CHELMSFORD, MA 01824 �20th Anniv ersa r y O c t ober 3 0 , 2004 CMAA LOWELL MAGAZINE l~Xl~(~U'flVE DIRl~(~'fOR'S MESSA«•E If we look back twenty or twe1 ;ty-five years ago, when we first arrived in the US from the long dangerous journey of escape from the Khmer Rouge's wrath, we all breathe a sigh of relief because we are in America now. We will not be tortured, starved, killed and separated from our loved ones again. At the same time, we felt some fear about our futures in this strange place. Many of us arrived with little but the clothes on our backs, with no knowledge of English language, American culture, no job skills and no one to point us in the right direction to get the help we needed to start our new lives. In 1984, the CMAA was founded. With its focus on Cambodians helping Cambodians, the CMAA was a place where Cambodians could go and receive help from people who spoke their language, understood their culture, and shared their experiences. The CMAA was a place where one could go for help with renting an apartment, for English classes, for training in job skills that would help one get a new job. Over the years, the CMAA had many successes. It ran a daycare that allowed parent~ to work, in households where tvvo incomes were needed to make ends meet. The CMAA offered English classes that allowed many newly-arrived Cambodians to communicate with their new neighbors; they helped with immigration issues that separated families; they ran classes and gave assistance for those seeking American citizenship; they provided family counseling for families under stress from the change in cultures; and they subsidized job placements that helped many get their first job. The CMAA ran one of the largest youth programs in Lowell, helping hundreds of youth to find their way between traditional Cambodian culture and the culture of their American classmates. The CMAA became one of tJ1e leading forces in the preservation of traditional Cambodian culture. The CMAA brought the \!\later Festival to the hanks of the Merrimack River. Today, this showcase for traditional music, dance and crafts draws tens of thousands of people from all over the globe. The youth program taught traditional dance and music to Cambodian youth to encourage the appreciation of tJ1eir rich heritage. Today, the Cambodian community in Lowell boasts many successful businesses and professional otfices. A large number of Cambodians have purchased their own homes and are enjoying successful careers. Cambodian parents are now attending their children's college graduations . Many of these individual successes stem from the efforts of the CMAA. All of these successes come from the sacrifices of the staff of the CMAA who worked long hours for less pay than many of their colleagues at other agencies. \Vhen finances were tight, many staff members did not get paid on time. The dedication of these staff members is an example for all of us. Our work is not done. \Ve face many challenges, especially after the 9/ 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center Towers that created many negative sentiments towards immigrants and a floundering economy. These situations made it more ditlicult for us to achieve our goals. Nevertheless, the Board of Directors and staff are poised to overcome all obstacles in order to realize the CMAA's mission. We are focusing on our tasks of developing a strategic plan, growing our programs, investing in our board and staff developments, developing leaders within our community and within our youth, and working with our partners to complete of the development of the 90,000 square foot historic mill building donated by Courier Corp. to the CMAA. I am very optimistic about the success of our community and of our organization. Sincerely, Congratulations from the G rea te r Lowell Chamber of Commerce on your 20 yea rs of success. Vongsaranak Ros Executive Director Greater Lowell Chamber of Commerce 144 Merrimack St. Suite 203 Lowell, MA 01852 Website: www.glcc.biz 5 �Dear Friends and Supporters, It gives me great pleasure to warmly welcome you to the Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association (CMAA) of Greater Lowell's 20 th Annual Celebration. Over the past 20 years, the Southeast Asian community has made great strides in the areas of business, economic development, education, social welfare, home ownership, as well as in the political arena. Today, we are proud that there is a Cambodian American City Councilor in Lowell, the Southeast Asian Water Festival is recognized nationally and internationally for its cultural contributions, and that the CMAA has made significant improvements in its infrastructure. Established in 1984 by Cambodian refugees in an effort to assist our community members to attain self-sufficiency, the CMAA has become the largest Southeast Asian social service agency in Greater Lowell. We are grateful to the Courier Company for their kind donation of the Hamilton Building that now houses the CMAA. In a collaborative effort with the Boston-based Architectural Heritage Foundation, our building will undergo major development. We are also enthusiastic to be a partner in the City of Lowell's JAM Plan. Federal , State and local budget cuts have deeply impacted the CMAA's programs. These cuts have come at a time when unemployment and poverty have increased in our community. Unfortunately, we have lost some valuable programs that would have been instrumental during these difficult times. Consequently, we had to continue providing essential services to our community with limited resources . The support of our funders, sponsors, partners and other key stakeholders enabled us to be a viable agency and to continue providing services. And therefore, we extend our sincere thanks to all who have supported the CMAA over the years. Most recently, through the auspices of the Jericho Road Project and Sherbrooke Partners, the Board of Directors of the CMAA conducted an organizational assessment. This important initiative served as a guide toward systematic changes within the agency. These changes began with diversification of the Board of Directors, financial accountability, and improving daily operations. Currently, the CMAA has board members with diverse and relevant expertise who are positioned to lead the agency. In addition, our Executive Director has been a great advocate for the CMAA and an essential liaison with the public and private sector. Most importantly, the staff has been a core asset throughout the years. We are proud of their energy and selfless dedication, which is the foundation of the CMAA. As we grow in strength and recognition, it is our sincere hope that we will continue to work together to achieve our objectives. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to express my sincere thanks to all donors, sponsors, advertisers, and individuals who helped make this 20th Annual Celebration successful.

The Value of Health By Barbara Zipps Glass, BS, R.N. of CMAA The World Health Organization defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or illness. If we believe that this definition summarizes our well being, then we might want to ask ourselves, what value we put on health. Do we appreciate health as a positive feature of our lives? We do not function in this world in the physical aspect alone. Health is more than our physical body. In understanding our health we need to understand how our emotions, feelings, beliefs and values play a role in both our health and our illness. What role does knowledge play in our understanding of health? First, we need to be able to understand what information the medical provider is conveying to us. Next, knowledge allows us to have a clearer understanding of our health status, illness or disease, in order to ask questions and interpret the new information. Finally, this knowledge allows us to make a more informed decision in determining what type of treatment we feel is right for us and choose to pursue. There are several ways to keep ourselves healthy. Awareness: Being aware of when something is feeling out of balance and understanding what our body is telling us. Prevention: Use nutrition, exercise and activities, limit stress factors, practice stress management, and be aware of subtle The value of health page 9 physical changes. 8 �20th Anniversary October 30 , 2004 CMAA LOWELL MAGAZINE w ith two Cambodian- Your direct Unkto Cambodia: a daily look at what's hot & happening in the sodal, political & •· ent scenes of C day.

The programs of this agency have helped many as they've made their home here. The education department has been a cornerstone of this assistance association, and our anniversary provides an opportunity to reflect on our growth. On any given day at the CMAA, one can find educational activities going on. We have a variety of classes taking place Monday through Saturday, and the range of activities is great. From computer classes to Khmer classes, from English classes for speakers of other languages to traditional dance classes, from GED classes to music classesthe options go on. Our computer teacher, Holy Khut, teaches two classes: computer class level I and computer class level II. In these classes, Mr. Khut introduces students to computers, and in level one he introduces keyboard typing, computer hardware, Windows, and Microsoft Word. In level two, Mr. Khut goes deeper into Microsoft Word, and teaches students about cover letters and resumes; additionally, the teacher introduces the Internet and how to use search engines. We have literacy classes that focus on reading comprehension and writing skills. Here our teacher Marion Best leads students in activities that strengthen their written communication skills. Ms. Best assists the students with critical thinking skills, as well, and these skills will help our students as they move into the work world. One of our longest running programs at the CMAA is the Young Parent Program. This is an alternative education program for young parents between the ages of fourteen and twenty-one who have dropped out of school. The program helps students prepare for the GED test by studying the five subjects of that test. Additionally, this program focuses on life skills, including parenting issues and work-readiness. The aim of the Young Parent Program is to help the young parents move towards self-sufficiency, and it is our belief that an education and a job will take them there. Kerrianne McDermott and Marion Best teach in this program, providing classes and personal support. Our bus driver for this program has been Sak Seang. Ms. McDermott has been driving while Mr. Seang has been sick. We appreciate her willingness to jump in and drive! In addition to the Young Parent Program, we have had GED classes for anyone interested in gaining a high school equivalency diploma. We've had young students who have recently dropped out of high school, and we've had older students who left high school a long time ago. The various ages represented remind us that it is never too late to learn. The CMAA is also the site of a satellite program for Lowell Adult Education (LAE). As a satellite of LAE, we are able to offer English classes for speakers of other languages (ESOL). We have a morning class and an evening class taught by Mr. Kosal Suon. Mr. Suon assists students in language acquisition, and the classes are lively and informative. The CMAA enjoys its collaboration with Lowell Adult Education and appreciates the opportunity to serve students who need to learn English. In the past, the CMAA had a youth program that featured peer leaders and dance instruction. Although that particular program has closed, the agency-always seeking to improve-has begun another program. On Saturday mornings, a new dance troupe practices traditional Cambodian dance to the sounds of traditional music. The Bayon Fine Arts Troupe is the newest addition to the CMAA and with its dance instruction and music instruction seeks to instill a love and respect of Cambodian culture. Additionally, there are Khmer language classes taking place on Saturdays and students are learning the Cambodian alphabet. The Education Department has grown over the past twenty years, and we are grateful to the many funders who recognize the importance of education. I would like to take this time to thank the Department of Transitional Assistance, the Greater Lowell Workforce Investment Board, the City of Lowell Enterprise Community, United Way, the Freeman Foundation, the Fay Foundation, Foundation M, the Department of Education, and all others who have supported us in the past. We look forward to your continued support as we move forward. In addition to our funders, the education department has collaborated with a number of agencies over the years. Thank-you to the Department of Health, Alternative House, Women's Services, ~IC, the Mental Health Association of Greater Lowell, Early Intervention, and so many others. We have benefited from the workshops and information you have shared freely with our students. Over the years, there have been many who have helped the education department, and I may have forgotten to name all of those who have been of assistance. Please forgive me and know that we appreciate all that people have done to make certain that the CMAA's mission to improve lives through education continues to be met. 11 �The Lowell Developlllent and Financial Corporation Congratulates the Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association on your 20th Anniversary Celebration!

She died much too young, and her life was much too short. But during this short time she touched many people in many ways. I met Rany for the first time in 1995 at the Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association (CMAA). This was when the CMAA was located on 125 Perry Street. Rany performed many duties for the CMAA, then. I got to know her well, as one of her jobs was working as the recruiter for the Young Parent Program (YPP). As the director of the YPP, I was Rany's immediate supervisor. She also worked as the Coordinator of the Citizenship Program. Working with Rany, I had the opportunity to see her every day. What I remember most is Rany's smile and sweet voice. She always smiled, and she always had something good to say, a compliment that made you happy. Looking back, now, I imagine Rany must have had a personal motto that she would say something nice to everyone she met, because every day she did. At anniversary parties and New Year's celebrations, I would often see Rany dancing the Rom vong. She would teach me how to hold and move my hands, how to move gracefully around the room. Rany was a wonderful teacher, and this is the role many people remember her in. She worked with the children of the CMAA's Monorom program, teaching traditional Cambodian dance to children with Down's Syndrome and other disabilities. Rany had patience, and I remember watching her adjusting a young dancer's hands so that they would have the proper form. In the afternoons and early evenings, Rany would work with the youth, teaching the young men and women the Coconut dance or the Pestle dance. Most recently, she was working with the Bayon Dance Troupe, and I know she was thrilled when Paula Chea and Sovanndara Neang went to see her in the hospital. They brought a picture of the kids performing at the Water Festival and a card signed by the troupe. Rany took her teaching job very seriously, as she was passing on knowledge of Cambodian dance that was almost lost during the Khmer Rouge. By passing on her own knowledge of dance, she made certain that this tradition of intricate, beautiful dance would live on. I remember watching the young dance troupe performing at various events and seeing Rany watching too, like a proud mother observing her children. Rany worked for the CMAA while raising her own young children. She and I would speak about our families, and I know she loved hers deeply. Like many mothers, she juggled the demands of being a mother, a wife, and a worker. And despite the demands of her busy life, Rany always put on a happy face. I loved to hear her laugh and to see her joking with friends. In 1998, Rany left the CMAA to work at the Department of Transitional Assistance. We were all sad to see her leave, but since my program works closely with DTA, I would still see Rany regularly. Additionally, Rany continued to come to the CMAA to teach dance. She volunteered her time, generously giving of herself so others would know the beauty of Cambodian dance. So we honor Rany's memory by remembering her beautiful spirit, by remembering to always say something nice to people we meet, and by remembering traditional Cambodian dance. 21 �UPS Salutes The Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association for 20 Years of Community Support!
