This section is designed to allow boat people and their family members to discuss topics of their choosing with other boat people.  This communication system is based upon the idea that Vietnamese boat people have undergone a journey that few others can fully understand, and are thus able to relate to and help one another through these common experiences.  Discussion topics can range from favorite recipes to obstacles in assimilation to American life.  Below is a list of possible discussion topics.

Possible discussion topics:

  • Tips for raising children in American/Australian/Canadian/etc. society
  • Difficulties in assimilating
  • Locations of large Vietnamese communities
  • Reunions (of family members or communities)
  • Language resources
  • Job opportunities
