�age of foster homes we have. And
children are places in a good foster
home, which in fact didn't allow us
to meet any of the above factors.
he Department of Social Ser
vices provides services to families and children. The mission at DSS
is to support and strengthen families,
keeping families together whenever
possible. DSS provides a full range
of family support services, including
counseling, day care, and parent
aides. When families can not provide the necessary care and protection for their own children, DSS intervenes to ensure children's safety.

intervenes in order to protect the
child. If a child needs to leave their
families home, DSS will first attempt

is a daily occurrence in our office. If you were to walk through
our office lobby on any given day you
might see the older children sitting
there. Then you might wonder why
they have all sorts of bags and luggage surrounding them. These are
the teenagers waiting to be placed.
These teenagers might sit all day
wondering where they will sleep that
night. They might have just had a
tough time in court, may be the court
ordered them into a foster home,
they have no idea where they will
end up. An even tougher situation is
that we might only be able to get them
a foster home for one night on an
emergency basis. This means they

�Cambodian Women
Speak: an interview
with Sara Im and
Chantha Bin.
Cath pierSath and Joachim
Nickerson
C ara Im,
Ul rather
,_ res e rv ed
and soft
spoken but
articulate
woman,
came out of
the ThaiCambodian
border Khao-I-Dang Refugee
Camp. She arrived in the United
States September 1981. She initially lived in Connecticut and
moved to Lowell after a few years
there. She came to the U.S. by herself, and later brought her mother
and three brothers to this country.
She has a college degree in Mathematics and Business Management.
Now, she is working with the Cambodian American League ofLowell
(CALL) as its program coordinator. The C.A.L.L. is an organization that focuses on economic development in the Southeast Asian
community in Lowell. They provide
small business training, help people
understand how to acquire loans to
achieve their dream of buying a
home and become literate in the
business world.
Sara is one Cambodian women
who has achieved success. When
asked to define "success" she spoke
of having a balance in various areas
oflife. This includes·a family, a stable
job for financial security and a moral
and spiritual responsibility towards
the community in which you live. To
achieve success, she also adds, one
has to be very self-detem1ined and
have a desire to learn and grow.
One must want to make a difference not only in one's own life, but
in the lives of other people and be
able to see oneself as a contributing
memberofsociety. Importantly, one
must do what one loves in order to
achieve a certain self-sufficiency and
satisfaction.
In society, some social, economic and political issues are unique
only to women. They have to balance family and work and also their
roles in society. A lot of the issues
are difficult, and Sara has identified
several relating to her own life. Being a woman and an immigrant in
this country has expanded her horizons and perspective, but not without struggles. She had to deal with
cultural and language barriers, which
many Cambodian women are still
struggling with today. Many Cambodian women in America are not
as integrated into the mainstream
American culture as Sara has. A lot
ofthe Cambodian women in Lowell
are experiencing post traumatic
stress from the war and the Khmer
Rouge years. They have not recuperated like Sara and thus it is
harder for them to provide their children with any positive wisdom to
guide them. Therefore, it is more
difficult for them to identify and
achieve their own personal goals.
Although Sara is fluent in English
and Khmer, she still feels that it is
more challenging to realize her goals
than it would for a native English
speaker.
Sara has always been a very
good role model for young women.
Her conm1itrnent to the community
and her long tem1 involvement demonstrate her ability to face challenges. Every year she assists
CALL in organizing a beauty pageant which focuses on helping young
women build self-esteem and establish roots and cultural identity. It
helps young women identify and
realize personal goals in addition to
strengthening the family.
Sara is also participating in the
Lowell Career Beginning Planning
Team to provide youth with mentors who could assist them in clarifying their future career and goals.
When asked what advice she would
give to young women, she said they
should identify a role model or mentor who they like, and follow his or
her example in order to achieve their
own success. Success includes the
motivation to learn, grow and experience new challenges.
Sara is always looking for learning opportunities. Recently, she
completed an Economic Development Leadership Training provided
by CIRCLE (Center for Immigrant,
Refugee Community Leadership
Empowerment).
When asked, with her knowledge and skill, if she wants to go
back to Can1bodia to help, she said
that she doesn't have enough
strength to go there and work.
However, she will visit family. Her
mission is to help people here in the
United States since there is a great
need especially among the Cambodian people. "Cambodians abroad
must be strong and unified if they
want to help rebuild Cambodia from
its war torn history," she said.
While a lot of Cambodian men
occupy themselves with the politics
of Cambodia, Sara keeps herself

info1rned without getting involved in
the political quagmire. She is an
Ame1
ican citizen, and she is well infom1ed about pol itical issues both
in America and in Cambodia. She
votes in every election.
Sara reflected on the role older
Cambodian women play. She
thinks of her mother who had little
education, but who helped her become strong and detem1ined as an
individual. Her mother has been a
positive role model by being a good
example. Sara appreciates her
mother's wisdom and simplicity in
her ways of resolving life's day to
day problems. Her mother draws
thedailywisdom of life fromherown
experience. In many ways, Sara
appreciates the older people because of their life experiences.
"Older people - a lot of them are
wise," she said.
Sara
talked
about
intergenerational relationships. She
feels that teenagers who grow up in
America have a harder time dealing
with cross-cultural issues. They
have to figure out where they belong and where they are in American society. " It is very hard for them
to balance two different cultures."
The yow1ger generation is the future
of the Cambodian American community. The obstacles they are facing now don't necessarily weaken
them, but probably will strengthen
them since they have gone through
the struggles and appreciate what
they have been through. " I have to
keep reminding myself all the time
about where I came from and how
1survived the Khmer Rouge."
As adults, we have to be positive role models and provide them
with guidance and support to face
the challenges they deal with in li fe
and prepare·them for the future.
One does not have to have a college degree to be a posi ti ve role
model. "My mother never had a
college education, but she teaches
me ways to save money, life management skills and provides me with
practical solutions to solve confhcts."
The Cambodian community in
Lowell has suffered a great deal
from a bad reputation due to gang
violence and intergenerational conflicts which evolves from a lack of
basic skills to identify and resolve
issues. "This is why we need to
work extra, extra hard to recuperate from this gang image."
Sara, in her integrity, looks at life
in a practical sense just as her
mother taught her. This includes
basic skills to deal with day to day
living and problem solving. As a
positive role model, this is what she
would like to give to other young
women.
Chantha Bin and Her
Journey
t the
age
of nine,
Chantha
Bin was
separated
from her
family by
theKhmer
Rou ge
and put
into
a
chi ldren's
camp. The war created many orphans due to land mines , starvation'
relocation and mass killing. When
A
the Vietnamese occupied Cambodia in 1979 she fl ed with other
people and was befri ended by an
old lady who she called "grandmother". They both became very
i11 and were in comas and the old
woman's fanlily dug two graves. At
this point she had a drean1 of a man
in white who said there is room for
only one. They had to make the
choice as to which one stayed. The
old woman had trouble making a
decision and the man suggested that
she go because she was old and had
lived her life whereas Chantha was
young and had a lot of years ahead
of her. She awoke, the old woman
had been buried and the fan1ily was
ready to put Chantha in the grave
as well.
Chantha came to the United
States in 1982 as an unaccompanied minor and lived in Amherst
MA with American foster parents.
Cambodian and other unaccomparued refugee minors were sponsored
by Lutheran Child and Fan1ily Services who recruited foster homes.
She had two years of education in a
refugee camp, Sakeo I and II, before coming to Am erica. Her foster father was a professor at the
University of Massachusetts,
Amherst; her foster mother was a
secretary. When asked why she
had succeeded when others hadn't,
she said that she had support from
other nunors who were mostly male
but who supported and encouraged
her and did not see her as a sex
obj ect. She lived in a very disciplined environment with her foster
parents which was similar to how
Can1bodian parents raise their children. She finished high school and
went to college. While in college

she began to experience post-traumatic stress disorder syndrome and
lost a great deal ofweight; she was
only 79 pounds. Her foster mother
took her to various doctors who
were unable to diagnose the problem. She failed college and was
expelled because her grade point
average fell.
At this point Chantha got a job
helping special needs children, and
it turned her life around. She began
to work with a child who she calls
Benjamin who had cerebral palsy,
and he didn't like to be touched or
fed. This boy was unable to feed
himselfand do other basic skills such
as going to the bathroom. He was
unable to take care of himself and
through working with Benjamin and
others, she began to look at her own
life. She realized that she had abilities which these children didn't and
she.began to ask herself why she
was so sad. She began to see her
abilities in a positive way. She became proactive, and one day her
relationship with this boy changed
her life. She decided to hug him
and tell him that she was there for
him. Initially she communicated with
him by singing. It took time, but he
did come around and began to feed
himselfand allowed her to become
emotionally close to him.
Chantha was transformed by the
experience of Benjamin and was
able to go back to college and
graduate with a degree in early childhood development. She had to get
beyond her own suffering to reach
somebody else and then both
people grow.

a
Culture and Cambodian Youth
Chath pierSath
he hip hop culture, which is
often viewed as black culture,
has found its way to the
hearts of Cambodian youth. In raps,
these Cambodian youth, gangsta
wannabes are finding a new sense
of self in black street life - as portrayed in rap music. Rap is the sermon of the street and youth against
conventionality and cultural restriction.
U
Beyond the boundaries and restrictions of their own culture, Cambodian youth who grow up in
America are moving fluidly between
other cultures, borrowing from whoever they can relate to. Often times,
what they borrow is seldom viewed
as something good. What they do
and express in their lifestyle, a lot of
the time, raise eye brows and questions about who they are and what
they are all about. Parents, in particular, are scared and skeptical about
the whole thing, when they hear their
c hildren listen to rap music and see
them wearing baggy clothes. Some
boys even pierced their cars, which
their fathe rs would never do since
gender roles are ti g htl y defined
within their cultural context. Here,
in America, anything goes. Everybody is free to do whatever he or
she wishes. Indi vidual freedom is
loudly being expressed and valued.
Cambodian parents who are less
integrated into the American cultural
mainstream arc lost. Some can' t understand why their children have chosen to listen to this obnoxious. loud
and in-your face form o f music and
wear such unattrac tiv e baggy
clothes, hang out on the street and
dance as though they are pointing fingers at each other, trying to pick a
fight. What they are doing is actually their way of rebelling against
their parents and any notion of cultural establishment. The in-your face
lyrics that they gyrate to give them
an identity, a way of relating to the
world and their peers. These in-your
face lyrics often describe and sometimes glorify violence, misogyny, fast
living, drinking and drugging. Some
lyrics are just senseless, repetition of
screams and " I do you good baby,"
most of which you don' t understand.
Parents are not so much to blame
for all of this. MTV and other medians of cultural infiltration and media
are constantly telling these youth how
to behave, act and dress. Wearing a
baseball cap sideways is cool and it
signifies a certain sign of group identi ty. Baggy jeans and cloddy athletic shoes are trendy. The music
video stars are wearing them. The
girls soaked their lips mud red. They
project their figures by wearing bell
bottom pants and tight shirts brought
back from the 60s. They dance slow
dances with boys before they even
married. Young girls as young as
twelve are learning the arts of flirting.
Some parents are overwhelmed,
fearful and afraid of what their children are turning into. They think their
children are cultural monsters who
are experiencing some cultural difficulties, trying to figure out where they
belong, what they believe and why
they are put on this earth, and for
what purpose. Maybe they' re just
expressing the spirit of being young
in this free for all nation, America.
One night, at a non-smoking and
non-alcohol fundraising party that the
CMAA peer leaders put on at Roger
School, I saw several young boys as
young as twelve smoking Marlboro
cigarettes. The::-e were a lot of them
there. They paid five dollars to get
in. Those who smoked weren't allowed to take their cigarettes and
lighters in . At the beginning, a few
danced, and even toward the end,
only half of those who were there
danced. The rest sat and watched.
That was their night out of the house.
Those who danced pumped their
arn1s front to back. Their legs stayed
in rhythm, propelling their short wiry
frame forward almost airborne. This
boy and his gang danced as if they
were swimming through time. Easy.
Smooth. Cool. Some of them wore
a bandanna over the ir heads. A
young man had a nose ring and one
of his pant legs rolled up w hich
docsn ' t make sense to me. T hey
looked nothing like the innocent,
c harming, Angkorian faced Khmer
children I know, and if! was in their
parents ' shoes, I would probably be
very shocked to discover what I had
seen. At the same time, how everyone can not j udge by external appearances because there can be
gentle spirits beneath the facade. I
understand them because I also grew
up in this country and realize the issue of trying to balance two cultures
is harder for these young people.

�American Tobacco Companies Are Cashing In On
Chath pierSat/,
Cambodia's Poor
n Cambodia, there are two
landmines for every child and
adult. The case of ITTV/ AIDS
is on the rise. The 70% forest covered land has been reduced to 40%
in just three years. Corruption is a
way oflife among government officials. With an increase in bars and
nightclubs comes an increase in HIV/
AIDS cases, alcoholism and domestic violence. To top this, there's the
problem of smoking and American
Tobacco Companies cashing in on
Cambodia's poor.
Newport, Camel and Marlboro
cigarettes, which are most favored
by young people in the United States,
are also very popular among Cambodian youth in Cambodia because
they come from America. Marlboro
is widely advertised. Groups of
Marlboro girls can be seen all over
the city streets dressed in Marlboro
colors, red and white, giving men free
cigarettes.
Most ofthese girls are high school
age students. There are not many
jobs for young girls in Cambodia.
Beside prostitution, they sell beers
and cigarettes and work long hours
in restaurants for a very low wage.
"Here,tryone," Iwasonceurged
by a girl. "It's Marlboro smooth,
U
freshest taste, from America."
There are hundreds of foreign
cigarettes in Cambodia. One cannot
list them all. There's one brand,
"Angkor," which one would think is
an indigenous product, but on the label, it says that the tobacco is from
the United States of America.
Each company has its own sales
pitch. However, everyone of them
uses young girls to sell their product.
They dress in the colors on the cigarette pack. The beer companies
make them wear uniforms that represent the country where the beers
come from. Some are dressed like
they were in a beauty pageant, wearing evening gowns. They wear
sashes such as "Miss Tiger Beer"
or "Miss Marlboro."
Cigarette brands like Lucky
Strike, Marlboro, Newport, 555 and
the French version of Alan Delon
take over the airwaves and television ads. They pay beautiful actors
to endorse it. "It's smooth and
fresh," says one actor as he takes in
the smoke and blows it back out of
his nostrils as though he's Humphrey
Bogart (who by the way died of cancer).
In the United States, while
Americans are trying to kick their

a
CMAA peer leaders' fundraising
party one Saturday night, out of the
40 or 50 young men who smoked, all
smoked Marlboro, a cigarette with a
very high content of carcinogen and
chemicals to hook you up.
"According to a recent international report, smoking kills 3 million
people every year, and the annual toll
could reach IO million by 2020. So
far, most of tobacco's victims have
been men in developing countries, but
now, the report says, more women
in the West and men in developing
countries have begun to smoke.
However, while Westerners struggle
to kick the habit, tobacco companies
are casting about for - and finding
- new groups of people ready and
willing to light up" (from the World
Press Review, November, 1994,
"Smoking Wars").
In Cambodia alone, there's no
way of telling how many people
would die of lung or heart disease
and cancer caused by smoking.
Most men don't live that long. The
average life expectancy is between
45 and 50 years, and according to a
report by the World Health Magazine in 1995, chronic diseases like
lung cancer and heart disease are
generally uncommon because relatively few people survive to those
ages when such diseases become
manifest. In Cambodia, health data
and figures showing the patterns of
tobacco use are poor and unreliable.
Yet smoking is particularly risky in
Cambodia where populations are
anemic because it reduces their
blood's oxygen - carrying ability.
Very poor people often use tobacco

�West, are turning toward new markets in Cambodia and other Southeast Asian countries. In Laos, during the water festival's boat race, the
winner takes Marlboro home:
Marlboro money, Marlboro cap and
T-shirt, _even Marlboro trophy.
Marlboro billboards in Cambodia are
very visible in every social and traditional event. The handsome, good
old American cowboy on the billboard is seen urging people to smoke.
What people don't know is that the
man in the picture with a cigarette in
his mouth died oflung cancer. With
controls over nicotine and tar content, health warnings, and advertising a lot less stringent in Cambodia,
Marlboro is free to sell and enlarge
its billboards.
For a dollar (2500 riels), any Cambodian can purchase a pack of

as an appetite suppressant - a
cheap and accessible means of
warding off hunger pangs. The men
who drive cyclo and motortaxis, and
street children especially, use cigarette as well as alcohol to suppress
their appetite.
A country like Cambodia does not
have the financial ability to educate
people about the danger of smoking.
While health education messages
against smoking are widely disseminated in developed countries, they are
nowhere to be found in Cambodia.
Television, radio and newspaper outreach are impossible since they have
all been taken over by tobacco companies who have money to pay for
airtime.
The international tobacco companies, fearful ofdeclining profits in the
Marlboro, Camel or 555 and a variety of other brands of international
and local tobacco addictives. There
are hundreds of them, those tobacco
companies who have money are the
most prominent. Like Marlboro, it
can afford to pay young female crusaders to go around in their colors to
advocate its smooth, American cigarette taste.
In Cambodia close to 90% of
men smoke, and it's a socially accepted behavior while cigarette companies exploit this practice to their
own material benefit. By destroying
the health and well being of Cambodian males, tobacco companies continue to become wealthy. This is happening all over the world with cigarette companies capitalizing on vulnerable populations.

conference hall to hold large conferences or conventions as well as
to do training workshops. Some
had asked for a kitchen and a banquet room to be built, which can
also be rented out to host wedding
parties or special social and cultural
as well as fundraising events. Others are looking to expand daycare,
classroom sizes, have a dance studio for the children to learn and practice their cultural and traditional
music, dances and theater. The
80,000 square feet Courier building is even big enough for a religious
retreat center where people can get
lessons on meditation, learn about
Buddhism, hold conferences on
peace and non-violence or any
other subject ofinterest. It can even
be a place to congregate and do religious ceremonies on New Year celebration or Pchurn Ben (Ancestors

dream is to build collaborations and
the kind of intercultural exchanges
that will be beneficial to all communities across racial and ethnic
lines. This Center can be a way for
Cambodians to learn about other
people and the political and social
system of their new home. It can
be a channel that attracts human
and financial resources to carry out
various community development
projects here in Lowell and in Cambodia. People outside the community can also use the Center as a
resource for their work. The exchange will be very beneficial to all
who are involved in our endeavor
to serve our community at large. To
find out how you can support this
project, please call Samkhann
Khoeun at CMAA 508-454-4286.
