Through her involvement
in Sam's activities and a

she began to see the need for

center
Right now, the center
doesn't look like much it is
little more than some filing
cabinets and a glass case con-
taining a few artifacts from
the Orient. Hut refugees who
come here can learn
American customs, get job
information or simply listen
to the folk music of their
native land
Houston has the second
largest population of In-
dochinese people in the coun-

Vietnam in the last seven
years, and many have not yet
recovered from the culture

The refugees came here

country, to a might-oriented

Khoi himself left his
parents, a brother and sister
behind when he fled a
crumbling Saigon in 1975 His
father died in 1978 and he only
occasionally gets letters from
his relatives in Vietnam
He is a poet, a former
cabinet minister in the
department of agriculture
and winner of his country’s
highest literary prize
But the center is not design-
ed for people like Khoi, who
spoke English fluently before
he arrived, and was able to
get a job quickly Many of the
refugees arrived here without
command of the English
language or any knowledge of
American ways, he said
The center tells them how
to ride a bus, make change or
use indoor plumbing How to
get a job. lell time, or use a
stove They can also learn
how to start the process
toward gaining U S citizen-
ship
Printed information is
available in three languages
Vietnamese. Khmer and
Lan Phamplets tell the
refugees about American
history, its customs and
legends
They are told about Hen

and the first Thanksgiving
