Help with a Project!!
Posted on 06 November 2009
Hey guys, a friend of mine, Nicki and I are doing a project and we would like as many help as possible!
So we all know about the whole Hmong crisis back in Thailand with many of them are being deported back to Laos. Nicki is friend with someone who lives in Thailand and visits a Hmong detention center every month, well Nicki approached me with an idea of giving these innocent people hopes for the future by sending these Hmong people letters from us to let them know that we on the other side of the world do love and care for them and hope that they will be free once more.
For this, we are asking for as many help as possible, if possible, we would love for any of you guys to help write a letter(s) of hope and encouragement to these people, we would prefer it in Hmong but if not, we’ll find a translator to rewrite the letters in Hmong.
Do keep in mind that in this detention center, there are 158 innocent lives and 91 out of 158 of these innocent people are innocent kids who knows no better and deserves all the hope and encouragement as possible.
We may say there is nothing we can do, but honestly there is; we can help by writing letters of hope and encouragement, if any of you guys have little ones who can draw for the kids that would be greatly appreciated!
Once you guys are done with the letters and drawing email them all to me at mozemoua@gmail.com and I will get these letters and drawings to Nicki she will then send these letters to Yvonne.
Deadline for these letters is on November 24 2009, please get them all to me no later than this date so that Nicki can send them to Yvonne in Thailand. Yvonne had stated that there is a good chance that these people MIGHT be deported back to Laos by year’s end, so everyone, lets all come together and show some love, hope and encouragement to these people!!!!!

Ze,
So far I’ve been very disappointed with the outcome. Sure I only posted this yesterday but compared to the amount of status updates on Facebook, Hmong people rather talk about the New Years than leave a comment about helping out. Not only that, the ones who have contacted me, most of them are non-Hmong who are willing to help out. The Hmong people who have replied wanted me to literally spell out what to do. Did you not read what I have to say? Even for those who have said they would help out, I think they are just going to sit back and just do that until they hear from me what I tell them to do.
It’s just that I’ve been updating a lot of people about the status of the Hmong people for the longest time. I feel that people like to talk about what they can do but when to actually do it, it’s a different story.
That’s just my rant for the day
My Twitter rants in the past 20 or so mins
***it’s a privilege to be given an opportunity, many ppl just want things given to them, but the Hmong refugees aren’t even given that
**just cuz ur life suck, u don’t have to bring everyone else down to ur level
**ppl always want more, that’s why everyone can never be happy
**why does negativity always win over positivity? ppl seem to focus on that more
**walk to the talk or shut up
Nicki, my outcome isn’t as great either. I haven’t checked my Gmail, but then I had posted this in a Hmong community site and thus far the repleis were more like “how is it going to encourage them” blah blah blah! Right now I am very sadden that most of them have “better” things to do then encourage these innocent lives! I wish they would think outside the box!! Either way, I am going to help you make this possible! We can do it! Even if it means just you and I, i want to give hope to these people!!!!! I want to let them know that we had not forgotten about them!! Most importantly, it could had been us sitting in that detention center, but we were lucky, no since we are not sitting there, we can do waht we can to give those people hope, even if it’s a little it’s still hope! A smile can go a long way!
