
All her children will have a
childhood, a generation with
both parents alive and siblings
to play with.
All the land mines would have
been destroyed from where
her people farm to eat.
All land mines banned from
the world.
No child would be forced to
hold a gun for someone else's
political rights or economic
to pay her debt.
Every country like Cambodia,
big or small, rich or poor, will
meet under the same sun,
gather for the same prayer,
experience the same hope and
dream,
live for the same peace,
and love for the same reason.
In each ofus, we will find our
common suffering,
our hunger and thirst for life,
reed and power.
here would be playgrounds intead of war zones.
here would be more schools intead of brothels and nightclubs.
he children will sing songs of
·oy instead of terror.
hey will learn how to read love
·nstead of hate.
nd each child will have enough
o eat and clean water to drink.
ambodia is greening again,
prouting seeds of peace into
pring blossoms of love and joy.
II her tropical trees are left unut.
er abundant fruit is shared.
er vegetation's an earthly
aradise.
he is serene, beautiful and full of
harms like the statues carved on
er temple walls,
Illed with peace and hiding
miles.
er people are made strong and
ise from all the suffering
hey have endured.
he world will look upon her
ith admiration because she has
earned to overcome the war in
er blood, the rage in her eyes,
he darkness in her midst.
er people united to end all
gonies, all bloods to be spilled
n her land, to stop all killings of
our desire to be free from all
harms to our bodies, our spirits and our souls.
I think of Cambodia as one
nation loved;
one nation healed and freed
from war and hate.
Imagine earth with all nations
loved and treated when sick or
diseased.
Imagine families of people
willing to share,
to understand and learn from
each other.
11
lives and make all violations
of her innocence a crime
against humanity.
The bigger and more wealthy
countries will stop selling her
arms to kill her own people.
They will become good role
models of her socioeconomic, political and
spiritual development.
They will respect her as an
equal and love her as their
own sister.
My Cambodia will join a
band of other impoverished
nations to acquire needed
knowledge to solve her own
poverty,
to lessen all injustices,
to protect her rivers and forest from capital slaughtering,
and provide opportunities for
all her children so they won't
have to sell their bodies for
foreign currencies.
Those nations with skills to
share,
friendship to gain and love to
give will sincerely come to
help her,
give her encouragement and
provide her with some infrastructural support needed to
keep her people growing trees
instead of cutting them down
Imagine all the wisdom and the
experiences that we could
gather to make our planet one
home and ourselves one
people, united in our diversity.

�Security Deposits:
What Tenants Need to Know
in. Ifthe tenant sees other damage to the apartment that
is not on the list, he/she must give the landlord a signed
list of the damage not on the landlord's list within five
days. The landlord must either agree with that list in
writing, or tell the tenant in writing that he does not agree
with the tenant's list.
A security deposit must be put in the bank in an
account that is clearly for security deposits, and not for
any other money belonging to the landlord. Within one
month ofdepositing this money, the landlord must give
the tenant a receipt that gives the name ofthe bank where
the money was deposited, the date of the deposit, and
the account number for the account. If the landlord does
not do this, the tenant is entitled to the immediate return
of the security deposit.
When the tenant moves out, the landlord must
return the security deposit to the tenant. He is allowed
to keep from the security deposit any money needed to
pay for the following things:
1. Any rent owed by the tenant.
2. Any damage to the apartment not listed on the
When you rent an apartment or a house, the landlord will often ask you to pay a security deposit. Asecurity deposit is an amount of money that the landlord
holds until the end of your tenancy. It is intended to
make sure that the landlord has money from the tenant
to pay for any damage done to the apartment that has to
be fixed after the tenant moves out. There are many
laws concerning security deposits. These laws are designed to protect both the landlord and the tenant. If
you understand these rules, you will be protected against
a landlord who does not follow the laws.
The first rule has to do with the amount of the
security deposit. When you move into an apartment, the
landlord may ask you to pay the first month's rent, the
last month's rent, which cannot be more than the first
month's rent, a security deposit, which cannot be more
than the first month's rent, and the cost of installing a
lock and making keys. No other fees are allowed by
law. Example: you rent an apartment. The rent is $600
per month. When you move in, the landlord can ask for
$600 for the first month, $600 for the last month, $600
for a security deposit, and the actual cost of a lock and
key set. He cannot ask for $700 for a security deposit,
because that is more than the first month's rent. The last
month's rent, and the security deposit are the property
ofthe tenant. The landlord must give the tenant a receipt
for the last month's rent and the security deposit. The
receipt must say how much is last month's rent and how
much is security deposit, and must tell the tenant that he/
she is entitled to interest on this money at the rate of 5%
per year, or the interest rate paid by the bank where the
money is deposited, whichever is lower. Each year, the
landlord must pay the interest to the tenant, no later than
30 days after the anniversary ofthe date the tenant moved
(continued to pagelS)

If the landlord asks for a security deposit, he
must, within ten days after taking the deposit, give the
tenant a paper called a "statement of condition" for the
apartment. This is a list of any damage to the apartment
that was there when the tenant moved in. It is important
to read this paper carefully. The tenant can be asked to
pay from the security deposit for any damage to the apartment found when the tenant moves out, unless it is on
this list of damage that was there when the tenant moved

�ISSUE #8 JULY 1999
KHMER LOWELL QUARTERLY MAGAZINE
project initiated in Lowell. The intention is to investigate
viability and test possibilities which will culminate in long
term operation of a successful farming enterprise.
URBAN AQUACULTURE
INITIATIVE
The City of Lowell experienced a tremendous increase
in its foreign born population during the 1980s and early
1990s. According to the US 1990 Census statistics, the
number of Asian Pacific Americans living in the city increased by nearly 450%. Cambodians accounted for
over one-half of the Asian Pacific American population.
Other groups represented in the city including Vietnamese, Laotians, Chinese and Asian Indians.
GOALS
The goals of the project are as follows:
To create jobs;
To promote sustainable economic development;
To assist minorities to become entrepreneurs;
To utilize agrarian skills with current technologies and
techniques;
To promote public, private, and university partner
ships for economic development.
When immigrants and refugees came to America, they
brought with them different cultures, religions, languages,
skills, diets and needs. Most Southeast Asian Americans came from an agrarian background and are now
facing new challenges in the work place. They have to
learn new language, skills, and how to work in a new
environment.
FUNDING SOURCES
Funding for the project is funded by the US Department
of Agriculture (USDA). The USDA has approved
$5,000 for the initial start up. The CMAA and UMASS
are trying to get more funding from different sources.
In response to the changing needs of our communities,
the Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association (CMAA)
and the University of Massachusetts Lowell are exploring a new Urban AquaCulture Initiative. The Aqua Culture Initiative would utilize agrarian skills of the people
and would provide economic development opportunities. The project will raise tilapia fish in a closed recirculating culture tank in the basement of the CMAA building. The CMAA has already agreed to serve as a major
community partner through providing space to support
this initiative and facilitate community development processes.

Fish represent a significant food source for many Southeast Asians. The majority of available fish is imported
nationally and internationally to our local markets at a
high cost. This fish farming project is a demonstrative

�Statewide Conference Notes
ENGAGING YOUTH IN
CITIZENSHIP ACTIVITIES
Lowell is home to the second largest Cambodian community. Out of the 30,000 Cambodians, 1000 are citizens and 300-400 are registered voters.
I.OVERVIEW
A very small percentage of this number are youth. They
are crucial people of the future.
The Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association of
Greater Lowell, Inc. (CMAA) has been helping Cambodians and other people from different countries, who
are in need, make the transition into the American culture, economy, and environment. Initially, the agency
focused on providing recent refugees with English langµage training, cultural and social adjustment, housing,
and employment assistance. Today, the CMAA, serving Lowell, operates a full range of programs for education, economic development, employment, social services, health and environmental health, and cultural awareness. Among CMAA's program activities are:
II. ISSUES FACING OUR YOUTH
Jail time - non citizens - education lack ofparent involvement - lack of
communication/education - never renew
their green card.
Culture plays a major role in citizenship
Girls feel that they are not prioritized. They are pressured by their parents to be a certain way. (Expectations
of girls are to be housewives and they are not considered keep figuring in the society; double standard because of society and culture.
1. Komar Day Care Center
2. Young Parents Program
3. ESL/Adult Education Program
Youth don't understand the importance of being a
citizen
4. After-School Youth Program

5. Youth Services Program

7. Elderly Assistance & Outreach Services
8. Monorom Family Support Services
9. Citizenship Assistance Program
10. "Self-Sufficiency" Employment Services

11. Community Service Employment
12. Community & Economic Development
The CMAA not only serves the Cambodian population,
but also Laotian, Vietnamese, Latino, and other minority
groups in the Greater Lowell area. The CMAA is the
only social service agency within the Merrimack Valley.
It provides comprehensive assistance to low-income
Southeast Asians and other minority groups in an atmosphere where their languages and cultures are valued.
12
They assume they are citizens because they have
been here for many years.
Fear of authority (INS and Police goes hand in
hand)
�ISSUE #8 JULY 1999
KHMER LOWELL QUARTERLY MAGAZINE
• Many parents believe that:
1. Green card equals citizenship, so their children
also believe in the same.
2. Fragment in the community- no spirit
3. A Driver's License is important but citizenship
is not.
4. Citizenship is not basic survival need

What are we doing?
We have our classes. We are planning an on-going
monthly educational workshops starting in July, 1999.
• First workshop: We ask the elderly of the Citizenship Program who have obtained their citizenship to speak
to the youth and tell them stories. We want to show that
if the elderly can do it, so can the youth. The elderly tell
the youth about their struggles and challenges.
• Second workshop: We are using Interactive
Learning (Role-playing) to show the importance of
citizenship. We got the idea from Judge Wolfe
when he brought them into the JFK courtroom and
assigned them roles.
• Theater Project: The youth will be acting out
scene from history, etc.

Santa Ana, a sunset place that I can 't remember. The
fresh air that used to be.
A hospital, not much of a home on an avenue.
It's Winter time and I'm only three.

the tenant the amount due to the tenant within 30 days
after the tenant moves out, the landlord must return the
entire security deposit to the tenant. If the landlord did
not put the money in the bank, did not transfer the money
to the new landlord, or did not pay the tenant within 30
days, a judge can order the landlord to pay the tenant
three times the amount of the security deposit, and tell
the landlord that he must pay all of the tenant's court
costs and a reasonable fee for the tenant's lawyer.
Example: The tenant moved in and paid the landlord a
$600 security deposit. The landlord did not put the money
in the bank. Ifthe tenant takes the landlord to court to
get his deposit back, the judge will order the landlord to
pay three times the deposit, or $1,800, plus whatever
fees the tenant paid the court for his case, and a reasonable fee for the tenant's lawyer.
E~ample: You rent an apartment for $600 per month,
with a $600 security deposit. When you move out, you
owe $50 in rent because one month you only paid $550.
The landlord can keep $50 from your security deposit,
and must return only $550.
Example 2: The tenant moved in and paid the landlord
E~ample 2. You rent an apartment for $600 per month,
a $600 security deposit. The tenant moved out. The
landlord did not give the tenant back his deposit, or a list
of damages with the bills and receipts. Ifthe tenant takes
th~ landlord to court to get his deposit back, the judge
will order the landlord to pay three times the deposit, or
$1,800, plus whatever fees the tenant paid the court for
his case, and a reasonable fee for the tenant's lawyer.
with a $600 security deposit. When you move out, the
landlord must spend $200 to fix things that were broken
and were not on the list you got when you moved in.
~e landlord must give you $400 from your deposit, and
a hst ofthe things he fixed, with receipts and bills for the
$200 he spent to fix them.
Example 3. You rent an apartment for $600 per month
Example 3: The tenant moved in and paid the landlord
with a $600 security deposit. When you move out, th;
landlord must spend $200 to fix things that were broken, but some ofthem were on the list you got when you
moved in. Only $100 was for fixing things not on the list.
~e landlord must give you $500 from your deposit, and
a hst of the things he fixed, with the receipts and bills.
Ifthe landlord sells the building before the tenant
moves out, the security deposit has to be transferred to
the new landlord, and the new landlord must give the
tenant a letter within 45 days stating that he has the security deposit, the name of the bank and account number
for the new bank account, and the name, address and
business phone number of the new landlord. The old
landlord continues to be responsible for the security deposit until it is transferred to the new landlord.
What if the landlord does not follow the law? If
the landlo:d does not put the security deposit in the bank,
does not give the tenant the itemized list ofdamages within
30 days after the tenant moves out, asks the tenant to
sign a lease giving up any rights under this law, doesn't
transfer the deposit to the new landlord, or doesn't pay
a $600 security deposit. The tenant moved out. The
landlor~ gave the tenant back $200 from his deposit,
but no hst of damages with the bills and receipts. If the
tenant takes the landlord to court to get his deposit back,
the judge will order the landlord to pay three times the
part of the deposit the landlord kept, or $1,200, plus
whatever fees the tenant paid the court for his case, and
a reasonable fee for the tenant's lawyer.
As you can see, the rules about security deposits are complicated. If you are a landlord, you should
have a lawyer advise you on how to set up security deposit accounts and how to keep proper records. The
cost of this advice is probably a lot less than the cost of
being sued for even one mistake. If you are a tenant,
and you have questions about whether your landlord has
handled your security deposit properly, you should speak
to a lawyer. You may be entitled to the return of your
deposit, or more.

The Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association held
its annual New Year Celebration on April 9, 1999
at the beautiful historical building on 165 Jackson
St. The event was a great success and approximately 700-800 people attended the day event. In
the evening approximately 300 people attended the
Khemara Restaurant where we hosted dinner and

We at the CMAA are trying to pass on our culture and
traditions to the next generation. At this years celebration, many of our youth community members were involved in participating in the events. With that in mind we
created a fun filled day of activities.
The celebration began at 9:00 A.M when many city
officials, community members, board members and
CMAA staff gathered for the raising of the American
flag. This ceremony signified the official opening ofthe
CMAA building. Many city officials offered words of
kindness and generosity. Then at 9:30AM. guests were
greeted into the building and were showcased to the
many different displays that depicted the programs at
CMAA.
Thereafter, they were lead to the great hall where they
offered food to the monks. They accepted the blessing
of the New Year. Afterwards everyone was treated to a
feast of traditional Cambodian food, which I might add,
was very tasty!!!!!
Around noontime, the Chay Yam group paraded our
guests out onto the CMAA' sparking lot, where a stage
was set up for traditional dancing and a modern band.
Guests were entertained by the Friendship Dance Troupe
the performers were the CMAA' s youth group. Among
the dances were the "blessing dance" and the "coconut
dance". In between the traditional dances, the live band
entertained the crowd with "rom vong" and "ma re zone".
The day events ended with the Buddha Power and the
Next Generation cheering the audience in their rendition
of break dancing. A closing remark was given by the
Executive Director, Samkhann Khoeun. He invited everyone to join the evening celebrations at the restaurant.

Lowell Community Charter
School
In September 2000 many of our school children
will be able to choose a different and new unique school.
Parents will be able to give their children a different form
of education that is sensitive to their unique culture.
Lowell will be among many other cities that have recognized the importance of a charter school.
In January 1999, the founding coalition of the
LCCS was awarded a charter by the State of Massachusetts to design and operate a K-8 elementary school
in Lowell, Ma. Their goal is to focus on the academic
and social needs of immigrant students and families; and
dedicated to validating and incorporating the strengths
ofhome cultures and languages within the curriculum.
The idea of this school grew out of community
meetings which brought the Southeast Asian and Latino
community members together. On several occasions last
spring, they discussed a community solution to local concerns including inter-ethnic youth violence, the breakdown of the social fabric of the family networks and
mutual support, and difficulties in community-school relations.
Their mission is to prepare a diverse cross section of Lowell's children for success as students, citizens
and workers by providing them with an ambitious academic program in a supportive and challenging,
multicultural learning environment. Their highest priority
is the promotion of academic achievement for all students in each of the areas addresseed by the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks including: English, reading & language arts, and writing; mathematics, science,
character & ethics, health & fitness, world languages,
art, and music.
KHMER LOWELL QUARTERLY MAGAZINE
will be demonstrated in measurable terms to parents,
students and the community at large.
Their ultimate goal is to give Lowell youth an
opportunity to have a choice in which they can obtain a
better education.
WE THANK YOU
BOSTON FOUNDATION
for making
our Big Apple Circus trip possible.
The Boston Foundation kindly donated $3,200 to the
CMAA to purchase tickets for our clients to attend
the Big Apple Circus in Boston . We were able to buy
195 tickets for our clients. On three different dates
clients from the Young Parents Program, the ESL/
Adult Education Program, Monorom Program, Youth
Services Program, Citizenship Program, Elder Program and English for Employment Program went to
the Big Apple Circus. We took school buses from
The Lowell Community Charter School will place
special emphasis on the history of immigrants in America
and on the culture, language and experience ofthe Southeast Asian and Latino people who comprise a substantial portion of Lowell's present day population. The
School will actively promote discovery and creativity in
the learning process, and will integrate the use of technology into all aspects ofinstruction. There will be longer
school days and extended year. Student achievement

thoroughly enjoyed the performance. We were entertained by the Liaoning Acrobatic Troupe, canine
capers, equestrian display and a tight-wire dancer,
the amazing budgies, a stunning rendition of Bolero
and a clown that did bungie jumping. All in all it was
very entertaining .

�Attention Cambodian Community!!!
Did you know that family child care is a thriving home based business in the state of Massachusetts and across the country?
Family childcare providers are women that are licensed by the state to provide childcare services
for the families and children in the providers' own home.
Family child care is a professional service available to assist the efforts of working parents to
improve their families quality of life by providing quality child care services.
Each day, 10, 000 licensed family child care providers across the state ofMassachusetts provide
culturally sensitive and affordable childcare services to local families.
Licensed family child care provides many Cambodian women the opportunity to open their own
small business in their own home and earn as much as $12.00 per hour. There are also many
opportunities for professional and educational development.
Clarendon Family Day Care is a family day care agency with over 20 years experience working with
providers across the state: Licensed family child care providers working with Clarendon receive the support and
technical assistance from bilingual (Khmer/English) staff to help providers operate a successful small business.
The training and support will insure quality child care programs for the community. Clarendon invites all interested
Cambodian women, who would like to learn more about family childcare to attend a free training (Date to be
announced.)
The training program includes 6 weeks of 3 hours Saturday morning classes held at the CMAA
in Lowell. Classes will include the following:
Running a business, record keeping, taxes, and insurance
Health and safety in the day care home
Communication (working to meet the needs of children, parents, and providers)
Participating in the USDA Child Care Food Program
Developing an educational curriculum for children in family day care
Are you interested in becoming a licensed family childcare provider? The cities ofLowell and Lawrence need
many more Cambodian Providers to serve the needs of the community.
If you are interested in the training to become a Clarendon Provider please contact Angeline Lee(Cambodian
Outreach Worker) at 454-3026 Ext. 17. We are located at the CMAA building at 165 Jackson St. Lowell, MA
01852.

On July 8, 1999, a press conference was
held at the Cambodian Mutual Assistance
Association(CMAA) building. The conference was regarding the summer camp, known as " Future Stars Sport/
Leadership Camp." It will start its second year on Monday July 12, 1999.
At the press confrence, many main supporters
showed up to express their appreciation. Many of the
supporters of the Future Stars Sport Camp include the
following: Eileen Donahue, City ofLowell Mayor, Christine Cole, Police Community Liaison, Judge Wolf whose
son is Matt Wolf whom will be one of the main counselors of the camp. Also, the CMAA and the Future Stars
Camp was funded by the Red Auerbach Youth Foundation and the City of Lowell.
Many of the supporters believe the camp will be
a big hit and all are hoping that it will be a year round
event and not just a summer program in the future. The
camp also could take a great leap in the future, of making this first Southeast Asian camp into a camp of mixed
minorities. This would be a great idea, for it will bring
the community closer together. But right now at the
moment, many of us, especially the peer leaders who
have been counseling the camp are hoping that the limit
of 50 campers would increase because many want or
had signed over the limit already and it is pretty hard to
discharge them from the camp.
The camp will start on July 12, 1999. The hours
are from 10:00am-3:00pm. Thereisalimitof50campers. The camp will be going on for three weeks. During
the three weeks, the campers will be participating in many
sports including swimming, playing soccer, and many
other sports. They are not only building up their health
but also their leadership at the camp. There are special
guest speakers such as Michael Ortiz of the Middlesex
County Disrtict.

Also not to forget, there will be a lot of fun! Each
camper will also participate in the field trips to the Museum of Science, Canobie Lake, and the Aquarium.
Fun and Education are all in the package of this camp.
Thank you to all the supporters and many others that
helped make this camp possible.

�CMAA Participated in
the All-America Cities Competition!
On Saturday night June 24, 1999 at 9:30 PM Lowell
was named one of the ten All America Cities. The
CMAA was among the many delegates that attended
the competition in Philadelphia, PA. When the announcer said the words "Water Festival" we knew
that Lowell had won. Everyone hugged each other
and some people cried with joy and amazement that
we had actually won.
take notice. We are not a perfect city but we are an All
America City. Lowell is a city that is still working very
hard to improve the quality oflife for the community.
"Water is life and there is a lot to like about Lowell" and
as our theme says, "We 're in this boat together."
ByBoraYi
We were very happy to be a part of something that was
larger than ourselves. We were part of a proud community that represented ourselves with pride and dignity.
The judges saw for the very first time in the three years
that Lowell had been a finalist, that we were really a
united group and not merely a collective community.

They recognized our three main components in the competition; Community Policing, Joint Youth Commission
and the Southeast Asian Water Festival which the CMAA
is one of the major contributors in sponsoring the event.
The judges saw that the Southeast Asian Water Festival
brought together between twenty to thirty thousand community members to an event that lasted for six hours.

The CMAA is now making plans for improving itself
over the next five years. Our goal is to make the CMAA
a better and stronger part of the Lowell Cambodian
community. The first part of our plan is to make a list of
The following people were part of the delegation
that the CMAA sent: Board member, Rithy Uong
and his son Ravy Uong. CMAA Executive Director, Samk.hann Khoeun. Staff members, Sak Seang,

from the CMAA's youth program included, Sophath
Pheang, Sarath Rem, Kon Poev, Phea Kim, Sary
Roeuth, Roeun Hak, Heng Chhay and Nora Tang.
All of those who attended were grateful and thankful for the wonderful experience.
the problems which affect the Cambodian people living in the Lowell area and to explore the causes of
these problems. Once we have a list of the problems
of our community members, and the reasons for these
problems, we can begin to create programs to help
people suffering from these problems.
We are inviting all members of the community to
participate in this project. We want to hear from as
many people as possible. Do you see a problem in
the community? Do you have an opinion about why
It was such an honor to meet the other twenty-nine

common goal of serving and improving the community. In our eyes, they are winners because they
opened their hearts and shared their cities with us.

From the Editor
The rain is still dropping ...
Everytime I am exposed to the news, either through reading newspapers or watching television, they are
talking about the war in Europe, in Kosovo, or in Asia, in Timer, my eyes are full of drops ofrain...
Although the fighting has been there for a long time, the severe events occurring in the past few months in
these countries has cost many human lives. The war has left many sour memories for many people, especially
children. Worse than that, the war has made society slowly loose its morality?
The bitter memories produced by the war and the inhumane regime in our homeland, particularly the one in
Pol Pot's time, are still alive in my mind. Bad dreams display those cruel events that still follow me on ad off like a
ghost although those miserable things have been gone out of my life for two decades already.
Therefore, as an orphan and victim of a war fought in Southeast Asia, particularly in Cambodia, I tearfully
raised both hands to pray to the God to please remove all the outrages from all human beings and replace them
with peaceful minds toward each other.

Some people like winter,

of its dangers due to heavy

big storms, many people
have a lot of fun since
many celebrations such as
Christmas, New Year,

Letter from the President of the Board
Although Buddhism is
practiced in most countries
in S. E. Asia, such as
Cambodia, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Lao, etc.
they somehow celebrate
their own New Year in
different ways and times.
For instance, Thai and
Hmong celebrate their
New Year on January,
Chinese and Vietnamese
do it on February, and
Cambodian and Laotian
celebrate theirs on April.

�Khmer Lowell
Letter from the Executive Director
Dear Fellow Cambodians and friends!
Greetings from Lowell, Massachusetts. For the past several months, the Cambodian Mutual Assistance
Association (CMAA) has been so busy with a few new and exciting projects. One is the
"Massachusetts Self-Sufficiency" Project: employment service and youth service programs. This program is funded for $290,850 annually by the U.S . Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) via the Massachusetts Office for Refugees and Immigrants (MORI) is designed to assist Cambodian refugees and
immigrants whose benefits will be exhausted due to their time-clock running out with employment services. The program emphasizes on helping people to achieve their self-sufficiency. It consists of community outreach and education, recruitment and
intakes; job counseling, coaching, placement, support, and continuous English education.
Another is called the Community Service Employment Program, which provide subsidized employment to about 18 Cambodian
refugees and immigrants to work in any public service agencies and non-profit organizations. Grant money will pay for all salary, wages and benefits for up to 12 months. The federal Office of Refugee Resettlement funds this program in the amount of
$623,000.
Yet another program is the Asian Refugee and immigrant economic and educational opportunities, funded in the amount of
$100,000 annually by the Freeman Foundation based in New Year, New York. This program is designed to assist Cambodian
refugees and immigrants to acquire English language skills, advance in their workplaces, and ultimately increase their economic standard.
These three sources of funding make up more than half of last year annual budget, which was only $850,000. In additional, we
are able to receive a few additional funding from other agencies such as the Theodore Edson Parker Foundation, Gardiner
Howland Shaw Foundation, Massachusetts Cultural Council, and the City of Lowell's Enterprise Community.
CMAA is experiencing a tremendous of growth within the last few years. Not only that the CMAA has been successful in
fundraising for its various programs and services, but was also able to fundraise for its building development project as well.
Speaking on the building, CMAA was fortunate in receiving a building worth $1.2 million from Courier Corporation of North
Chelmsford, Massachusetts. The City of Lowell has been very supportive to this building development project. This is the single biggest donation from any donor.
Furthermore, the CMAA had initiated the Southeast Asian Water Festival, which brought thousand of people from near and far
to Lowell to celebrate this ancient traditional in the last weekend of August in the last two years. The water festival is the first
of its kind ever celebrated outside of Cambodia, Lao, Thailand and South Vietnam. Looking into its third year of success, the
Water Festival committee has been working so diligently to prepare this coming August celebration even a bigger one.
We all should be very proud of this phenomenon success. Shall it be new social services and programs for our community
members, or cultural initiative for our youth, or economic development for the our community, or even civic education for our
elders, the CMAA is committed to serve our Cambodian Americans and other linguistic minority groups more diligently.
I would like to express my utmost thanks to each and every staff, board members, and volunteers, for the all the hard work they
had been doing to make our organization the best it can be in order to serve our community residents. Most importantly, my
sincere thanks go to all the funders who had entrusted their trust and belief in us to carry out the programs and services. Equally
important is my ardent and profound admiration to our elected officials who support us all along during the most bumpy roads
and difficult time. Yet, among the many people who helped make my work possible are my greatest confidants-Sina Phou,
my wife and my children, Vathana and Kalyannee Khoeun. My parents and siblings have unquestionably supported me along
the way regardless of where they are physically.
Thank you so very much for all your help. Our task of serving the underserved Southeast Asian population is not P.Ossible
without you.
Sincerely yours,
,Sa.mldumn, ~ ~
Executive Director

Letter from the Editor
At first, I would like to give my thanks to the Khmer Lowell Magazine Committee for all of
their hard work in bringing this magazine back to the community. Secondly, on behalf of the committee, I would like to thank the Board of Directors at the Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association, especially the Public Relations Committee, and the Executive Director for providing their support and advice in making this magazine. Last but not least, please allow me to thank friends, Ms. Jacqueline Travers, Bartlett School Principal, Mr. Harry Kouloheras, Butler School Principal, Ms. Carol Sutton, Butler
School Parent Liaison, Ms. Elana Killela, Seton Asian Center Director in Lawrence, Ms. Huy Nguyen,
Saunder school teacher in Lawrence, and Mr. Ngoun Tea, and others for donating their work in this
publication and in supporting the education of our community and our children. The goal of Khmer
Lowell Magazine is to provide knowledge relating to religion, human life, and other important happenings inside and outside of the Lowell community, so that they may be used as tools to deal with life and
business as needed. Furthermore, we would like to strengthen the collaboration in the Lowell community for the use of humanity in the present time as well as in the future.
It has been nearly two decades since the Cambodian Community settled in Lowell. Due to the
cultural barrier, most of them have faced many obstacles. However, they are adjusting well to the opportunities provided to them and are raising their families in the midst of turmoil and uncertainty with no
complaints. One part of the Cambodian Community has already reached their dreams and happiness in
life, while others are still adjusting and working towards improving their situations, such as learning
English, getting their GED, going to college, and finding a job that they like.
The old year has changed to a new one and left us with many wise ideas while the New Year is
bringing many new opportunities and great ideas to the community. Therefore, due to the consciousness in loving and caring for our community, justice, freedom, and education of all of you, sir, madams,
and miss, the Khmer Lowell Magazine will be worthwhile, lively, and interesting. Furthermore, I
deeply hope that this magazine will bring happiness and help to further develop your roots in the New
England area.
I would like to say that it is my pleasure to be a part of this magazine. I am looking forward to
hearing your positive criticisms, so that together we can make this magazine very beneficial and useful
to our community.
At the end of this letter, and especially in the year of Rabbit, may all of you be always blessed
with the five blessings: age, wealth, health, strength, and wisdom.
Respectfully,
~

IMMIGRATIONLAW
YOU CAN BE DEPORTED FOR COMMITTING CRIMES!
Last year, the Immigration and Naturalization Service deported 56,011 people because they had been convicted of
crimes while in the United States. The
number of people deported for that reason has increased each year for the past
five years. Many people do not realize
that they can be removed from the
United States if they are convicted of
many types of crimes. This is true even
for people who have permanent resident ("green card") status.
What types of criminal convictions can
cause a non-citizen to be removed from
the United States? A conviction of any
violation of the drug laws, except for
possession of less than twenty eight
grams of marijuana for personal use is
grounds for deportation. A conviction
for illegal possession, carrying, purchasing, owning, using or sale of firearms makes one deportable. A new
ground for deportation added in 1996 is
conviction of a crime of domestic violence, which includes abusing family
members, stalking, or violating restraining orders, and includes abusing,
neglecting or abandoning a child.
If you have been in the United States
less than five years, you can be deported if you are convicted of a crime
of moral turpitude and receive a sentence of one year in jail or more. A
crime of moral turpitude is a crime
which shows that the person who committed it is a person of bad character.
Crimes involving stealing or lying are
almost always crimes of moral turpitude. Violent crimes which involve the
use of weapons or an intention to seriously hurt another person are usually
classified as crimes of moral turpitude.
Sex offenses are almost always considered crimes of moral turpitude. Traffic
offenses are generally not crimes of
moral turpitude. Whether you have
been in the United States for five years
or not, conviction of two or more
crimes of moral turpitude can get you
deported, even if you do not receive a
jail sentence. There is no time limit on
when the two convictions would count
for deportation.
Two convictions
thirty or forty years apart would count
the same as two convictions in the
same year.
However, if a non-citizen is charged
with more than one crime which occurred during the same incident, convictions on all the crimes which occurred during that incident would be
treated like one conviction. For example, if someone got into a fight with a
group of people and was charged with
separate charges for hitting three different people during the same fight,
those three charges would be treated as
if they were one conviction, because
they were part of one incident.
to return them to their native
country.
There are many crimes which are
listed in the immigration law as
aggravated felonies. The most
common ones are: crimes involving violence or the threat of violence, burglary or housebreaking ,
stealing or fraud for which one
receives a sentence of a year or
more, any crime involving the illegal sale or distribution of drugs,
offenses involving firearms, tax
evasion involving cheating the
government out of more than
$10,000.00 of taxes, failing to appear in court to answer serious
charges, lying under oath, or intimidating a witness in a criminal
case.
This article is only meant to give
you a general view of part of the
immigration laws of the United
States. If you have questions concerning how these laws might affect you or a family member, you
should speak to an attorney.
On the other hand, if someone breaks
into three houses on one day, the time
which he had in between the crimes to
think about what he was doing would
probably be enough to cause the three
crimes to be considered separate incidents.
The most serious crimes which can
lead to deportation are the crimes
which are called aggravated felonies .
Under immigration law, people who
are convicted of aggravated felonies
are treated differently from those who
commit less serious offenses. They are
not eligible for most forms of relief
from removal. An immigration judge
cannot cancel their removal because of
hardship, with hold their removal, or
grant them political asylum and refuse
a
"... conviction of two
or more crimes of
moral turpitude can
get you deported,
even ifyou do not
receive a jail
sentence."

l Cambodian New Year

Cambodian New Year is a traditional ceremony that originated in
Buddhism in ancient times. The
New Year is celebrated to achieve
the following 6 goals:
To maintain and preserve the
existence of our beautiful
tradition so it will last forever.
2. To strengthen solidarity and
brotherhood, as well as
friendship among our fellow
Cambodians.
3. To wish our nation and ourselves good luck and happiness.
4. To have fellow Cambodians
and ourselves stay awake for
every step of life.
5. To gratefully payback the
favor of our living or passed
away parents.
6. To support our religion
(Buddhism) which we believe is the best way to
achieve peace, security and
happiness for human beings
in this world.
1.
The date and time we celebrate
the New Year is not a fixed date.
It depends on the number of days
in the month of February. If February has 28 days, the celebration
begins on April 13 th . If February
ends on the 29 th , the celebration
has to start on April 14 th . The
time of such celebration is also
varied depending on the availability of each New Year Deva
(angel) predicted by an astrologer
in charge of making our New
Year calendar. The Deva for the
year depends on the day of the
week on which the New Year begins. The Deva will automatically
come down to earth on New
Years day to take care of human
beings for the whole year.
The reason that our ancestors
chose April 13 or 14, for our New
Year celebration is because it is
the dry season in Cambodia and
the crops have already been harvested by the farmers so they now
have free time to join in the celebration.
Generally our fellow farmers finish their harvesting business at the
beginning of March. The climate
then is mild, clear, and free of
fog. Right after their crops have
been harvested men and women,
young and old, clear and clean the
area around their homes and make
their own stands suitable to welcome their New Year Deva. At
that time, children gather together
to play whatever popular games
they wish. Buddhist monks are
then invited to present the
Dharma Citation and to preach to
the people to educate them.
Afterwards, people enjoy shows:
Lakhon, Ayai, movies, dancing
and comedy. Any celebration
done after the 13 th or 14th of April
is not called a New Year celebration.
9
When April 13 or 14 is coming,
people in all areas of Cambodia
usually get together and celebrate their New Year in their
own pagoda. Traditionally and
as rule, the New Year celebration has to be done by Cambodian people following a threestep process:
First: New Year calendar
(welcoming New Year Deva)
Second: Vanabat minute
(making sand hill)
Third: Promotion minute
(bathing Buddha's statue)
If the celebration does not contain the three principal processes above, there is no reason
for us to consider it as our traditional Cambodian New Year.
These processes have been set
by our intellectual ancestors and
should be maintained by all of
us, their descendants.
We
should not cut short any of the
processes. Otherwise we will
not be the bamboo shoots that
grow from the bamboo. The
celebration itself these days has
less meaning than it is traditionally supposed to have.
MAY CAMBODIAN NEW
YEAR BE HELD ON THE
DESIGNATED DATE AND
THE CORRECT J:>ROCESSES
FOLLOWED FOREVER.

The Rabbit Personality:
The Rabbit craves company and
needs to belong to an established
crowd. Safely within their social circle,
the Rabbits feel protected and secure;
outside it, they are reserved and quite
possibly withdrawn. However, even
within the groups, the Rabbit maintains
a certain independence and, though
hardly extrovert, can often become the
focus of attention by being visibly on
the edge of events. Thus, a gregarious
and sociable disposition does not prevent the Rabbit from remaining aloof.
The typical Rabbit will be submissive, even humble, in a constant effort
to avoid all confrontations. Happiest
with friends, if somewhat inclined to
gossip, this kind and benevolent lover
of conversation, reading and literary
pursuits may appear rather too meek but
can be remarkably brave when faced
with danger.
Traditionally associated with clearsightedness, the Rabbit is an excellent
judge of character, with an instinct for
recognizing sincerity in others and an
almost uncanny ability for sensing
falsehood.
In personal relationships, even the
most innocent deceptions will be identified almost at the moment they are perpetrated.
Another traditional belief accredits
the Rabbit with the recipe for the divine
elixir of life; and accordingly Rabbit
personalities are often gifted healers,
both of emotional and physical maladies.
And 1543 B.C.
transfer or authority.
In the sphere of politics, this is not a
year for dramatic change. Rather, it is a
period of increased awareness and concern for human rights, the underprivileged and the victims of unjust treatment. Internationally, much will be
achieved to help those in need.
As the possessor of the recipe for
the elixir of life, the Rabbit is credited
with knowledge of herbal remedies and
medicine. The Year of the Rabbit is seen
as a suitable period for expansion in the
field of pharmaceuticals or cosmetics,
and dealings to do with herbs, drugs, or
preparations of vegetable origin. Interest in alternative medicine continues to
expand.
Greater emphasis will be placed on
family life. There is good news for those ·
wishing to expand their families this
year. But for those whose involvement
in illicit liaisons should ponder the Rabbit's procreative prowess.
With regards to health, this should
prove to be a recuperative year. But beware of the dangers of becoming dependent on medication.
By Samkhann Khoeun
What to expect in the Year of Rabbit?
Generally, this is a year for diplomacy and persuasion. It is certainly not
the right moment for trying to barge
ahead, since this will only result in sterile and time-consuming confrontation.
On the other hand, it is an ideal time for
dealing with more agreeable nature, the
exchange of contracts, or the peaceful

its food 'can feed the world. Yet,
people still go hungry everyday.
Tliroughout the urban .. s ~· of
America, drugs and domestic violence turn the innocent into murderers. In addition, raw footage of Hollywood movies and video games fill
the minds of these children with heroes who destroy, bomb and shoot
people for revenge.
America's youth al"C".easily con.;vinced or swayed to fill the meaningless void with hate and rage. Without ·love and positive adult supervision to back and guide them against
all these evils, they will pick up a
gun, and when angered, shoot.
In a city of 100,000 people like
Lowell, when children die of violence, it is very disconcerting to people. The Cambodian communitybas
more than its share of violence. People are plagued with remorse and
sadness of nmltiple losses in addition
to the suffering and the poverty they
experience. It is here, in this iimnigrant city of mills and factories, ·that

New Year Festivities in Sierra Leone
The New Year celebration in
Sierra Leone is meant to bring
people together from all walks
of life.
It re-establishes bonds, eases
potential economic, social and
political conflicts between villages and settles former and
present disputes among people.
The celebration also enhances
love relationships and enables
people especially the youth to
form common ties. Religious
activities are also observed
during the festivities.
Sierra Leone is situated on the
West Coast of Africa. It is a
small country with a diverse
ethnic population of about four
million. Early British influence in Sierra Leone started in
1787.
By the early 1800's the country became a British colony.
During this time the English
established their social, economic and political order
among the people.
In 1961 Sierra Leone received
its independence from Britain.
Although Britain no longer
rules Sierra Leone, its social
legacy still remains with Sierra
Leoneans. Our traditional val-
religious ceremonies are performed by all designated religious leaders.
ues and the legacy of British
cultural practices continue to
go hand in hand.
During the months of November and December all the farmers in the country complete
their harvests of rice, coffee,
and cocoa beans. This is usually the time of plenty! Preparation for celebrating the new
year in February are then made
by the village elders (decision
makers ) to host the celebrations in a particular village that
could accommodate everyone.
Word is sent out to all villages
informing the people about the
time and place.
During the religious ritual
offerings are made to the
spirits of all dead ancestors,
the gods and the earth spirit.
The beings are believed to
protect the crops for a good
yield of harvest.
Sierra Leone
1
After the rituals have been
performed the paramount
chief makes an announcement by welcoming and urging everyone to have fun and
not war.
The event starts with the
sounding of trumpets, beating
of drums, rattling of trinklets,
anklets, and sounding of
bells. Various activities such
as wrestling, marriage ceremonies, fire dance, harvest
display, etc. take place during the New Year celebrations.
By Simeon Zorokong
On the day of the New Year
celebration everyone attending
brings food and locally produced wines to share. Each
village also produces its dancers, drummers, and singers.
Before the celebrations start,
K1nstanun V. Amlrzadov, D.M.D.

******************************
THE CITIZENSHIP ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (CAP)

•Assist in all aspect of INS Inquiry and Services
•Assist non-naturalized refugees to successfully complete the naturalized process.
•Information and Referral
•Citizenship Preparation Classes
•Transportation to INS interview
Each client is given clear information about the application process. Their questions
and concerns are answers before any commitments are made to the program N-400 Application is filled out with the clients
understanding every aspect of the naturalization process. Intake is properly conducted and finally for those clients needing assistance with passing the U.S. History and Government test, they are assigned to Citizenship Classes.
UPDATE!UPDATE!UPDATE!UPDATE!UPDATE!
As of January 15, 1999 the INS has raised the Naturalization fee from $95 (plus $25 for fingerprinting) to $225 (plus $25 for

Butler Middle School
Dear Parents,
As you are aware the MCAS, (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System), test results have been released.
These results are from the first MCAS test ever administered to our 4 th grade, 8th grade, and 10th grade students last May. The
MCAS test is a very difficult, comprehensive test based on our new "Curriculum Frameworks." The state curriculum frameworks were used by our School Department this past year, as a guide in helping us to develop our new citywide curriculum
guides. We are implementing our citywide curriculum guides for the first time during this school year. The MCAS test is designed to give each school a clear understanding of our school' s curriculum and instructional strengths as well as weaknesses.
The Butler School plans on using the MCAS test results as a tool for helping our teachers improve and strengthen student's education. All test results, pertinent data, and interpretive pamphlets have been distributed to our staff. We are forming
teacher committees to identify areas of concern and to develop a comprehensive plan for improvement. In May of 1998 the
staff of the B. F. Butler School were honored by the United States Department School for consistently improving our children's test scores over a three year period. I am confident the determined efforts of our teaching staff will address the areas of
our curriculum and instruction which the MCAS determined need improving. In time, thereby, improving. In time, thereby,
improving our students' MCAS performance. Your continued support is essential to help us achieve the educational goals we
have set for your child. If you wish t peruse the MCAS test administered to your child in the 4th or 8th grade you may find a
copy in the Butler School Parent Center or on the web at www.doe.mass.edu.
In closing, I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy, ,prosperous New Year.
Sincerely,

New Year, or Tet, celebrates the
return of Spring which usually
comes in late January or in the middle of February.
Tet is a very important holiday like
Thanksgiving or Christmas. Tet is
the time for the members of the
family get together. If a member of
the family has to work far from her
(his) family, she (he) should return
to home before New Year's Eve.
The family usually get together on

themselves, buying flowers, food,

Food and flowers are very important part of the celebration. People
usually put some kind of food and
fruit on the altar like glutinous rice
cakes, water .melons, mangoes, co-
conuts and papayas. Pink cherry
blossoms and yellow plum blossoms
are beautiful signs of spring.

Tet last three days, but the children
have ten days off. On the first day,
people usually don't get out of the
house. The family get together.
They wake up early to pay respect
and to wish their grandparents and
parents the best wishes in the New
Year. The grandparents will give
the children the red lucky envelopes
with money. On the second day,
people visit the relatives and the
neighbors. On the third day, the
children will visits their old teachers
and friends.
Family and children always stay up
late on New Year's Eve to set off
the fire crackers at midnight. They
believe the noise will blast out the

Dear patient:
I, Pol Rik, have had diabetes I had tot worse to the point that my blood sugar was very high, about 220-230 mg/dl. The diabetes I had got worse to the point that my leg was numb with tingling sensation all the time. I had tried several doctors, prescriptions, and methods ; however, nothing helped. I was so depressed. One day, I read in the newspaper about Dr. Long
Mai, so I called. After taking some Chinese medicine that Dr. Long Mai makes himself, now not only my blood sugar is back
to normal (82 mg/d.), but also no more numbness with tingling sensation in my leg. I have a feeling that Dr. Long Mai's
medicine has cured my diabetes.
I am very grateful to Dr. Long Mai, and highly recommend his medicine to all of you. Again, thank you Dr. Long Mai for
helping me.
Your cured patient

RE: Bill# 98-s 2778-"An Act Relating to Business and Professions-Oriental Medicine"
Bill # 98-s-2847-" An act Relating to Insurance-Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine"
Dear Chairman Irons and Committee Members:
I am writing to you to express my support for the proposed legislation currently before your committee relating to Acupuncture
and oriental Medicine. I, Susan Coulbourn, mother of a ten year old boy who was suffered from chronic asthma and cough for years. I
have try a lot of non-prescriptions and prescription drugs for my son. Nothing worked. After discussing to my family doctor and with
his support, my son start taking Dr. Long Van Mai ' s Chinese medicine. Dr. Mai not only cured the asthma but also strengthened my
son's immune system. Now my son is hardly getting a cold, even in the winter. I believe that this 5000 year old healing system should
be included into the main stream of medicine and that every one should have free access to it through their insurance coverage. Many
people consider this as a last resort when allopathic medicine have not been able to provide relief and the majority have improved significantly or was cured. I am sure you would be impressed by the hundreds of testimonials of persons benefited by acupuncture and Oriental
Medicine.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Best wishes.
Very truly yours,
Susan Coulboum

The Lowell Office of Cultural Alf
airs
Celebrates Ten Year Milestone
The Lowell Office of Cultural Affairs (LOCA) recently celebrated
its tenth anniversary and in so doing chose to honor ten individuals
and organizations for their contributions to cultural development in
and around Lowell. A public reception was held at the Lowell National Park Visitor's Center on
February 9th . The recipients selected come from different backgrounds but all have one characteristic in common - the desire and
drive to make the City of Lowell a
better place to work and live.
"The breadth and spectrum of the
individuals you see here today represents the enormity of contributions made over a ten year period,"
said Otto Erbar, LOCA's Executive Director. "Their vision and
efforts have had an enduring effect
on life in Lowell."
Recipients included: long time arts
patron Nancy Donahue, the City of
Lowell; Samkhann C. Khoeun, traditional artist and Executive Director of the Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association of Greater
Lowell, Inc. (CMAA); the Lowell
National Historical Park; Dr. Kay
George Roberts, UMass Lowell
music educator and conductor;
Rev. John Simson, rector of St.
Anne's Episcopal Church; Marie
Sweeney, LOCA founder and long
time president; Nancye Tuttle,
theater critic for The Sun; George
Behrakis, businessmanphilanthropist and co-owner of the
Lowell Lock Monsters; and the
late Sen. Paul Tsongas and his
wife, Nicola.
The awards ceremony was filled
with many personal anecdotes that
were quite touching. "You knew
this would be a LOCA love fest,"
said Erbar. We, at the CMAA,
were particularly proud to learn
that our Executive Director,
Samkhann C. Khoeun, was among
the honorees. Ruth Page, Director
of Angkor Dance Troupe, presented his award. She made refer-
"The CMAA
Executive Director,
Samkhann C.
Khoeun, was among
the Honorees."
ence to his recent four year anniversary serving the CMAA and
also to the organization's recent
move from Perry St. to the Courier
Citizen building of Jackson St.
"Samkhann's plans for the building
are nothing short of visionary and
include developing it into a world
class center." Samkhann, as founder of the Southeast Asian Water
Festival, spoke eloquently of looking at the Merrimack River and
finding a bond - "a source of
life" - significant to both east and
west. He made reference to his
love for the water, the Mekong
River in Cambodia and the irrigation system which was introduced
by the Angkor empire during the
9th through 14th centuries. It is fit22
ting then that a festival with boat
races, art and music was then
spearheaded by Khoeun.
Khoeun thanked the CMAA's
Board of Directors and staff for
their tireless efforts expended on
a daily basis in helping to move
the organization forward. He
also profusely thanked the City
of Lowell for their efforts in assisting the Cambodian people by
helping to make them feel comfortable in a new society completely different from the tropical
world from whence they came.
"You have treated us as neighbors, friends and colleagues,-"
said Khoeun. "I thank you."
Each recipient was awarded a
plaque and a heart-shaped box of
chocolates. The significance of
the heart relates to the unveiling
of LOCA's new logo and design - "Art is the heart of the
community." It features the image of Mona Lisa on a Queen of
Hearts playing card.
Congratulations from the CMAA
to all of you for your wonderful
contributions to our community!

Continued from page 10
When a young child dies of violence here, it is even more difficult for
the parents already mourning their earlier losses because they all had hope
that America would provide them with
the safe refuge from the violence they
had run from.
America, as many later discover, is
not the safe haven they had sought.
They cannot stand alone to resist violence or the hurt and pain that they experience in their lives. Without proper
physical and psychological nurturing,
they will run to fight evil on their own
terms even when it means hurting themselves. Instinctively, this is how the
world works.
Growing up in this country is not
easy for most Cambodian children.
Their gentle nature is divided and tom
between two different cultures and their
identity is fractured. They experience
racism in our society. Many live in
poverty, where they are shoved into a
one-room apartment with two or three
other brothers and sisters. At the age of
ten, a Cambodian child is expected to
care and become responsible for other
younger siblings. Parents are struggling to make ends meets by working
double shifts, late night shifts, and do-
"Oi.ildren, when physically or
emotionally broken and neglected
to their own demise, will seek out
gangs as a way of banning together for emotional support and
a sense of belonging.... "
ing what they can to support their children.
Some parents self-medicate
themselves against the pain by leaning
on gambling and alcohol. Like all communities in Massachusetts, some Cambodian families face family violence
and abuse in addition to other social
24
problems.
A healthy child requires good parenting, emotional nurturing and caring
as well as ongoing communication.
Not every family is capable of becoming whole and healthy, and it is critical
that we assist families in reaching their
potential. The level of education, culture, and how we are socialized to see
and interpret things around us determine who we are and what we become.
Our environment is critical in our development. It is not simple to place
blame on the victim or the perpetrator.
Everything is connected, just as we
value the idea behind the African proverb, "It takes a village to raise a child,"
which implies that all of us have the
responsibility toward every child in
addition to the children we raise.
The so-called 'bad child' is reflective of all of us. When a youngster
commits a murder or an improper act
of violence against his fellow beings,

The Feasibility Study Of the CMAA
The Cambodian Mutual
Assistance Association has just
undergone a monumental change
that effected the entire service of
the community. The CMAA completed its Feasibility Study that
examined the structural development of its current occupied building. The historic rehabilitation of
the Hamilton Countinghouse and
Storehouse is part of a comprehensive economic development
program with the goal of establishing a Cambodian Business and
Cultural Center in Lowell 's South
Economic Opportunity Area. Development of this largely vacant
structure of substantial size is an
important step for the refugee
community to anchor the Cambodian Business and Cultural Center.
Originally built as the
Hamilton Company Countinghouse and Storehouse in the late
1860' s, the structure was occupied
by the Courier-Citizen Company
from 1927 until 1997, when ownership was transferred as a

that we will meet our criteria and complete the
feasibility study.

Lowell Trade Center (LTC) entails a
mix of public and private financing to
achieve feasibility. To achieve successfully development and satisfaction of its objectives, the CMAA

make the feasibility study become a

The Project will help to promote business opportunities, expression of Cambodian cultural, and a

An important partner in determining
the CMAA's ability to develop and
operate the project is the city of

capable Development Team, making
sure that the Board is equipped to

jTHANK YOU TO THE TOWER GROUP STAFFj
Dear Tower Group Staff,
On behalf of the CMAA and Monorom's staff, we would like to thank all staff from the Tower Group for organizing
the Christmas Party for the Monorom's kids. Your generosity and kindness will be remembered throughout the child's life.
The gifts you provided on December 17, 1998, to Cambodian children with developmental disabilities will be imprinted in
every child's heart. Our community in Lowell will never forget you.
Traditionally, in Cambodia, children with developmental disabilities are looked down upon and parents may feel
that they are being punished for some past sin. If the family is well off, the children will be kept at home, out of the eyes of
the public and cared for with little expectation for their future. For less fortunate families, children are left for the street or
relegated to state run institutions. These facilities are literally dumping grounds for societies unwanted. Beyond food and
shelter, little else is provided.
CMAA's staff has worked diligently to help these children and their families to seek appropriate services as well as
to eliminate isolationism. We want to provide positive reinforcement for them, so that they do not feel left out in our community. By doing that, Monorom's staff has created many social/recreational activities after school hours, to integrate these
children into the mainstream. We have literacy training, computer training, classical dance, and we meet three days a week to
implement these activities.
We have seen many improvements in every child's life through these activities. They have eliminated many barriers such as, shyness, language barriers, loneliness, and limitations due to physical disabilities. Now, they have opportunities
to explore the real world through our organization. Their participation in our activities will help them to prepare for selfproficiency and self-independence in the future.
We're looking forward to working with you cooperatively in the future. You are always welcome to tour our facility in
Lowell, at 165 Jackson Street at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Continued from page 24
we tend to think that it is because he is
bad or the parents did not raise him
right. That is why he has become so
violent. Yet, through our labels and
our prejudices we leave children with
few options to develop into healthy individuals.
We confuse them with
mixed messages of our own as to what
is right and wrong. Some of them are
living in a state of paranoia, in their
gang code of ethic and law, they see the
world as an unfriendly place, with suspicion, and plans of vengeance against
those whom they perceive are against
them.
When found guilty, the two boys,
both age fifteen, will be jailed for the
rest of their lives. Four young lives are
now lost. Without adult guidance and a
positive role model, these children are
not able to know how to deal with all
that they are going through. Images of
enemies invade their hearts and souls,
thinking that they would be free to commit a murder in revenge of their friend's
death.
There is a whole world out there,
which most adults do not understand.
The adults may not have the skills or the
patience to listen. They may be the enemies these children see in the world.
Some are abusive, drug addicts, alco-
28
holies, and misogynists. These people
may themselves be the children of the
adults who had also abused and neglected them. And yet many of our
families develop incredible resiliency in
an environment that is infested with
drugs, substance abuse, poor housing,
and gang-related violence. Many of our
parents struggle hard to understand their
children and provide for them But parents cannot do it alone in the presence of
strong external influences. As a community it is our obligation to understand our
youth, support them, foster their learning
and development, and cherish them For
in the end the youth are our future leaders, they are the most valuable resource
that we have.

The CMAA is now making plans for improving itself over the next five years. Our goal is to make the CMAA a better and stronger part of the Lowell Cambodian community. The first part of our plan is to make a list of the problems which
affect the Cambodian people living in the Lowell area and to explore the causes of these problems. Once we have a list of the
problems of our community members, and the reasons for these problems, we can begin to create programs to help people suffering from these problems.
We are inviting all members of the community to participate in this project. We want to hear from as many people as
possible. Do you see a problem in the community? Do you have an opinion about why the community has a problem? We
want to hear what you have to say! We have survey forms for anyone interested to fill out.
If you want to fill out a form, please call the CMAA at 454-4286 and ask for Joe Sexton, Development Director, or
come to the CMAA office at 165 Jackson Street..

Teaching and Volunteering through
the Years:
In Appreciation of Lester Chisholm
Francis Lester Chisholm (Les), a volunteer at the Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association (CMAA) since 1989, has
assisted me as a volunteer in my English as a Second Language class for the last six years. As he approaches eightyeight years old he is still coming to the CMAA two days a
weeks from nine o' clock to one o'clock.
He has an excellent way with my students, who are all
single mothers, and they love him very much. Les is a quiet,
intelligent gentleman and a generous human being. He has
been helping the Cambodian people for over ten years. Everyday during our break from class he visits our Komar Day
Care to see the children and play with them. He loves these
children and loves to play Santa Claus at Christmas time.
His generosity to the teachers at the daycare helps them buy
mittens, socks, and other things for the children at Christmas.
Recently, I spoke with one of Les' first students. This
student came to the United States with his family in 1989.
He came to the CMAA to learn English. He was assigned a
teacher, Mr. Francis Lester Chisholm. Twice a week, Les
would pick the student up at the CMAA and they would go to
Les' house in Tyngsboro where they would practice English
lessons. After awhile, they became good friends. In fact, as
time went on, the student became more like a member of Les'
family. They adopted each other as father and son.
His first lesson with Les took place at a restaurant. After
they ate, they had food left over and Les told the student to
ask for a "doggie bag." "But I don't have a dog," the student
said. Les explained to him how people in this country ask for
"doggie bags" in this country for their leftover food. His
second lesson at Les' house was to learn how to spell the
word "rhododendron." However, to this day the student still
has trouble spelling that word.
This former student has become part of Les' family and
describes them as nice, helpful, warm, caring, and loving.
Les also has four daughters, and one of them has helped this
student change careers from being a farm worker to being a
community organizer. He is very thankful to the Chisholm
family. They are his family.
Les, we thank you for all of your dedication and commitment to the Cambodian people-may you be here at the
CMAA for many more years to come.
CMAA always welcomes volunteers.

President of the Board of Directors of the Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association, I
am proud to present this issue of Khmer Lowell magazine. Through this magazine, we
:
hope to share with you some of the rich cultural heritage of Lowell's Cambodian com- :
munity, and to invite you to learn more about the many interesting aspects of our community.
*
*
*
*
*
*
*This year the CMAA will celebrate its 15 anniversary. In later issues of Khmer Lowell, we will talk *
:
:
*more about our plans to mark that important milestone. Certainly, in the last 15 years, CMAA has *
th
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
come a long way, just as Lowell ' s Cambodian community has. As I write this, CMAA has a staff of
: over 28 dedicated people serving the people of Lowell. Through the generosity of the Courier Corpo- :
ration, the CMAA has its own building. In coming years, the CMAA building will be developed into
: a professional and commercial center for the entire Southeast Asian community to be proud of.
:
: However, as much as we enjoy our present success, the Board of Directors and the Staff of the :
CMAA have our eyes on the future. Over the next several months, the CMAA will be making its
: plans for the next five years. We will be seeking the opinions of all parts of the community about the
problems which our community faces, and about what the CMAA can do to serve all of the community better in the coming years. I am inviting every reader of Khmer Lowell to assist the CMAA in
: this work. If you have any suggestions or ideas on how the CMAA can be improved, or can change
to help the community more effectively, please write to the Board of Directors, Cambodian Mutual
Assistance Association, 165 Jackson Street, Lowell, MA 01852.

On this special occasion of our Cambodian New Year, the Year of the Ox, the
Board of Directors and staff of the Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association of
Greater Lowell, Inc. (CMAA) would like
to extend our warmest wishes for Happy
Cambodian New Year and good health to
each and everyone of our constituents,
friends, supporters, donors, state and local leaders, neighbors and people across
the nations.
We would also like to express our
most grateful appreciation to our funding
agencies, our state and local leaders for
their support and encouragement. Their
humanitarian assistance is evidenced in our
work of serving the poor, the disabled, the
sick, the elderly, the children, the women,
refugees and immigrants, and the non-citizens to live, learn, grow, and to co-exist
in a multicultural, mixed social and economic society, called "America."
As we celebrate Cambodian New
Year today here in America, it reminds us
all twenty-three years ago in April 17,
1975, when the Communist Khmer Rouge
took over Cambodia just two day after
those joyous holidays. They immediately
started their draconian communist ideology that resulted in two out of Cambodia's
seven million population perishing from the
face of the planet earth and about a million
more fleeing for thier lives to resettle all
over the world. That is the reason why
there are about 25,000 Cambodians living
in Lowell today. As we celebrate our New
Year, this year, we would like to recommit
ourselves to the task of serving these survivors and marginalized people. We vow
to help them to become self-suffiecient
and also to be productive citizens of this
country.
Again, Thank you for your continued support. Our tasks would not be possible without you. May the Year of the Ox
bring you and your loved ones happiness,
good health, prosperity, and peace always!

the looting.
Other high-level Siem Reap
sources tell a different story, pointing the finger at Savoeun as the mastermind behind the pillaging and
smuggling.
None of the 17 soldiers has been
arrested.
The artifacts--which were apparently en route to Thailand, neatly cut
into numbered pieces so they could
be reassembled--were recovered
after a 24-hour cat and mouse game
between the soldiers and military police.
The pieces are now at the Conservation d'Angkor in Siem Reap
town. Foreign conservation officials
said they constituted the biggest haul
oflooted artifacts ever recovered in
Cambodia.
The total of nine large Apsaras
and 19 Naga statues came from Koh
Ker temple, roughly between Siem
Reap and Preah Vihear provinces.
According to various sources--all
of whom did not want to be named
for fear ofreprisals--the relics were
found on a military truck traveling
down Route 6 towards Banteay
Meanchey province, which borders
Thailand.
The first attempt to stop the truck
came at a military police checkpoint
outside Siem Reap at Touk Snoul.
The driver flashed his headlights and
drove through the checkpoint.
Forty kilometers away, in Kralanh
district, the truck was made to stop
at another check-point on the border

guns at them as the MPs wanted to
stop the truck," said one witness.
As well as their guns, the soldiers
showed the MPs a permit signed by
Savoeun allowing them to transport
"wood."
"There was no wood whatsoever," explained one shopkeeper in
Kralanh.
Prevented from going ahead by
the MPs, the soldiers resorted to offering them up to 20,000 Baht ($800)
to allow them to pass, witnesses said.
Despite the threats and offers of
money, the MPs checked the truck
and discovered the statues hidden
beneath an oilcloth on which the soldiers were seated.
The MPs would not let the truck
leave, and telephoned their Siem
Reap headquarters to receive instructions from their superiors.
With a potential confrontation
brewing, an ad hoc committee of
army and military police officials was
hurriedly set up in Siem Reap to decide what to do.
Back at the checkpoint, there was
a three-hour stand-off before the
Siem Reap committee came to a tentative solution--the soldiers were all
allowed to leave but the truck was
impounded and photographs taken of
its haul.
The truck was then sent back to
Siem Reap, and apparently put in the
care ofKhan Savoeun. The next day,
24 hours after the truck had been
stopped, the artifacts were delivered
to Conservation d'Angkor.
Savoeun later told newspapers
that he had been responsible for
catching the smugglers.
But no-one was arrested. MPs
said they knew they could not make
any arrests.
"It is not the first time that such a
situation has occurred, said one MP.
"We often have trouble with the soldiers. The small cannot reprimand the
big ones."
According to several sources and
documents, Khao Savuth, chief of
Savoeun' s bodyguard unit, was
among the escorts on the truck, as
well as at least four of his men.
Savoeun, interviewed last week
at his home in Siem Reap, said he
did not know anyone named Savuth.
But, when questioned further, he
acknowledged that some of his men
had been aboard the truck.
"I gave the orders to some of my
men to dress up and pretend to be
robbers, that is why they were on
the truck," he said.
Savoeun said that he himself had
arranged the second check-point
which stopped the truck--a version

various funding agencies including the
Lowell's CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) and foundations for
this project.
We would like to extend our invitation
to community members to be part of
this project. We would welcome your
input, expertise, and support. Please
contact the CMAA at 125 Perry Street,
Lowell, Massahcusetts, and talk to

program has used the money to fund
a computer training course. For ten
hours a week, Chath pierSath conducts a class for the young parents
who range in age from 14-22. He
works with small groups of eight
women at a time, splitting the larger
class. By doing so, each student has
the chance to receive individual attention.
The women learn computer vocabulary, discovering that a mouse
is not always a small furry animal
and that the word "window" does not
always refer to panes of glass.

sound of young women learning essential typing skills.

They have learned how to open and
close documents and how to save
these documents on both the hard
dri ve and a di sk. Helping these
young women become computer literate will certainly assist them after
they have received their GED. They
will use their new computer skills to
write papers for college courses or
as valuable skills in their quest for
jobs.
With the increased rate of new
technology always in discovery,
some people may be left out. Most
urban poor do not have access to a
computer. However, in order to live
in today' s technological world, one
has to know something about computers. The young parents involved
in this computer class have little or
no typing skills. Some had never seen
a computer before. This is a great
opportunity for them to learn, enhance their life ' s skills and catch on
to technology. One can do a lot with
computers. Young women can even
find friends and support through the
Internet. There are children's
websites which they can access and
help their children to learn and discover their world . There are
websites which will enable these
young women to pull out a whole lot
ofresources. When they are in college, they can easily access information on the internet. The goal of
this computer class is to give young
parents access to technology, typing
skills and hook them up to the internet
once they get comfortable using a
computer. We are grateful to the
Department of Transitional Assistance for providing the needed fundmg.

of events disputed by MPs and other
well-informed sources in Siem Reap
connected with the seizure.
Savoeun said that his 'spies' on
the truck were unable to arrest anyone because the robbers fled. He said
he would rather try to catch the middlemen and the Thai receivers of
looted artifacts, rather than soldiers.
"They are poor and they are offered lots of money. They are not to
blame," said the general.
Asked about the authorization
shown by the soldiers, he said that
he signed many permits and that the
one that they had was exclusively for
wood.
He said that the truck, registered
to another military division, could
have been bought by civilians.
Savoeun declared that he was eager to stop the plundering of Cambodian artifacts, which he had been
told about by contacts in Thailand.
Middlemen had offered up to 2
million Baht for people who smuggled artifacts from Siem Reap temples, he said. No-one had come to
see him and offer money, he added.
Savoeun acknowledged that
some senior officials in Siem Reap
alleged that he was involved in the
robbery. "If they want to file a complaint against me, I will be the winner. I am honest and innocent and I
never receive a bribe. "
He said some Thai smugglers
wanted to kill him.
"I am not afraid of bullets and I
am waiting for the one who wants to
kill me," he declared, removing a pistol from his briefcase and putting it
on his desk.
IF the Angkor temple artifacts
seized in Siem Reap had made it to
Thailand, they could perhaps have

A
t the Immigrant community
meeting at St. Joseph Hall on
Saturday, I was driven to tears by
the act of one elderly Cambodian
man. I had asked him to sign a petition to tell Congressmen and women
and state representatives to do something about the current welfare benefits cut to the elderly and the disabled. The petition asks the legislature to set aside state funds to ensure a minimal safety net of services
to legal immigrants and refugees. It
asks the state to specifically support
and fund the following five-part Compact to protect Massachusetts Immigrants in the FY 98 budget and
provide:
Cash assistance for the elderly and
disabled losing disability payment
by expanding state funding of
EAEDC
Food assistance for legal immigrants
losing Food Stamps by supporting the Nutrition Assistance for
Families, Elderly, Disabled Act,
sponsored by Senator Norton
and Representative Fitzgerald
Medical assistance for immigrants
losing Medicaid by supporting an
Act to Protect Medical Assistance for legal immigrants, sponsored by Representative Antonio Cabral, Representative David
Cohen and Senator Mark
Montigny
State support for Citizenship programs
Oppose residency requirements on
aid to new immigrants
I thought about this man's life as
he carefully and meticulously wrote
down his name and all the members
of his family on a sheet of paper.
English isn' t his language, but he had
managed to learn how to spell his
name and the names of his wife and
children. He wrote, letter by letter,
those names that he thinks are important numbers on a petition to making sure his benefits remain. He was
afraid that the cut would leave him
starving or homeless. As he was
writing, his hand shook as the other
hand held onto a cane. In Cambodia, this man was a peasant who
plowed rice fields and lived with
whatever yields his fields gave to him
year by year. He gathered vegetables, herbs and fish from nature.
The rain and the seasonal changes,
good or bad, were his connection to
the world and the place in which he
dwelled. His village, his temple, his
neighbors and his family were what
he lived for. Then, when the war
came and the five long years of
Khmer Rou ge occupation , where
millions of people were persecuted
and killed, this old man fled. Through
the fire of war and explosion of mines
and firing squads, he managed to
survive and brought his family across
in one piece. Now, he's old, living in
the city of Lowell, with little or nothing to praise about his past. He tries
to live as best as he can with whatever benefits he receives from the
government because this is a democracy where humane acts of compassion and understanding still exist.
Enraged people are taking action
against institutional acts of injustice- the cutting of benefits to legal
immigrants. The man was one
among thousands who gathered that
Saturday to ask the State of Massachusetts to do something about SSI,
Food Stamps and other benefit cuts
for legal immigrants. The Federal
government is trying to force them

�THE YEAR OF THE OX
By Samkhann Khoeun
A
ncient Cambodian astrologers
observed that events on Earth
tend to follow a twelve-year pattern
with each year represented by an
animal. Depending upon which of
those years he or she was born in, a
Cambodian believed that he or she
Well, here is what I learned
from talking to older folks and also
from a little research I conducted for
my own personal enlightenment.I am
pleased to share it with you.
would be closely epitomized by its
salient characteristics after one those
animals. They noticed that those
born in the same year often share
certain basic personality traits. Thus,
symbolically, according to the year
in which each of us was born, we
are either a Rat, a Rooster, an Ox or
a Tiger; a Horse, a Dragon, a Sheep
or a Pig; a Dog, a Hare, a Monkey
or a Snake.
trological zodiac, the Ox is believed
to be steadfast and methodical, and
though some may find this down-toearth practicality routine to the point
of dullness, the Ox deserves high regard for being reliable and sensible.
It is a pity, however, that a desire to
conform often stifles an innate inventiveness, for the Ox is not without
creative imagination. But, suspicious
of anything that is untried and unproven, the Ox fears taking the initiative. Being so thoroughly dependable, the Ox may rise to positions of
authority; but here too, conservatism
prevents promotion to the highest administrative posts where quick-thinking and a flair for making immediate
decisions are essential.
The Ox may be unromantic,
So, what do people think ofyou
if you were born in the year of the
Ox? What would be the general
characteristics of people who were
born in the year of the Ox? If you
were born in following year, you are
theOx: 1901, 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949,
1961, 1973, 1985, 1997.
Occording to Cambodian as-
but there is no lack of affection for a
few select friends . Preferring such
company to a wide circle of acquaintances, the Ox can be both loyal and
possessive. In business, the Ox often brings prosperity - not through
entrepreneurial imagination and risk,
but as a result oflogical thought, resolute practicality and honest endurance. What others achieve through
flair and invention is but a shadow of
what the Ox achieve through routine and patience.
The year of the Ox is essentially a time of stability, with the promise of steady expansion. Matters proceed happiest along established lines,
and there may little by way of innovation. But this does not mean that
the year will be unfruitful, far from
it. There are rich benefits to be harvested from the previous year's sowing, literally as well as metaphorically,
since the Cambodians associate the
Ox with the earth, agriculture, tilling
and ploughing.
But while established undertakings can proceed with confidence,
it must be stressed that projects conceived during the Ox Year need a
certain urgency. In practical terms,
this means that in business matters it
is important to get that signature on
the contract, whether yours or theirs,
without delay. The opportunity may
pass all too soon. Or, if a marriage is
contemplated, it would be unwise to
consider a long engagement. The
Ox is associated with bones, limbs,
fractures, rheumatism and arthritis,
and the Year of the Ox promises
well for those suffering from ailments
of this kind.
The year of the Ox, like its
associated winter season and predawn hours, is a period of hibernation and sleep; and there are inevitably those who will be able to exploit
whatever advantages this dormant
period provides.

�CMAA - Looking Back, Looking Forward
Joachim Nickerson
he Cambodian Mutual Assis
tance Association of Greater
Lowell, which is known by its
acronym CMAA, has gone through
various transitions during its eleven
years of service to the Cambodian
community. When the Cambodians
started coming to Lowell in the late
1980s, they brought many needs with
them. First, they had to overcome
communication barriers as well as
language and cultural differences
they encountered. The CMAA was
formed as a bridge between the city's
service agencies and the newly arrived Cambodians. Some needed
welfare,jobs and education and language training. The children needed
to be enrolled in school and receive
T
...
proper medical and dental attention.
People arrived with only their IOM
bags (Immigration Office of Migration) containing INS documents.
Consistently, the CMAA has been
there to assist immigrants with their
needs.
The CMAA has gone through
three directors . Mr. Samkhann
Khoeun, the current director, is the
fourth. The first director was Teresa
Therbold, who passed away in 1994,
Vera Godley was the second and
Pere Pan was the third. They all
contributed to the growth and the
functions of the organization as a
human service, non-profit organization.
Neda Nou, who lived in Lowell
for 12 years and worked at the
CMAA the longest, recalled Komar
DayCare when they had only three
children because parents didn ' t understand the importance of preschool education. Now, the daycare
is full with beautiful, vibrant and intelligent children. While the parents
are learning English and working to
gain more work skills, these children
are enjoying their own learning exploration with caring teachers. The
daycare is also looking towards expansion when the CMAA acquires
the Courier Building. Vivian Guimond,
the current Director of the Komar
had expressed great delight toward
working with these children. Individual children learn at different
rates, and she helps them to discover
a process oflearning that will enable

�10 Years of Success!
F
ebruary was a very exciting
month for the Komar Day
Care Center. It marked the
'·
10 th year of serving children and
their families in the Cambodian community as well as in various other
ethnic groups in the city of Lowell.
An "open house" celebration on February 19 th
welcomed
many current and
past employees of
the day
care center and of
the Cambodian
Mutual
Assistance Associ ation
(CMAA).
T h e
Komar
Day Care
Center
was first opened on February 17,
1987 by Betty Borden to reach the
child care needs associated with the
influx of the Cambodian immigrants.
It served to help the families adjust
to their new American life, learn
good parenting skills, and become
productive citizens, all while maintaining their own
cultural heritage.
The children
also have shared
expenences
with families of
other ethnic
groups including
Vietnamese,
Laotian, Spanish,
and Portuguese.
On opening day Betty
Borden was fortunate to have a wonderful assistant
and Khmer translator, Neda Nou.
Neda continues her role today and is
the longest employed worker at the
CMAA! Both were honored with
presentations by executive director
Samkhann Khoeun, the guests were
entertained by Cambodian dance and
music. We were delighted with the
delicate moves of Borbara Heng and
Signit Prak doing the Tiva Propey
dance. It is a children's dance that
was done in Cambodia to commemorate Children's Day. Following this,
Am Chom-Pond played songs on the
dulcimer and the bamboo flute. Our
sincere thanks go out to these performers for volunteering their talents
and adding to our festivities.
Some of our guests included
Marina Schell, administrative manager at the Department of Social
Services (funder of the day care),
Vichenny Keo-Sam and Ro Suon,
past counselors in the day care, and
Joan Gendron, Audra Pinkam, and
Elma Vaidya, former employees of
the CMAA. Everyone
enjoyed reminiscing over
photographs and stories
of past years. This socializing continued over
a delicious lunch of various ethnic foods. The
children's playful gaiety and excitement
throughout the day reflected the success of
the gathering.
Thank you to all for
helping to make this
such a memorable
day!
The Komar Staff
corsages and plaques in appreciation
for their many years of service to
the day care. Betty retired last year
in March.

them to survive in the real world
when they are older: When the
daycare expands, she wants to have
toddlers and more children between
the ages of three and four. Vivian
also teaches parents how to help
their children continue learning at
home. The children learn through
love and trust, through patience and
understanding. The rule also applies
to the services the CMAA provides.
Changes in attitude and in process
oflearning are slow. The CMAA is
committed to helping the Cambodians deal with their day to day
struggles and survival.
The Cambodian refugees contribute a lot to the city of Lowell economically. Neda Nou, who came to
Lowell in 1984, remembers Lowell
when it had little to offer the Cambodian community. There were no
shopping places or markets for Southeast Asians. They began to build
many stores and shops. Then, real
estates prices began to go up, and
many old houses were rented. Also,
car dealers increased their sales since
most Cambodians saved up their
cash to pay for a car all at once rather
than leasing it for a period of time.
Even funeral homes made their
money. In the 1980s, Lowell was a
depressed city. Now, itis vibrant due
to the multitude of cultures here. It
is culturally unique to be in this cosmopolitan of immigrants.
For this coming New Year, the
CMAA has much to celebrate. We
have a newly elected board working
h!lfd to set new visions, priorities and
direction for funding sources. The
Courier Building project is under
way. Everybody involved is very
excited about the limitless opportunities the building offers. But no
matter where it is located, the
CMAA will continue to be a source
of help for the many immigrants in
Lowell.

.An lnvit~tion
to all become citizens. However,
this man probably does not have a
lot of years to live. He can write
only his name and the names of his
family members. He cannot memorize all the answers to the required
questions the INS would ask. There
is one thing that was wanted that
Saturday. Social justice. Like the
Pledge of Allegiance concludes,
" ... justice for all," not just for citizens. Clare Underwood from the
Merrimack Valley Project reminded
us that we were invited in but to find
out at the end that we couldn't sit
down to the same table. This is not
justice, and Father Jaime Loiacano,
from the Nuestra Senora del Carmen
Church, would agree that what the
government is doing right now can
damage a lot of lives. America is a
land of immigrants, and to victimize
these people would contradict all that
this country stands for.
{TJ ou are cordially invited to join us in celebrating our Cambodian New Year

Celebration featuring authentic Southeast Asian food, live music band,

�Space Radar to Study Khmer Temples at Angkor
ARCHEOLOGISTS, who make a practice
of densifying exotic cultures of the long
ago, had their hands full here last week
comprehending a very modern one that could
be a valuable ally in their investigation of
the distant past
At first, it was one of those awkward
encounters between two cultures - not
across the wide gulf between science and the
humanities, as elucidated by the scientistwriter C.P. Snow in the I 960s, but between
two quite different sciences: archeology and
the technology ofremote sensing from space.
After two days of deciphering each
other' s arcane language, the archeologists
managed to recogni ze how theirneeds could
be met in part by the new technology's
capabilities. The result was a plan for using
space radar to advance the study of one of
th e world ' s most magnificent archeological
sites, the Khmer temples of Angkor in the
remote jungle of northern Cambodia.
The archeolo gists hope that a detailed
ana lysis of radar pictures, taken of th e
Angkor region by an American space sh uttle
last October, will open th eir eyes to more
ruins hidden in the jungle and will give them
a better und erstandin g of the total environment that supported this sacred and
admini strative capital of the Khmer civilizat ion from the 9th throu gh the 13th
centuries. Man y of th e pal aces, temples,
moats and waterworks were constructed at
the time Europe was building its great cathedrals.
" I came here mildly curious, and a little
skeptical, " said Dr. Elizabeth Moor, a University of London archeologi st who is
directing excavations at Angkor. "Now I' m
quite excited. This is a new methodology.
We can develop new research goals and new
ways of looking at the site."
Scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasaden a, Cal if. , where the imaging
radar system was developed, came away
from th eir encounter with archeologist with
a greater awareness th at th eir technology
has more potential uses, and eager users,
than they had originally conceived. The
primary purpose of th e experimental flights
by th e National Aeronautics and Space Administration was to test the radar' s abi lity to
monitor natural and human-induces environmental changes taking place on Earth.
Dr. Diane L. Evans, chief scienti st of the
radar project, promised to supply the
archeologists with the raw data from which
th e radar images were produced and adv ise
them on how to filter and ana lyze the data to
extract information not immediately obvious in
the pictures.
If a proposal for another shuttle flight with the
radar is approved, she said, the
needs of archeologists working at many places
around the world would be carefully considered.
Until now, the application of space imaging
radar to archeology has been an afterthought.
"There has been sort of a language and idea
barrier between the radar people and their users," said Dr. Pamela Logan, science director of
the China Exploration and Research Society in
Altadena, Calif., which will be using the technology to search for ruins along the legendary
Silk Road in the desert of northwestern China.
The meeting, held at Princeton University,
was the first formal attempt to bridge the gap
between these two sciences. It was organized by
the World Monuments Fund in New York City,
which specializes in the conservation of architectural monuments, and the Roy al Angkor
Foundation of Budapest, which conducts research at the Cambodian site. The J. M. Kaplan
Fund, a New York philanthropy, supported the
meeting as part of its new effo rts of encourage
the application of new technologies to archeo logy.
Interest in exploring the ruins of Angkor,
covering 125 square miles, has increased after
an interruption of two decades caused by warfare and civil strife. Some of the temples of
brick, sandstone and limestone have fallen into
disrepair, some being overgrown by jungle vines.
Looting has occurred, and gunfire can still be
heard in the hinterlands.
The danger of land mines makes large areas
inaccessible. Archeologists suspect that these
areas contain evidence of settlements where the
builders of the temples lives and also clues to
prehi storic occupation, perhaps go ing back to
5000 B.C. More than 60 prehistoric mounds
have already been identified, and villagers often
dig up stone tools, but few of the mounds have
been scientifically excavated.
The centerpiece of the conference was the
blowup of a color picture, which NASA scientists had just processed from radar data gathered
in a shuttle pass over Southeast Asia. Targeting
Angko r had been a last minute addition to the
mission, after an official of the World Monuments Fu nd read a newspaper account and sent
an urgent req uest to NASA.
Huddling around the picture, arch eo logists
saw all th e old fami li ar places. There was the
principal temple complex, Angkor Wat, as a
large green rectangle. It was surrounded by a
moat in strai ght black lines. Dr. Moore pointed
to Preah Ko, a cluster of ninth-century palaces
5
that to her "contai ns evidence of th e moment
of change with the introduction of Indian
culture" by the Khmer kings.
Dark rectangles denoted the large reservoirs that some archeologists think were
reflecting pools to accentuate the temple
splendors, as well as sources of water for the
people and for rice cultivation. A landscape
architect could make out the courses of
ancient rivers, now dry, and other geological features that could be important in
understandin g regional development.
"Angkor is all about water," said John H.
Stuffs, program directorofthe World Monuments Fund. " It seems to be of paramount
importance to understand the old hydrological systems, if they are to be properly restored.
Water in th e old moats separated the outer
world from those sacred precincts. And
waterways were probably necessary to bring
in the limestone for construction."
Some of the archeologists came to the
meeting with unrealistic expectation. No,
Dr. Evans said, the radar could not directl y
expose the presence of buried temple ruins.
In deserts, the microwave signals can penetrate th e arid sand to depths of 15 feet,
which has revealed
ancient ri verbeds and apparent art ifacts in
the Egyptian desert. But radar does not
penetrate moist so ils, although surface textures and variations in vegetation record ed
in the images could provide clue to where
something is buried, especially if the images
are analyzed in conjunction with aeri al or
space remote-sensing surveys in visible and
infrared light
The space imaging radar system, tested
on two shuttle missions last year, transmits
pulses of mi crowave energy in three different wavelengths toward Earth and measures
the strength and time delay of th e energy that
is scattered back to the antenna. The returning signals can be read in ways to sho w th e
shape and nature of the surface. A composite of the data is used to produce
photograph-like images of the terrain and
structures on it.

�LOOKING BEYOND A BROKEN CULTURE:
Its Legacies and Its Future
eluding our culture in the scheme of things. This requires not only a
vast knowledge, but vision and imagination to move forward in the
making of a culture. Therefore, if we believe ourselves to be leaders,
and regardless of whatever field our experti se belongs to, or whatever
political tendency we may associate with, we must center our energies on the reconstruction of this broken cu ltu ral center, and on the
formation of a "modern" Khmer culture. We will be best served by
opening ou rselves up to learn culture from a WORLD VI EW, and
certainly we must understand fully the cu ltural activities of our immediate neighbors. Otherwise, we will continually run the risk of getting caught in the trap of " cu ltural coloni zation" over and over again.
Khmer culture has flourished and receded many times throughout her
history. This fluctuation in prosperity and in government has helped
to bring about a series of changes within the culture over the centuries. In add ition, different ethnic gro ups have become influential at
different times and there has been a broad scope of interaction with
the peoples of other nations. Cultural richness is a kind of measurement of the happiness and harmony of a people. Each time it is lost,
there is a national need to rebuild it. The people begin to restore, to
preserve and to recollect the past, and moreover, they begin to develop a " new" tradition . This was seen to occur after the decline of
the glorious Angkor Wat period . The outpouring of creative energy
which came forth at this time is often referred to as a "rebirth" of the
culture.
In order to create a " modern" culture, we must first modernize the
minds of our people and educate our children to see beyond the boundaries of the Khmer nation. After all, boundaries are continually changi ng anyway . About 2,000
years ago, the people of Kauk Th loak, an area which
was }pproximately in the southwestern part of Cambodia, l:lecame a well-known cultural center which was in
touch with other thriving cultures. The Chinese
referred to this place as Fou Nan, and recorded
its cultural diversity, invention and adv anced fa. cilities. Perhaps because of their seaport city of
0 Keo they were a center for commercial trade,
_ and most importantly, a place where intercultural
exchanges could take place. But, it should be
pointed out that the people of Kauk Thloak or
Fou Nan, had their own indigenous culture, and
had a strong enough identity to counter-balance
with the various commercial and cultural influences. Was this a " modern" culture which was
begun by the people of Kauk Th loak? And what
about the culture which thrived one thousand years later at Angkor?
And more recently, did we really succeed in implementing intercultural elements in our curriculum structure in the study of world culture, after obtaining independence from the colonial French? Were
we successful in our " open-door" mentality during the Democratic
Kampuchea regime? And what happened to Buddhism during the
reign of this regime? Were the people and our culture recognized
properly at this time? The questions are essential to our healing as a
nation, and necessary if we are to avert the repetition of the same
miscalculations. We can now wonder what might have happened had
we employed some Khmer futurologists, political scientists o r cultural leaders to foresee what has recently transpired in Eastern Europe.
George Crumb, an eminent American composer, ~aid,
" ... there are more people who see culture evo lvi g i~ ti.le:
form of a spiral rather then in the form of an evo- ( · •.
lution along a single line. " Well-known anthro- ll"
polog ist May Ebihara, when addressing the issue
of preserving "traditional" elements of Khmer culture at a conference in Washington, D.C. in 1985,
stated : " One must also recognize that Khmer culture cannot be conceived of as someth ing frozen
in amber like some fo ssil." And, when addressing the issue of Asian traditions at a conference in
Hong Kong, composer/scholar Chou Wen-Chung
said, " We must not think of it as quiescent water
in a self-contained lake, whose immobile beauty
inspires memories of the past and admiration for
what has been created. No, let us see Asian esthetics as a flowing stream, which pushes forward
irreversibly in constant response to an ever-changing environment and in eternal search for the future and in which the
past lives in the present."
Each time after the Khmer people have suffered some kind of cultural
downfall , there has been a period when the people have exercised
creativity and imagination to restore and to in vent new fo rms of tradition . Once again the Khmer people are beginning to interact with
forei gn cultures, even before the nation is stabilized politically or economically. Khmer culture and education will now find new inspiration and energy from many sources both inside and outside its boundaries. We must develop a Khmer cu lture both withou t accepting everything from past traditions or abandoning it. The modern Khmer
culture can be a tool to unify and harmonize a wou nded people, regardless of individual political tendencies, or past traumatic memories, just as it has happened throughout our stormy hi story. Once and
for all , we must support a culture that belongs to our people and the
future generations to come, at any cost. C ultural strength is something that all Khmer people are proud of, and something which has no
boundaries in time, in economics, or in politics. Jfwe will be willing
to stand on the other side of a " closed-door" mentality, we w ill succeed in developing a " modern" Khmer culture that includes everyone.
For example, many of our vi llagers recogni ze and participate in the
Khmer culture with much more sophi stication than many of our intellectuals, educators, arti sts o r politicians. We will successfully lead
our own people on ly once we have succeeded in recognizing and in-
However, we will have to go beyond the search for a thorough knowledge of the Khmer culture, and consequently the search for an " identity". Simply put, once one finds his or her identity, what is next?
Our present position and attitude should include responsibility for the
future generations and its culture. Again, we must direct ourselves
toward the development of an educated Khmer people. This will be
well worth o ur energies.
How should this education take place? Cultivating the knowledge
and interest in Khmer culture does not require that reinventi on of what
had been created in the past. On the contrary, much of the effort
------------------8
�would go toward creating within mediums wh ich exist in the current
and interacting with cultural elements which include the rest of the
world . A modern Khmer culture wi ll be a part of a global vi llage,
regardless of ideological pluralism. It will be important to strive for a
curricu lum that is neither Khmer-centric, Euro-centric, America-centric, and so on.
The implementation of the arts, religion and humanities should be a
strong part of the curriculum, whi ch together with the sciences and
technology can propel the Khmer nation into a truly " modern" culture
relatively soon . There must be a balance between cultural education
and knowledge and techno logical expertise. This will provide the
youth ofour nation with a peaceful co nn ection to the rest of the world,
and a basis on which individual economic strength can build. If a
nation is strong on ly from a military or economic point of view, erosion wi ll eventuall y take places, as has been seen on this peninsula,
and in other parts of the wor ld . The culture is a human invention
which nurtures and feeds our people on both physical levels as well as
spiritual ones. A nation which can sustain a state of prolonged unity
through its cul ture, and not through a set of imported ideologies, will
survive many changes and traumas we ll . If leaders insist on ignoring
their nation ' s cu lture and the cu ltures of the world, they wi ll not succeed in obtaining the cooperation and support of their people. It is
our cu ltural hi sto ry which defi nes us, which makes us timeless and
which makes all people a world fami ly. The Khmer peop le have a
strong need to find brotherhood and sisterhood with their own people
and others around them once agai n. Making a com mitment to education in the arts and humanities will help to remind us all how much
beauty and harmony exists w ithin us.
At the turn of this century, the great French scu lptor, Auguste Rodin
saw a performance by the Royal Khmer dance troupe when it visited
France. He was deeply moved by the performance and said: "The
Cambodians have given us everything that the past holds; their own
past whi ch is equal to our own. We have li ved three days out of three
thousand years ago. It is impossible to see human nature brought to
such perfection. It was so only amo ng they and the Greeks."

The market econo my model that has been adopted throughout much of
Southeast Asia promises a better future for Cambodia too. Recently,
the Wall Street Journal reported a $25.2 million joint venture between
Dutch brewer Heineken, Singapore' s Fraser & Neave, and Cambodian

In Ca mbodi a, as in al l of Asia, you must constantly strive to preserve
face. In no way should you ever embarrass or make a Cambod ia feel
small. By always showing respect you can reduce your ex posure to the
personal conflict and grudges that are the fa llout from causing someone to lose face.

relations with people they know. The Lowell, Massachusetts area,

provides area businesspeo ple with a competitive advantages over

There is less separation of business and personal life for Cambodians.
One of the implications of this is that it is to your advantage to become
in vo lved with the whole family not just the person you are doing
business with. Remember to treat older members of the fami ly and,
older people in general, with great respect.

In Cambodian culture, looking someone straight in the eye conveys no
positive message, as in the U.S. , of sincerity. The norm is for less
intense eye contact.
Since for Cambodians, time is more relaxed, less importance is
attached to punctuality and schedules. Meetings end when business
matters have been taken care of, not when the clock says it's time to go.

�ABOUT BUYING A HOME ...
BayBank has loan officers who speak Russian , Spanish, Cam bodian, Portuguese and Vietnamese.
BayBank said it is also working on making its automatic
teller machines bilingual and will soon have Spanish on the
screens.
BancBoston Mortgaged Corp. said it has been actively
recruiting bilingual loan officers and has on staff those who
speak Spanish. Creole, Haitian, Cantonese, Portuguese and
Polish, said Marian Sullivan, senior vice president ofresidential lending.
It conducts seminars with interpreters and actively advertises those on foreign-language radio stations. It has materials
on home buying in Spanish and Chinese.
BancBoston said it has made its underwriting criteria more
flexible in an effort to obtain more first-time buyers, and since
immigrants are often first-time buyers, these guidelines benefit
them , too. For example, it has changed qualifying ratios to 33 /
38, meaning a mortgage payment can be 33 percent of one ' s
income and all debt can be 38 percent of income. It has also
reduced the application fee to $125 from $350.
Fleet Financial Group said its multilingual staff can speak
Spanish, Chinese, Italian and Hatian. It offers home-buying
seminars in churches statewide, realizing that many immigrants
form roots in their new communities by identifying with their
church , said Meg Pier, a Fleet spokeswoman.
Massachusetts Affordable Housing Alliance. (278-9100.)
This nonprofit, statewide coalition works to promote affordable housing and reaches immigrants through its homebuying workshops said Thomas Callahan, director of MAHA .
Although they are offered only in English, and occasionally in
Spanish, MAHA said it hopes to add more languages soon .
Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency. (854-1020.)
This nonprofit agency helps low- and moderate-income
families obtain below-market-rate mortgages. Consumers are
encouraged to attend a home-buying counseling course and
upon completion, are eligible for below-market-rate mortgages,
said Martha J. Vaananen, spokeswoman at MHFA. Call for
updates course schedules.
Simplifying Home Buying for Immigrants
by Mary Sit,
BOSTON GLOBE Staff
Although foreign-born newcomers to America are becoming home owner's at a faster rate than US-born Latinos or blacks,
barriers still exist for many who speak English as a second
language .
A recent study by the Harvard Joint Center for Housing
Studies showed that immigrants between the ages of25 and 34
more than double their rate of home ownership- 54.9 percent
owned homes in 1990, up from 24 .2 percent in 1980 ..
Still , a recent national housing survey by the Federal
National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) indicated that
immigrants - more than native-born residents - feel the frustration of navigating through the confusing maze of house buying.
Thirty-five percent of immigrants said " not knowing how
to get started" was a barrier to home ownership, compared to
25 percent in the main sample ofrespondents. And immigrants
were almost twice as likely to consider " discrimination or other
social barriers" as deterrents to buying a house .
The Clinton administration ' s nation housing strategy also
acknowledges that language and cultural barriers can hinder
home ownership. The US Department of lenders, mortgage
insurers and home counseling agencies to increase home ownership . It has suggested that its counseling courses include
information aimed at new immigrants, bilingual materials and
diverse employees.
Local lenders and nonprofit housing groups say they are
beginning to recognize the importance ofreaching immigrants,
a growing pool of potential home buyers. Here's an overview of
what some are doing.
Leaders. The Mortgage Bankers Association, which represents 2,600 members in real estate finance , said it is taking steps
to encourage home ownership among minorities and immigrants . Its strategy includes:
- Producing materials on cultural sensitivity and diversity
training materials for mortgage lenders.
- Promoting minority recruitment within the industry.
- Encouraging the creation of minority-owned mortgage
firms .
- Distributing Spanish-language brochures on mortgage
lending.
- Working with HUD, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to
make
sure underwriting guidelines are more flexible and reflect
cultural differences.
BayBank Mortgage Corp. has produced home-buying brochures in six languages and conducts home-buying seminars
every week during spring and fall selling seasons, said Roberta
Sydney, senior vice president of BayBank Mortgage Corp.
" We are very aware that these immigrant groups are
growing in Massachusetts, and therefore are important groups
to us . We ' ve covered the gamut in terms of the immigrant
population that exist and are growing," said Sydney, adding

�Here are some of the rights guaranteed fo r all people in the US : The
ri ght to freedom of speech, religion and press; the ri ght to a peace ful march;
the ri ght to a fair judgment in the cou rt of laws ; and the right to eq ual educati on. With these ri ghts guaranteed immi grants and legal residents still have
fewer rights than th at of a citizens.
The Lowe ll Cambod ian constituents are cu rrentl y lacki ng the voting
power needed to demand changes fo r the improvement of the city government. We, as Cambodians, must help to increase the number of reo istered
voters if we are to have an impact on local, state and federal govern~1ent at
all. The research o f last election on Cambodian voter turnout was more th an
disappointing . It is very sad for me to say but the road fo r us to make the
Lowell city government a re fl ective of our Cambodian population seems long
and bumpy. It 1 up to us to change that. And we must start now!
s
It is so ironic that we, as Cambodi ans, after having been denied the ri ght
to vote or be a part of our government fo r more than two decades in Cambodia, that when we have the freedom to do so in this country, we still remain
shy and distance ourselves from any government participations.
Illegal and legal aliens are the targets of criticism of today's social
problems. The recent anti-immigrant and anti-minority sentiments have stirred
a lot of attention for all of us. The proposed bill s to cut or e liminate social
programs for legal aliens in the US is very di sturbing for us and fo r our immigrant communities. Lowell is a Cambodi an community and it is also an immigrant community; therefo re, the new laws currently under debate do concern us.
The Lowell Cambodi an community needs government programs to support our refugee and immigrant population . The cuts will certainl y make our
people suffer more. There are certain things we can do to slow down or stop
what government is doing now and maintain these programs and services for
our community .
THE IMPORTANCE OF CITI ZENSH IP
Do yo u know and understand the ri ghts and privil eges of a US res ident
or a c itizen?
The Uni ted States Constituti on guarantees many ri ghts and privileges
fo r all people from all different ethni c and nati onaliti es, so long as they are
residi ng on US soil. There are certain ri ghts th at are guaranteed for immigrants and other legal res idents. The other special category of rights are
reserved for citi zens of this country. It is very important th at we recognize
these special ri ghts.
Most of our fellow Southeast Asians, particularly Cambodi ans, arrived
in thi s country under the status of immigrants or refugees. We ' ve departed
from our homeland to escape war and political persecuti on. Each and everyone o f us trul y crav in g fo r freedom and democracy . When we settl ed in this
country, we wanted the same thing as other groups of immigrants or Americans. We seek and want the oppo rtunity to achi eve the so-call ed " American
Dream".
In the US, Cambodians were scattered all over the states as part of their
resettl ement plan in thi s new land . For a long peri od o f time, people lost
contact with one another.
Bi ological family members were living thousands of mil es apart from
each oth er, neighbors and family friends from the camps were no longer able
to see each other to chat or consult, and unaccompanied minors were placed
wi th Ameri can families and being raised as Americans. Durin g thi s important time, many of us begin to recognize th at the Kluner identity is beg inning
to slip away . Identity crisis started to surface.
T o initi ate a sense of pride and unity, Cambod ians started to network
with each other thro ughout the United States and many o fus moved closer to
our friends and families . Many of us just wanted to be closer to other Cambodians. Like other ethnic minorities living in the US , our gravi tati on toward our Cambod ian compatriots was a natural and comfo rting phenomena .
Whether in Long Beach, Cali fo rnia, Providence, Rhode Island or Lowell ,
Massachusetts, Cambod ian co mmunities were sprouting up in large numbers
and remain ali ve and well today.
. A recent US census indicates that the Lowell Cambodi an popul ation is
a bit over 18,500, with an equal number of families mov ing in as those who
are movin g out. The number of Cambodians are almost a quarter of the total
L_ well popul ation. With our large numbers, we should be able to stop the
o
city government from usi ng us as doormat fo r their political agenda. We
must get involved.
Cambodi ans are peopl e with a proud and unique heritage . Our culture
and language must be maintained and preserved but at the same time, we
must be civicall y responsi bl e as a US res ident or citizen. In order for us to be
able to fully participate in the main stream American soc iety, first we must
take the respons ibility of becoming an American citizen.
It does not matter much how many Cambodians are living in Lowell :
10,000, 20,000 or half a million. Neither does it really matter how loud we
can scream or curse among ourselves for the lack of services or because we
don ' t like the new laws being proposed by Co ngress or state leg islature.
Without the ci tizenship and the voting power, one cannot demand changes
from hi s/her own government.
Bei ng a US citi zen means many things to many peopl e. Voting, however, 1 the most common facto r fo r people wanting to be an American citis
zen. Other ri ghts of citizens are the ri ght to travel in foreign countries with
the American passport and if anythin g happen to you, the US government is
responsibl e to get you back. Sponsoring relatives from one's native country
is a_nother ri ght of a c iti zen. Many Cambodi ans are interested in sponsoring
the ir loved ones from Cambodia; without citi ze nship one cannot do that.
C iti zens of this w untry are abl e to obtain a federal or state government job;
illegal or legal altens cannot. But the most recognizable and awesome power
of all guaranteed by the US Constitution fo r a citi zen is the power to cast his/
her vote during elections. This ri ght is the foundation of the term "government by the peopl e".
Immi grants and other legal residents are granted with certain alienable
ri~hts under the laws. These ri ghts and privileges are protected by the Bill of
Ri ghts (the first 10 Amendments ) of the United States Constitutions so that
people can live and work in harmony. The two categori es of res idents, immigrant and legal resident however, does permit to have a voice in the government. But thi s does not mean that they have the ri ght to vote.
I.
We have to become more active in our community- make ourse lves
visib le to the general popul ation (white majority) whenever issues arise th at
concern us and our community.
2.
Become an American citizen- if yo u' re not yet a citizen, reg ister fo r a
citi zenship class; or if your need to poli sh yo ur English ski ll s, sign up for
English as a second language (ESL) classes at the CMAA or at the Adu lt
Learning Center.
3.
Reg ister to vote. This is the most important thing one of us can do fo r
our community in times of drastic changes in governmental policy. To sum it
up, each and everyone of us Cambodian-Ameri can must make every effo rt to
go out and vote during election, local, state, or nati onal.
To ass ist Cambodi ans in the Merrimack Valley to become an American
citizen, the Cambodian-American Voter League (CA VL) si nce it was establi shed in 1990, in cooperation with the CMAA have been ab le to provide
citizenship classes to assistant our fellow Cambodians to become citizens.
We will continue to provide this needed services for man y years to co me.
The Cambod ian-Ameri can Voter League consists of all volunteers members and Board of Directors. We believe that our community is the fou ndati on of our culture and heritage . Community activism is our strength toward
the progress o f our peopl e. We truly would like to encourage Cambodi ans to
become American citizens.
Currently, we have citizenship classes being conducted at the CMAA
on every Saturday from IO A. M. to 12 P.M. Our community needs Cambodians to be citizens. Please stop by and sign up fo r classes. We can make the
city of Lowell a better place to work and live.

please contact: Dorothy Lane, Program Manager or Heang Diep, Job
Developer, Assisted Placement Program at 454-4286 ..
ASSISTED PLACEMENT PROGRAM
The Assisted Placement Program of the CMAA was put in place to
give you the help and support yo u need to make a difference in your
li ves. We, previously talked about Welfare Reform and each and
everyo ne of us needing to become responsible for ourselves through
employment. We, in Assisted Placement, are committed to prepare
yo u and assist yo u in getting what is needed for you to be in control .
We , have many components in our training programs, such as: Job
Read iness, Skills Sharpening, supported Work, Job Placement and
Follow-up. Trainees learn how to find a Job, to write a resume, the
interview, what is expected of employees, safety awareness, benefits
and the list goes on and on. We are ready to address questions during
each and every session. We are ready to assist an employer when he
has a problem needin g our help . (perhaps he needs help with translation). The Supported Work component of APP gives students a chance
to gai n valuable on-the-job work experience. Supported Work is a
paid on-the-job training program that leads to full -time employment
in local area companies. Trainees in APP are offered jobs in the compani es where they do their paid work assignments as assemblers. Employers are pleased with supported work trainees as they are able to
see that th e trainee is able to handle the job before actually becoming
a permanent employee. We have in Assisted Placement, reached and
exceeded our goals for the year. We have also expanded our outreach
to empl oyers and will continue to market the CMAA and our programs. Not only to create new job opportunities for our people but
also to create good will in our community. There have been many
changes in our staffing this past year Management of the program
went from Elma to Nancy and then to Dorothy. APP has been very

DES IGN, LAYOUT & PUBLI SHING
After two years of planning, a proj ect des igned to link two diverse nonprofit agencies, T he Merrim ack River Watershed Council
(MRWC) and the Cambodian Mutual Ass istance Associati on (CMAA)
has co mbined to foc us o n environmental issues affecting th e popu lati o ns in Lowe ll .
T he current goal of the M R WC is to teach the Cambodi an communi ty environm ental practi ces that have a direct impact on their dail y
li ves. Issues of co ntinued contamin ati o n of the Merrimack River and
its watershed need to be taug ht. T here are dangers in eatin g fi sh from
the Merri mack Ri ver and its watershed even th o ug h they loo k fin e!
Rebecca Markey, an Environmental Co nsultant from th e MR WC meets
w ith a g roup of pee r leaders at the C MAA once to three times weekl y.
T he peer leaders, incl ud ing Samoeun Sok, Ya Uy, Roath Ven, So phan
Sok, Salin Nuth, C han Pen, Peuo T uy and Robin Douangchack are
hi gh schoo l stu dents chosen to represent thei r communi ty fo r the
outstand ing exampl e they prov ide. They, along w ith Buntha Path , a
rep resentati ve from the CMAA and emp loyee of the Watershed, meet
with Rebecca to increase their understand ing of local co mmunity invo lvement w ith g lo bal ram ifi catio ns. T he course of study invo lves
river and watershed protecti on, waste water treat ment, safe household cleane rs, tree planting, organic gardening and w ildli fe protecti o n. T hu s fa r, th e peer leaders and environmental educators have
planted three large o rn amenta l trees, ten ro se bushes and approx imately th irty pine seedlin gs at the temple in North Chelmsfo rd. T he
seed lings were planted to provi de a screen and prevent so il eros ion o n
th e hill side.
Ted Diers, the Co un cil s Co mmuni ty Watershed Program Coordinator wants to teach the Cambodi an community how to become
better stewards of the river, enjoy a greater qu ality o f li fe and protect
themselves, as we ll as their enviro nm ent, from possible health ri sks.
A survey w ill be compiled later thi s year to determine the level
of enviro nmental knowledge o f the Cambodi an co mmunity in Lowe ll.
If yo u are asked lo participate, please respo nd positi ve ly, as the result s w ill foc us o n areas for future work .
Would you like g reater civic in vo lvement w ithin the c ity o f
Lowe ll? T hen w hat better way than th ro ug h a creati ve environmental
approach! We can a ll bene fi t fro m so und ecological principals. T he
CMAA and th e MRW C are we ll o n their way !

CMAA'S COMMEMORATIVE EDITION
OCTOBER 1999
VISION STATEMENT
The CMAA envisions a unified, self-sufficient, economically strong, educated and
empowered Cambodian-American community, which cherishes Southeast Asian culture and values while embracing American mainstream cultures. The CMAA also
envisions itself as a resource center for Cambodian-Americans and other ethnic
minorities throughout the United States for generations to come.
MISSION STATEMENT
The CMAA is dedicated to improving the quality of life of the Cambodian-American community
of Greater Lowell and other ethnic minorities through educational, cultural, social, community
and economic development efforts.
HISTORY AND FUTURE PLANS
In late 1979, the first Cambodian families arrived in
Lowell, resettling in a city where there is affordable housing and plentiful manufacturing jobs. Lowell promised a
new life to these refugees fleeing the horrors and deprivations of war in Southeast Asia. In 1984, a group of
Cambodian community leaders formed the Cambodian
Mutual Assistance Association (CMAA) to ensure that
Lowell's growing population of Cambodian refugees
were assisted with housing, English classes, social and
cultural adjustment, and employment training and placement. As the community changed and grew to include
Laotians and Vietnamese, and the needs of the community evolved, CMAA evolved to serve those needs, today providing over a dozen of educational, employment,
health, environmental, economic development, citizenship and naturalization, family support, and cultural enrichment programs. CMAA offers the only comprehensive social services to linguistic minorities in Greater
Lowell area, serving not only Cambodian, Southeast
Asians, but also Latinos and others. The earlier CMAA
mission is to help individuals and families to achieve selfsufficiency in their new country, while at the same time
trying to promote their rich tradition and cultural aware-

CMAA'S COMMEMORATIVE EDITION
OCTOBER 1999
A Message from the Executive Director
Dear Friends and Fellow Cambodians:
October 29-30, 1999 will be memorable days for the Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association of
Greater Lowell, Inc. (CMAA) as we the board, staff, as well as community members celebrate our
fifteen years of existence as providers of social services for the population of Lowell, Massachusetts.
The theme "Reflecting and celebrating our past 15 years of success and preparing our community for a better
future" is perfectly suitable for such a special occasion for the agency in its fifteen years of service to Lowell's
Cambodian-American community. The CMAA has sponsored numerous special events throughout the years including the Cambodian New Year celebrations, which take place in mid-April. The CMAA initiated and hosted the first
and second annual Southeast Asian Water Festival, an event that helped the city of Lowell to win the "All-America
City" designation from the National Civic League in late June 1999.
This special event will commemorate and honor the accomplishments of many Cambodian community leaders, board
and staff members, community members, mainstream officials, representatives of funding agencies, foundations, and
corporations who have significantly contributed to the CMAA's growth and progress thus far. For the CMAA to
survive these 15 years of challenges and to be able to attest to the joy of serving the many hundreds and thousands
of members, it is indeed a great time for us all to celebrate this occasion.
Yes, this is the moment we all have been waiting for. Like the Noble Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel said: "Life is not
a compilation of years upon years, but rather a collection of moments upon moments." For those of us who have
been planning this 15 th Anniversary Celebration and who want so much to make it go perfectly, this event will present
a threefold effect. There is the moment to look forward to, the moment to enjoy and, thereafter, the chance to reflect
glowingly on moments past.
Therefore, and on behalf of the CMAA's Board of Directors and staff members, we would like to extend our invitation to you, friends and community members, to join us at our 15th Anniversary.
Once again, we would like to thank you very much for your continued effort in helping the CMAA grow over the
past fifteen years. We look forward to working together to further improve the quality of life of the CambodianAmerican community of Greater Lowell, as well as the Lowell's community as a whole. We could not have possibly
accomplished our tasks without your help!
Sincerely yours,
Samkhann Khoeun
Executive Director

ness within the multi-cultural society-America!
Today, Lowell is home to the second largest population of Cambodians in the United States. The largest one is in Long
Beach, California. According to the 1990 U.S. Census, over 23,500 Southeast Asians reside in Lowell: 18,500 Cambodians; 3,500 Laotians; and 1,500 Vietnamese. However, the real numbers of are estimated to be from 30,000 to 35,000,
representing one-third of the entire City of Lowell's population.
CMAA's Board of Directors, comprised of community representatives and professionals, provides the organization
with an awareness of needs, problems, and changes faced by Cambodian and Southeast Asian refugees and immigrants. In addition, the multi-cultural staff would use their knowledge and experiences to develop flexible and responsive programs. Because of this, CMAA is able to assist hundreds of Cambodians and Southeast Asians refugees and
immigrants to reach their full societal and economic potential. CMAA currently manages an annual budget of over
three millions dollars and employs some 35 staff members to provide programs and services which serve about 2,500
people annually.
Building Development: The CMAA is also working on its building development project, called "The Lowell Trade
Center"-a multiuse facility serving Southeast Asian businesses, culture, and community. The Lowell Trade Center
will enhance the thriving South Business District and culminate the achievements of Lowell's Southeast Asian residents, which comprise about 30 percent of the City's population. Now finalizing development plans, the CMAA is
forging a partnership between private and public interests to carry out this economic development project. This development project is guided by a simple philosophy: The CMAA considers itself to be the caretaker of a gift given to the
entire Cambodian community. With due regard for the trust which has been placed in us by the Courier Corp. and by
the Cambodian community to use this gift wisely and for the benefit of the entire community, the CMAA will develop
the building into a center for the Cambodian community, with tenants selected not only on the basis of profitability, but
also based on their contribution to the education, health, well-being and empowerment of the Cambodian community of
Lowell. At the end of the building development, 165 Jackson Street should be fully occupied by tenants who offer a
range of services needed by the community. The CMAA should derive enough rental income from the project to
ensure that it can implement or sustain socially desirable programs for which no private or government funding is
available.

�How the CMAA Changed My Life
By Kamsort Mao
Worker for the Youth Services Program at the CMAA
I lived in the Highlands between 1990-1992. I've always been a "little punk". I didn't listen to anyone.
My parents never had enough money to buy me my favorite sneakers that cost $100 dollars. So, I got involved
with "hangin" with the older guys. They are gang members who I thought were cool because they had money,
girls, and respect. They jumped me into the gang. They taught me how to smoke weed, drink 40's, and snatch
necklaces from people for money. Everyday, I wore new clothes.
In school (the Daley,) the only class that I had problems with was English, because I hated to read. The
other classes I managed to pass because they were easy. Until one day when the English teacher suspended me
because I swore at him. He said that I smiled at him when he was yelling at the class. While I was suspended I
started to do more violent activities. I would walk to school just to beat someone up. I can remember when my
dad and my enemies would whip me.
One night I got handcuffed by the cops, but was never turned in. Instead, I was put face down on the
ground. I was kicked and harassed. I didn't like it when the officer used profanity and tried to search me. My
mom lectured me about how she brought me up, and how she fled the killing fields.
When I was born, everyone thought that I had died, because I was laying in a refugee hospital for about a
week. My mom cried for me to have a second chance. I have two scars on my neck to prove it. The reason I
was in a coma was because during the escape my mom had to put wine on my tongue for me to go to sleep, so
that the Khmer Rouge wouldn't catch her in the jungle.
In 1994, I was in 8th grade; I was looking for a change. All my boys went to the CMAA when it was
located on Perry Street. There was a van that picked us up to go play basketball. I talked a lot to guest speakers
that had been gang members and had been
locked up. Iwas willing to throw away my
bad habits and get involved with school and
sports. I had a dream that there was going to
be a Cambodian NBA player. Even when
I'm doing positive things, I still have doubts
about safety. My old "Klick" and enemies are
still looking for me.
So my family moved to Pawtucketville
where white people live. I wouldn't go to
Lowell High because I was too scared. But
this time, all the people that hated me were all
locked up. Most of them didn't go to school.
Some got married and worked under the table.
After I graduated from Lowell High I looked at
the CMAA. It's at a new place; there are more youth and more activities. I looked at this and it reminded me,
that's how I was when I was 13 yrs old. Lost, and wondering what was going to happen to me now, I succeeded
by doing what I did everyday. I see kids now; they're all hard headed just like I was before. I want to tell them
that they would be like my old friends if they kept that attitude.
My work here at the CMAA in youth services really plays a big change in communication. I have an
advantage in talking to the youth. My age is not too far from theirs. I can relate to them some of the experiences
that they are going through. I can't be accepted as a role model because I haven't achieved any goals yet. I'm
still going to school (college) trying to get a degree in health. I'm hoping one day I' 11 be a health teacher, or a
18

coach. But the thing that motivated me the most was when I looked at the world on the television, in books, and
magazines. I asked the world where the Cambodian minority, representing out culture, sports, politics and
entertainment were. I am very happy now that the CMAA has programs like these. They weren't available
before. I am very honored to have people like
Samkhann, Lorraine, Arn-Chron Pond, Sayon
and Rithy Uong to service the Cambodian
Community. When I came to visit the CMAA,
I became interested in working with the youth.
I have a brother who is a client here (Yorn
Kimsan Mao.) I got involved with the Future
Star Summer Camp Program that served more
than 100 kids. The program used sports to
help prevent young potential from being
recruited in to gangs.
There are people out there in the world
that love to have the opportunity that our youth
have. When I was caught up in gang activities
no one was there to pull me away before it
happened. I think kids should focus on school more and get involved more with sports activities, and join a
program that helps them go to college. I have people coming up to me and telling me that they don't know what
to do with their lives. That's why I'm here at the CMAA serving the youth.

CMAA'S COMMEMORATIVE EDITION
OCTOBER 1999
The C.M.A.A: ON THE MOVE
Over the past two years, the Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association of Greater Lowell , Inc. has
grown phenomenally. The Courier Corporation generously donated its former headquarters building,
located at 165 Jackson Street, Lowell, Massachusetts to the CMAA. This building, with over 90,000
square feet of floor space on three floors, is valued at close to one million dollars. We have a vision of
developing this historic mill building into a "one stop" center for Lowell's Cambodian community, offering social services, professional offices, retail shops, a restaurant and a function hall. The CMAA has
made great strides towards making this vision a reality.
With the recent addition of the Community Service Employment Program and the Refugee Self-Sufficiency Program, the CMAA has more than doubled its annual budget to over two million dollars.
ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE OF THE C.M.A.A.
The Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association of Greater Lowell , Inc. is a nonprofit social service
agency dedicated to the design and implementation of programs to improve the quality of life for the
Cambodian-American community of Greater Lowell, which numbers approximately 30,000 people.
A fifteen member Board of Directors governs the CMAA. All of the members of the Board of Directors
are elected directly by members of the Cambodian community at the CMAA's annual meeting. The
"owners" of the CMAA are the Cambodian community itself. All persons who register as members of
the CMAA are entitled to vote. Membership in the CMAA is open to anyone interested in the welfare
of the Cambodian community of Greater Lowell. There are no dues or membership fees of any kind
for members, so that all members of the community
can participate in the affairs of the Association.

CMAA'S COMMEMORATIVE EDITION
OCTOBER 1999
aMessage from t~e President
Fifteen years ago, many Cambodian refugees including Mr. Sunly Sokh, Mr. Socheath Van, Mr.
Chitravuth Hui and Mr. Hom Hun, formed the Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association of Greater
Lowell, Inc., to help their fellow Cambodians adjust to life in America. They had no money, one office
in the International Institute's offices, and many people who needed their help. Today, the CMAA has a
staff of over 30 people, an annual budget well over two million dollars, and a historic 90,000 square
foot building which is being developed into a one stop cent~r that will be an asset for the whole Cambodian community of Lowell. The road from the office on High Street to the building on Jackson Street
has been a long one, and we have overcome many obstacles to get where we are today. We owe a
great debt to the many people who have worked long and hard to get us where we are today. This
group includes the many community members who have served on the CMAA's Board of Directors,
who worked long hours with no pay to give the organization direction. It includes staff members who
worked long hours to serve their clients. It includes many funders, public officials, and others, both
Cambodian and American, who came forward to help us with our work.
We have made a real difference in the lives of many members of our community. Many people are
working at jobs they found with the help of the CMAA's employment programs. Many young people
have been helped to reject a life of hopelessness and gang involvement, and to choose a life of productive and healthy activities. Many of our older community members have been taken care of by the
Elderly Outreach program. We have helped people become citizens, to get their GED diploma, to
better their lives. Thousands of Cambodian people in Lowell can say that their lives are better because
the CMAA was there.
While we have much to be proud of, there is still much
to do. There are still many Cambodians living in
poverty. There are still Cambodian youth in gangs.
There are still many who have not become citizens, who
are shut out of the political process. During this year,
the Board of Directors and the staff of the CMAA have
devoted a great deal of time and effort to producing a
CMAA Lowell All-American delegation, June 1999
strategic plan to guide us through the next five years.
Through this plan, we will build the CMAA into a
stronger, more effective organization. We will make a difference in many more lives. We will make our
vision of a unified, self-sufficient, economically strong, educated and empowered Cambodian-American
community which cherishes our traditional culture and values while embracing American cultures a
reality.
This success will be a success not of a small group, but of an entire community. The CMAA is truly a
mutual assistance association, in which we all help each other. All members of Lowell's Cambodian
community have a share of the credit for this work. We have all achieved this success together. I hope
that we will all continue to work together, to achieve the goals we have set for ourselves.

�Reflecting on the CMAA's Work:
Its Existence and Services...
By Samkhann Khoeun, Executive Director
Vision:
The CMAA envisions a unified, self-sufficient, economically strong,
educated and empowered Cambodian-American community which
cherishes our traditional culture and values while embracing American
cultures. The CMAA also envisions itself as a resource center for
Cambodian-Americans and other ethnic minorities throughout the
United States for generations to come.
Mission:
The CMAA is dedicated to improving the quality of life of the
Cambodian-American community of Greater Lowell and other
ethnic minorities through educational, cultural, social, community
and economic development efforts.
July 20, 1999 marks the 15th Anniversary for the Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association (CMAA) of Greater
Lowell, Incorporation in Massachusetts. At the same time, it also marks the 19th year that the Cambodian American
community has lived in Lowell. Most Cambodians who came to Lowell escaped from the world's worst genocide,
the Khmer Rouge regime (April 17, 1975- 1979) and the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia in early 1979.
''There is no other refugee who came to America with the fewest possessions like the Cambodians," according to the
studies of the Federal Office of Refugee Resettlement. During draconian Khmer Rouge regime, the Cambodian
population were entirely stripped of their cultural milieu: intellect, religion, education, and family values. They were
forced to witness senseless killings of their family members from starvation, diseases, forced labor, massive destruction of their cultural, educational center and marketplaces. Followed by lengthy stays in overcrowded refugee camps,
the Cambodian refugees often received the cruelest treatment. This included beatings, shootings, rapes, and robberies by the drunken Thai soldiers who were hired by the UNHCR (United Nations High Commission to Refugees) to
protect them. The endless endurance of war-torn activities, extreme hardships, and the lack offamiliarity with the
American culture when they first settled further exacerbated the syndrome known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
(PTSD ). There has not been any program established to address these issues nearly twenty years after their resettlement in Lowell, Massachusetts. Yet, the Cambodians refuse to give up their dreams and hopes of rebuilding a new
life again here in America.
In the early 1980's, many of them came together to build their first cultural institution called Watt Khmer, or Khmer
temple. Later on, and with much support from non-Cambodian individuals and organizations alike, they came together again in 1984 to establish the CMAA. Cambodian refugees came to Lowell because there were plenty of
manufacturing jobs-jobs that required little English skills, affordable housing, and of course, Lowell has always
been a gateway city for immigrants. The federal office of Refugee Resettlement's philosophy of"Mutual Assistance
Association" (MAA) places emphasis on resettling large refugee families together in American urban and industrial
cities so that they can also establish some sort of support mechanism to help one another. Today, a lot of other ethnic

refugee groups have formed their ethnic mutual assistance associations across America. These groups are also referred to as Community Based Organization (CBO), because they have integrated slowly into
communities and take part in many community actions with many mainstream service agencies such as the
YWCA, YMCA, religious congregations, community action agencies, and community development agencies, just to
nameafew.
In the early years, the CMAA focussed on immediate needs such as helping people with housing, enrolling children in
public school, providing English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, employment services, translation, cultural and
social adjustment to their new community. Today, the CMAA provides comprehensive programs and services serving not only Cambodians, but also Laotian, Vietnamese, Latinos as well as other minority groups in the Greater
Lowell area. More than 2,500 people are served annually by the CMAA.
The CMAA has come a long way, from its first small office at the National Institute of Lowell on 79 High Street,
financial assistance of $5,000 from the Massachusetts Office for Refugees and Immigrants, to its former offices
located at 125 Perry Street in Lowell. With funding coming from federal, state, municipal foundations and corporations, the CMAA today has an annual budget of nearly three million dollars and over 30 staff members.
Today, there is so much to be proud of. Over the past two years, the CMAA has grown phenomenally. The Courier
Corporation generously donated its former headquarters building, located at 165 Jackson Street, Lowell, Massachusetts to the CMAA. This building, with over 90,000 square feet of floor space on three floors, is valued at close
to one million dollars. The CMAA envisions the development of this historic mill building into a "one stop" center for
Lowell's Cambodian community, offering social services, professional offices, retail shops, a restaurant and a function hall. The CMAA has made great strides towards making this vision a reality.

�Lowell'~ Cambodian-American Community
Lowell experienced a 117% increase in its foreign-born populations between 1980 and 1990. Much of this increase
was due to the large numbers of Southeast Asian and Latino families who were attracted to resettling in a multi-ethnic
city with a promise of economic opportunity.
Today, Lowell, Massachusetts is home to the second largest population of Cambodian refugees in the United States.
According to the 1990 U.S. Census, the Southeast Asian population of Lowell totals 23,500, broken down as:
18,500 Cambodians, 3,500 Laotians and 1,500 Vietnamese. It is believed that these groups were under-counted
due to linguistic and cultural barriers. It is also believed that those figures have increased significantly in the past 9
years. The CMAA currently estimates that there are approximately 30,000 Cambodian refugees living in Lowell and
its immediate suburbs.
The census information shows that the Southeast Asian population of Lowell faces severe economic difficulties.
Twenty-six (26%) percent of Cambodian families in Lowell are headed by a single female. The average size of
Cambodian families in Lowell is 5 .03 persons. Only 46% of Cambodian males and 22.6% of Cambodian females
over age 25 have completed high school. The average per capita income for Lowell's Cambodian population is
$6,250.00, and 42.6% of Lowell's Cambodian population lives below the established poverty level. Only 46% of
Lowell's Cambodian people are in the workforce, in contrastto the national average of 65 % . Nationwide, the 1990
census showed 247,400 Cambodians in the United States, including 140,000 children or adolescents. Further,
72,000 Cambodian refugee adults have had less than an elementary school education, and are able to communicate
only marginally in English.
These economic difficulties are compounded by the trauma that the Cambodian refugees have suffered. Lowell's
Cambodian refugees are survivors of a series of traumatic events, beginning with a civil war that lasted from 1970 to
1975. A communist victory in the civil war resulted in the murderous Khmer Rouge regime of 1975 to 1979, during
which approximately two million Cambodians were killed outright or died from forced labor, starvation and untreated
disease. This period of intense suffering ended with the invasion of Cambodia by Vietnam in 1979, and the ravages
of another war. Those fortunate enough to escape Cambodia when the Vietnamese invaded then endured years of
life in overcrowded refugee camps, before coming to the United States. Lowell's Cambodian Americans are still
feeling the cumulative effects of this series of traumatic events today. Khmer Health Advocates, based in Hartford
Connecticut, estimate that 60% of Cambodian Americans suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. A doctoral
candidate at the Harvard School of Public Health studied the rate of severe depression among Cambodian Americans living in Lynn, Massachusetts. The depression rate for Cambodians was ten times the national average.
