Community Workshop " Vietnamese Family- Today and Tomorrow"

For the past two years, SKVC was invited to participate in "The Forum: Family Today and Tomorrow" sponsored by International Children Assistance Network (ICAN). The Forum is to facilitate a friendly discussion among parents and teenagers, to provide places for the youth and adults to address their concerns on family issues, and to provide resources to help everyone understand and learn to cope with differences in Vietnamese and American cultures. In this forum, SKVC with its short play brings daily conflicts within Vietnamese family to the stage and that helps opening discussion among audience.
