Also, I would like to welcome you again to another edition of the Khmer Lowell Magazine, a quarterly publication published by the Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association (CMAA) of Greater Lowell, Inc. At the CMAA, we have been working very hard to organize the Khmer New Year Festival 2001 to be held at the Tsongas Arena on Saturday,April 14, 2001, starting from 2:00 to 11 :00 pm. With a theme of"Celebration of Khmer Music, Arts, Cuisine and Dance In A New Millennium", we are featuring many different aspects of Cambodian cutural performances, from the traditonal Mohori music essemble to modern live band, traditional dances to pop concert on stage, comedy acts and musical sets highlighting the once popular era in Cambodia, along with food, arts/craft, and informaiton booths throughout the day for visitors to sample, purchase, and enjoy. We anticipate between 8,000 to 10,000 people to circle throught the event on that day. I would also like to acknowledge our sponsors and supporters such as the Fleet bank, Sovering bank, Massachusetts Culrual Council, Lowell Cultural Council, City of Lowell, Department of Public Health, Angkor Dance and Friendship Dance Troupes, Lowell Telecommumunications Corporation, the Merrimack Valley convention and visitor Bureau, O' Sullivann Communications, the Tsongas Arena and many more individuals and businesses to help make this Khmer New Year Festival becoming a reality again this year for many to enjoy. May the Year of the Snake bring you and loved ones much happiness, good health and prosperity for many many years to come! May Cambodia and her people find true peace prosperity. Happy Cambodian New Year! Samkhann C. Khoeun Executive Director, CMAA 5 �As President of the Board of Directors of the Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association, I am proud to present this issue ofKhmer Lowell magazine.

'Jt V u 0 This month the CMAA will present its second Khmer New Years Fes ti val at the Tsongas Arena. Last year's celebration, our first at the Tsongas Arena, was a great success, and we are hoping that this year's event will be an even better event. We have received word that Prom Manh has been approved for a performer's visa to come to the United States to perform at our event. We expect to have even more booths and other attractions this year. I invite everyone to come to see the New Years Festival on Saturday, April 14, 2001 at the Tsongas Arena to share in our celebration of Cambodia's rich cultural heritage. For Lowell's Cambodians, this is an important way for us to keep our culture alive. Forour non-Cambodian friends, this is a great opportunity to explore Cambodian culture and learn more about the Cambodian community. d -t, c:r The Editor's Word Our Khmer Lowell Magazine is always happy to serve al 1 of you as the readers, supporters, and the community as a whole. We love to learn new things that are beneficial to us as a Cambodian Organization in Lowell and especially for our young generations. In every issue, we try to include other subjects, besides the events and programs offered at our organization, as many as we could. The main purpose is to provide as much information as we have to the community, local and national. Therefore, if you have any good information you would like to share with the community, please forward it to us. Planning is already underway for the next Water Festival. The government of Cambodia has donated two seventyfive foot racing boats, built in Cambodia, and local Cambodian businesses have generously donated four additional smaller racing boats to the CMAA. We now have the challenge of raising the funds needed to transport the boats from Cambodia to Lowell. We want this to be a true community effort. Anyone interested in helping the effort to bring these new boats to their new home in Lowell can contact the CMAA at (978) 454-4286. I look forward to working with all of you to make this year's Water Festival the best ever. We live apart, but still be together! 1319 Middlesex Street, Lowell, MA 01851 ~ .

As the classes moved forward, we've seen an over whelming response of students, young and old who are coming to CMAA, to register and who are willing to learn, to improve their English, solder and computer skills, and to get their citizenship to accommodate their living in United States. From the outcome of all this I guess, when it comes to education you're never too young or too old to learn. Once again we would like to congratulate all our graduating students!!

Those four areas are English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), Computer Skills, Workplace English Leaming, and General Educational Development (G.E.D.). Through the LEAD-ABE Program, and with English as the core study, we are able to make all nine classes available to all members of our community, emp loyed and as well as unemployed. Our students are taught through reading, writing, and speaking sessions on subj ect matters that are relative to their daily lives. We also offer field trips so that students our students are not just learning the language, but also getting their exposure to the mainstream environment, and an opportunity to practice their English. Also, we schedule guest speakers from the public and private sectors to speak subjects such as worker's rights, the availability of other social services, job readiness skills, and other subject matters that are of interests to our students Since its inception, the LEAD-ABE program has provide services to almost two hundred clients with our Southeast Asian and Spanish speaki ng communities with the Greater Lowell area. Despite of many of the challenges for our students, such as lack of transportation and childcare , 75% of our students have continued to attend their classes at 80% rate of attendance. Along with the hard working, dedicated, and experienced staff, the LEAD-ABE Program continues to grow and increases our services more community members in general.
