Without your involvement this program will die out. Please help us. Maintaining a community is not easy our elders have done it for over 30 years within the United State of America. They did not have the education or resources that we, the younger generation have, but they have heart and determination. They believe that the temple "a community center" is a place to share and maintain social, traditional, customs and religion bonding for Laotian and friends. Without public assistance, they operated solely on each other volunteers and financial donations. At this time in history, our elders are seeking the younger generation to step up and take hold of our identity and carry it on with pride and joy. Every little bit does make a big different. Communication have always been a challenge but we need to face our differences with the common love for "LAO". If you wait for the next person to take hold, so is that person waiting for someone else to take hold as well. Soon when the elders passes we will not be able to retrieve the hidden treasure that they carry with them. As you know most of elders do not read or write. Their teaching and sharing have been by doing or talking. We challenge and encourage you who is reading to start this chain to keep sake our hidden Laotian treasure by taking action today. How? 1. Communication: Spread the word and like us on this page. 2. Your time: Donated 1 to 3 hours each month in volunteers support. 3. Your resource: Financial and material support for items needed to make event possible.
