Project Freedom at Last
October 1st, 2007My Dad, who has been a Treasurer for one of the local Buddhist temples in Mass. the past 16 years, has brought the following situation to us this past weekend and I'd like to pass it on to you, my generous internet friends, for your help.
After the fall of Saigon in 1975 and takeover by the communist party, many Vietnamese have fled the country (ourselves included), in search of freedom in fear of persecution by the government, mostly by boat (you might have heard of the "boat people" during the '80s). Some have reached their final destinations safely, some have perished on their way, or some, in this case, have been stranded in the Philippines in limbo and "stateless" for the past 17 years.
