											<description><![CDATA[Dear Friends and Colleagues:

I would like to ask you to be part of this historical project, in tribute to Vietnamese Refugees. We are looking for Vietnamese living in all 50 states so that the project will be of all Vietnamese refugees. The fund raising campaign will end when we have 30 founding sponsors and when 1060 bricks are sold out.
Please visit the website: www.duongdentudo.com for most updated info and the donation form. Please also help to spread the words to other Vietnamese.

Again, let be part of the history and many thanks for your support

Gateway to Freedom Project

(www.duongdentudo.com)



The Gateway to Freedom Project is a public private partnership between the Fairfax County Public Library System and two Vietnamese organizations in the area: the Vietnamese National Institute of Administration Alumni Association, East Coast USA (NIAAA) and Quang Da Mutual Association, East Coast USA (QDMA). This project is a tribute to the Vietnamese refugees in Fairfax County, as well as in the United States.



Brief History

The Project started in 2003 when representatives of the two organizations
approached Supervisor Penny Gross of Mason District and Mr. Sam Clay, Director
of Fairfax County Public Library System, requesting that part of Thomas
Jefferson Library be designated as a Vietnamese Reading Room so the members of
the Vietnamese American Community could come and read Vietnamese books and other
printed materials. In return, the two organizations would supply the library
with Vietnamese books. This Vietnamese Reading Room was officially inaugurated
on December 3, 2005. As of June 2009, the two organizations have donated more
than 2,000 books to Thomas Jefferson Library.

When the Thomas Jefferson Library renovation plan was drawn, the two organizations offered to pay for all the bricks for the walkway to the main entrance (total of 1,094 bricks). These bricks will be engraved with names of
Vietnamese-Americans and friends who donate the money for the bricks and the Thomas Jefferson Library. The Fairfax Library Foundation will serve as the fiscal agent.


Highlights

The walkway is a gift from the Vietnamese refugees to express their deep gratitude to the residents of Fairfax County and the American people who have given them a chance to live free again. It also represents the success and
contribution of Vietnamese refugees to their new homeland and a reminder to younger generations to preserve the heritage and culture through the studying and reading of Vietnamese materials.


Timeline

The fundraising campaign was kicked off at a reception sponsored by the Vietnamese Medical Society, East Coast USA on June 27, 2009 and is expected to end in January-March 2010, or when all the bricks are donated, whichever comes first.

The construction of the walkway will be started in early spring 2010 and is
expected to be completed by the summer 2010.

<p>WESTMINSTER &ndash;&nbsp;The Vietnamese American Arts &amp; Letters Association (VAALA), with support from the Kenneth Picerne Foundation, will launch two H&aacute;t Bội classes conducted by veteran artist Ngọc B&agrave;y. These classes are FREE and open to everyone. Students older than 12 are encouraged to register. One class will be held every Sunday, from 2pm-3:30pm; the second class every Thursday, from 6:30pm-8:00pm.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To register for these classes, please email  or call VAALA (714) 891-8172. Classes will be taught in Vietnamese. Students are required to read Vietnamese fluently. No prior experiences in theater or Vietnamese traditional music required.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Each quarter lasts 3 months. The entire program runs one year. After each quarter, students will have opportunities to perform H&aacute;t Bội excerpts in a recital. Students will learn the various modes of H&aacute;t Bội singing, movement, dance, make-up, and costume making.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is a way to keep H&aacute;t Bội alive,&rdquo; says Ysa Le, VAALA&rsquo;s Executive Director.</p>

Vietnamese &ldquo;Boat People&rdquo; Are Subject of May 2 Symposium<br />
<br />
In the years following the Vietnam War, more than 1 million refugees fled the war-ravaged countries of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. Those who took to the ocean in small, overcrowded ships were dubbed the &ldquo;boat people.&rdquo; Many perished on the seas, some at the hands of pirates, while others took refuge in Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, the Philippines and Indonesia.&nbsp; By the late 1970s and 1980s, the United States, Canada and other nations accepted many of those who survived the refugee camps. <br />
The plight of these refugees is the subject of a symposium titled &ldquo;Journey to Freedom: The Boat People Retrospective,&rdquo; to be held at the Library of Congress from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., on Saturday, May 2, in Room 119 of the Thomas Jefferson Building, 10 First Street S.E., Washington, D.C.<br />
The symposium, which is free and open to the public, is sponsored by the Library&rsquo;s Asian Division and the Asian Division Friends Society, with support from the Voice of Vietnamese Americans, Boat People S.O.S. Inc., the National Congress of Vietnamese Americans and individuals from the Vietnamese American communities in the Greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Pre-registration is required due to space limitation. Contact Rem&eacute; Grefalda at regr@loc.gov, (202) 707-6096. <br />
Senator James Webb (D-Va.) will deliver the opening keynote address. Rep. Joseph Q. Cao (R- La.) will be the luncheon keynote speaker. &nbsp;<br />
Scholars, community leaders and former refugees will discuss the topic in four sessions: &ldquo;Historical Background,&rdquo; &ldquo;Exodus,&rdquo; &ldquo;Rescue and Hospitality,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Remembering Who We Are and Where We Have Been.&rdquo; <br />
Drawn from the Library&rsquo;s collections, a display of literature on the Vietnamese boat people will be on view throughout the day in the Asian Division Reading Room, Room 150 of the Thomas Jefferson Building. In the reading room, from 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m., several authors will sign their books on the subject, which will be available for purchase. <br />
Two short films, to be shown at 2 p.m., will depict the resettlement process: &ldquo;Waiting Days at Morong, Bataan&rdquo; and &ldquo;The Hong Kong Resettlement Village.&rdquo; <br />
Founded in 1800, the Library of Congress is the nation&rsquo;s oldest federal cultural institution. The Library seeks to spark imagination and creativity and to further human understanding and wisdom by providing access to knowledge through its magnificent collections, programs and exhibitions. Many of the Library&rsquo;s rich resources can be accessed through its website at www.loc.gov and via interactive exhibitions on a new, personalized website at myLOC.gov.<br />
The Asian Division is the central repository for all types of Asian publications that are not broadly available at other locations in the United States. Initiated in 1869 with a gift of 10 works in 934 volumes offered to the United States by the Emperor of China, the Library&rsquo;s Asian collection of more than 2 million items is the largest and most comprehensive outside of Asia. <br />
In 2007, the Asian Division began collaborating with cultural and educational institutions throughout the United States to build an Asian Pacific American (APA) collection in the Library of Congress. Currently, the APA Collection includes the Betty Lee Sung Collection, the Carlos Bulosan Archives, the Jade Snow Wong Collection, the James Miho Conceptual Diaries and the Royal Morales Collection. It also includes the Vietnamese American Archives, which houses&nbsp;&nbsp; archival refugee materials donated by Boat People S.O.S. Inc. and VOICE (Vietnamese Overseas Initiative for Conscience Empowerment), a U.S.-based-non-profit organization.<br />
