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) , -=-"' It ,,,,..,.,.EEQ6 t E6".'tR . .,..,.

Dragon, Esq. Vanthan Un, Esq. Sambath Keo, D.M.D. Narong Hui 1It 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 6 �ISSUE #8 JULY 1999 KHMER LOWELL QUARTERLY MAGAZINE tm :tmq;:urn:rn ruC3ot~ U§ltifl g ~ ru'4t11firituirutm: ttil~s oJUtlJJ~ tut91ijfi~ rug :tt:J rut ti tUl1ul «U ~ lli0 llil: tu nu rnm18ru» '1 rn :d1ub[i1t1;! ruLGJtiii~mJGJritunmt'JHmitm: tm mru~stf;! ru&n~ ruugru '1 (JJHrn sutnns :tHi rumh LU tu~ '1 rnrnG • Jijfi~ rug :u tit~~ Gm mt:ll tuei fi '4 tuti:l run rig :tm: tmtLu(l]ntim1~Ga1nru11teirutfinmst81QwHmJ U§ltifi&n 011 ) ) rn ruru1mmn-&n8 rug: ijfi~Hug :mmLffi stiJ16JHtnfi{ifi t:llriUvrifiri '1 u:ririnri~wlLGJNtf;! rugi t'Jg :ms ~fim tl.Jtti t-1t'Ja11 :m rutf;! rutru1 fi-&n8 rug :tm: '1 tm rutlruiwtm :~tEHJ 5JGJHi.fol1 ~Hug :m BLGJrimG'Li&n8 rug :~n(l]nti8 tuq rum J Gimumsrnm1lli1ruummmnwruw:tm:mmntm'1 u " mSGJ1tiw1tLffis tmw ti:l rumri9wtmtruLGJrinrit~g: '1 GJ1ti mwHt'JtS :m~mrflw tEHJmnm&n8 rug :tui rust1g1G'Lig: '1 tu '11s wl tru1fi-ijfit:kurnGJ1U mwmJtS: tm :tru1 fi-ijfi stimG oj rn8 rum1m1flg1 ti.ig: ~mtf;! ruifatgmHGJ1timt1s-rn.its: '1 GJ1ti gf:l rntfo1 ri 9w wlf:l ru t1 cl 9. sLG! ri nri '1 rn ru rui1 trui n-ljfi t1~ rug:~. ru gi t'Jg =Lutm ru t\l JJtrui n-&nutit~~ :fog C3 • .. di:l rum sd § SLGJriH su-u tuflt~8 ru~ :fog~ rum) tui tusw 1,) ', le,I q (,t (,t q W _, ~gi~~e:J I U In cl tJ' VPDATE!

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. rrnlmtmt'lrn :w tuni rust+ u u a, ti' ti' fiU t/ ~ruttmUill8181, ti' Fish represent a significant food source for many Southeast Asians.

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.

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. mrmmi ~mm t~£'lt~tsfilmnrittU1utUjUllin? tfitmgmHll1w1fi§fiHUtrui:l WN tm :fil s tuu1 £'ltfiITTmti ri ~G mmmrna£'lt\! tSLfilri mJam mrutmm:tWQtuli:l llill? s I ;) 11 £'lt~fil£'lastas n1m81HULfilNGllQ rutr:i rurnm[il samm :rn ... t£'l~Um81tru9fiG£'ltt:l ruw StSl :tmrntltrn:mJi:llHUnJtti '1 tu .... fi§m!;!lritgm1rnJ11mri tmrna~na timm~am£'l~ng si:lm: g ~ ruq ruL£'lasi~m1:ngm nim w :~m Se'it\!g nillillnim1 ms Qi:lfilJi:llJJUunim '1 ~tutmJffitUwswnmriLi'iJ'lrin H'laHSLDaLt:i[l t8lt~ trujnti:lt1a Hruli:l t£'lHlSQfigiglHhm:mJi:llJ tfll: £'ltatsinmunirnrist1G:tmmmm:tr:111 ifts11:tuwsfi1mri tr:Jrums111my tgmJqJ t£'lWNw1N§i'iitt:lruf:17SLfilNt3flG stiwn rnj£'lwl m~scltr:i rum SLLil rifo tLGS t~ smmm srit\!g niw1t1 SJllill? ... £'ltl;!in£'ltSwSmtlfias:mSt~tjl t[Jn:rn§StHSwl H9ruJ~rucJfln t81tgt:ilH9ruj\1ig~rurr.iMrufim HStHSwl utmJtfifi HStHSwltGrui:lH'1ru'1Sb '1ru'1 0 We are in the process of collaborating with the elderly program to have "Foster-Parent" program working with the youth on a daily basis explaining one-on-one the importance of citizenship. 0 0 ~ In the past we have worked very closely with Lowell High School and U Mass Lowell to recruit and educate youth on the importance of citizenship.

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. 15 �tfls'i8:ttHUHl'ictru~:m~ffo? <nanfhiti's ~) u Lu CMAA's Khmer New Year LCil ri nriL~ itn l'.!l ri ~ nq ti~ ti un t81i:i mem~ t11tt:1 ruuq11 ri r.mti G.Jl fiimnr:l1LCilri nri asit:ts r:l1 LCilritt:1 rur:l1m fii~ fii~ :u[j t11 '1 qti1t11: tt1 ru~llit8U §lUtl l'.!l nuri til'it'itUl t11 gHu~ l~StMJU Q_Q Uvt'i t'it'itSl:Ht'iijt'i~rug:'1 UQ_QtS1:L~SmtiHt1SlHSHut11UJ8 Sb tru2~tiLrnWfiJCTSleilHS1:'1 '1 tti~fiig:astg~tru:rntm: ijt'i r:lruct:mGms ,iHim1ruwnritm :an1rnCil s '1 mruHnr:lrurruti (iJlritm ~ fii~=LniLutiruu~1rinritm:tmijn~ rug:sm '1 ~ G'Jg: ff1Gt:lt'it111'i'1..!t11£u:t8Hj~ t'iW nti + '3- tuct:tt:Irumir:lrutmdrnri "'c:.1 b- mt(jlt'itUl'iMltt:lruHS(jl8f'itit81t'i tiu '1n.n run '117: '1.JnU 17 mms~ru '1 tti~fiig:mriLCilrinrit'JntimtCilritan mriL~iMru mfl1~t1115Jt9'1ijn~rug:~si~Btt:1ru~G21ti tuit11Lnsm1~ruqru'1 qtimnns l~ SU~lffiHtiUMl Stt:1g rur:l, ru Qf'ilJ[jl s"'11 Stt:1 ru Uq]lrirJ1~ '1.ig :~ nr:ll(jl sci Ml ttJLCil ri~ruti ~ sw ntimsg t'l1 qrutm:tt:ts'1 m- utit1§1'.!11~:tm: tti'11smnyru~gru~:nl~sl5Jtil'igru~: utit1§1'.!ll~:'1 21titLmt:tts:~r:llqmU1i£:~n~tf1t1LCilrinri: 9.'3- tutrum-Ht'ir:lruct:t:trutrJ tiomiruif ntrnrufo tuirunri ' @oot:1ruif wntimrnGmnct: '1 tmm rutruin-Hm1mrntruin ijf'it81drnrit~~: dO~qJ1J ~ttrn:truli'i-ijf'iUtitflHtti ddo ~qJ1f~t11fo tm:~fii~:mGt:ln~n dO~qJ1f~tCilrinri'1 rntns tutiru dcto~qJ)r ~mruin-ijnsm'1 u 9.b- tutruin-Hnr:lruct:tu @oot:Jruif t:trufo tuiwnri tioo ~qJ1f wntims~1121n~:'1 tmmrutruin-{fnfimm ~fii~=L~s tlMl t11HfiJ$boo. oor:l rur:l ruiitt:J rut:vritun tt:J rumstmnti mflnmrnrutruin-ijm1~ru tm:~fii~l~iLUtiru ~oo~qJlf tStCilrinristiutn1ijtt:1rumri(jls~ruqrutl'.!lrumsuM1stt:J H1ti m~ructtitBt:tjuqp rim mriCil stl Ml rutrumi~ R1q rutt:t s '1 9.m- tUtrulf'i-Ht'ir:lrui::i:rltru @OOt:Jruif tuit11nri @OOt:lrulJ wntimrnGmnct :wtuti '1 tmrnrutt:J rutruin-nm1mrn mfii u ~=tLfinfiiboo~qJ1f wnti~ruqrumfiiijtr:lru(jlritun'1 qt~m fiJ(jlMtUi'i~llirl~ 8~Hl snritm trunyru SJltt:l rutrui fi-iji'i tmru tUlt11imrum '3001:lrulJ mMl:runUGMlrutrumi ~ruqrumfiim1tt:1ruas(jlsq:qti~titrntm: '1 ~ty: ~fii~:L~s m doo~ qJ11tSLCil ri nriamrui f'i-ijl'iSffi tui ruutn JG Ml lli ru trumsg R1q ru ml:l tm :nl~smtuti rut:tmrui n-ijmt:11 '11 Celebration 1999 ~ q .:,p, ,:) t I J Je.l t I J V 1.1<11 I c:Q q :J I c,f ec:=, e,I ., _, - CIU 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 dancing. u J IJ - I e e,/ ~ 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.

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 the CMAA to Boston. The young children and adults 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 . 17 �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. 18 �ISSUE #8 JULY 1999 KHMER LOWELL QUARTERLY MAGAZINE tn trui M-1;! nm 8 tw1ut9f11 mttf1 girt mrm a~: er w1 ~ 21u1t81 ttit11 ~18 am LI .:, 0 .:, I ~ 11 t ti run ri, ~ t n rJl n rui (t1 t 81 t ~ a1 M ,:Joo ✓ ,:J le,/ O. llil (t1 nJ 8 ~ t 81 ~ t 91 tJ ~ LU t g eu '1 e,1., I V ,J 0/ !f!iidfll!Jfflltftifjllfllf£IJ!llfllltlllJ!fl8tilgTlfJltilfi[!Jfll§ig'lfllJll!Jffll!fJljl81fflilllJ71il1 lfi,'Jltlltfftfflfli:1un/8s1ffmgllflllflt11/f1J 1 IQ /:Ye?

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. w m et at 2 st m t s1 sil' t1i tf t1t nn i, -u i, il q ~ t mtu ta ttt zn t1 '1 c1c1', m nm ru tut tr i, t1 t 11 t1 fi t:J ru t 11 w, LN tit a1 il G: mo tti i, r:Hu d: oo ~1 ti '1 - e,J e,J ,,.

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?

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. 34 �11 1\.TBW PARADISE - . ~ , J. ~ BUFFET 1270 Westford Street, Unit 10 Lowell, MA 01851 (978) 970-2400 ; . -~~ .:·•·· .,;_ ;- y 1 BEST CHINESE &THAI BUFFET IN THE LOWELL AREA tiunan ~zechuan Mandar-in And Thai Cuisine • GREAT SERVICE, BEST QUALITY & TASTE BUSINESS HOURS LUNCH : MON · FRI 1 1 :OOAM · 3:30PM DINNER : MON · FRI 3:30PM · 1 O:OOPM SUN : 1 1 :OOAM · 1 O:OOPM CALL DAY DINNER) SATURDAY CLOSED CATERING SERVICE: Group Party, Baby Shower, Birthday, Wedding Graduation, and all other occasions.
