Below are the questions and replies by benevolent Laotian Americans in their own words. I only copied the first page. Those Laotians are indeed have good intention for Laos.Would any of the younger generation of Lao ever want to return to Lao? Help and support the country? Tell me what you think.
It always occured to me that many of the younger generation here in America have forgotten about where there parents and grand-parents have come from. So many of the younger generations have disappointed their parents by not being able to be something in life if you know what i mean. So tell me, would any of you ever want to go live in Lao and help the country develope? Or would you rather just watch Vietnam, China, and Thailand take over? What do you think?
money (it is hard, I'm always having to spend my savings), I'll go back to live in Laos. I have visited before and I can really connect
Why not? All these BAD ASS gangsters are already strap with 9mm 24/7. Actually, we don't have to live in Lao to support the country developement, we could do it from here by establishing a nonprofit charity foundation and donation. All donated collective items such as money, clothes, school supplies, house hold items, and etc. can be sent back home to most needed villages. In my opinion, I rather sent the donated items to small village temples and rely on the fairness of the monks to distributed to those most needed.
Sounds like a good plan Mee. I just want the slow pace of Lao countryside, that's why I want to someday actually move there to live.
Everything happen for a reason. If the communist did not win the war we would not be here. So, I don't see why anyone would complain when their lives are better here in the USA. But since we are successful, well some of us anyway, it is up to you if you want to help Laos. For example, I help my country by sending money to relatives. I am not sending or helping the government. Also, even if you don't like Laos government it does not mean that you give up on its people. The people has done nothing wrong except trying to survive. If you are a good person and kind heart, you find ways to help people and it does not have to be Laos. We have poor people all over the world. But since we are born Lao, it only makes sense focusing on helping Lao People. Stop making excuse by saying I will not help because of Lao Government or why should I feel guilty or obligated to help. As human, it is every person obligation to help one another. The strong and the wise must always help the weak, the ignorant, and the oppressed. Why do you think we have Buddha and Jesus and other holy sage? These holy ones are here to help the ignorant to become wise so that they can help themselves and than others.
Im not that young, but when that opportunity come I'll help out the motherland, and do what I can. That when a dull citizenship come in handy. I have relative in Laos. We help them out with their college tuition, run a business and build a house. They say."Never forget where you come from."
Tommy there not much that Laos can do after the Vietname war. Laos is a small country, with a small population. After the war Laos, Cambodia is control by our powerful Communist neighbor, and they do not had our best interest at heart.
Oh and By the way, I'm just 15 and not born in Lao : )
Well I actually plan on going back to Lao when I finish school and have a job. I plan on supporting my families here and in Lao as well. Majority of my dad's family are still in Lao. Only 2 of his sisters came to America..the rest are still back home. Being the his first born it is my duty to accept full responsibility as head of the family. Though I do not have full authority on them..I just want them to know that I am here to help them financially. I know in my heart that it is my duty to take care of the family. Turning my back on my dad's family is almost like turning my back on my dad and on my grandparents. I just can't do that. It doesn't matter if I hardly know them..as long as they are my family..I will always be there for them because blood is thicker than water. I also plan on building a house in my mom's village for my parents so that when they retire they can go and visit Lao whenever they want. The house will not just only be for my parents, but for any of my family members to stay and rest. I want it to be where both sides of my family are welcome to visit and take rest there. I also plan on rebuilding my grandfather's clinic in my mom's village and open it up. I don't know what I will do with it or even how I'ma keep it running when I'm gone exactly, but I'll figure it out when the time comes.
I would help to built with my knowledge and $ I got here,and i dont care whos in charge as long as they are at pease with the world.i do it for the better of the people and for me.Yes that would not be easy but the way i see it is that its not so hard either.Just have to know whats happening now and the stats/facts/governmental agenda,GDP,per capita,export,resouce,infrastures,LPDR future policies,civic population,foreign investment,IMF,WORLD BANK,surrounding countrys view,-dont worry about our neighbours-we are in LOCKLAND.the next undervalue BOOM is in LAO.-sorry for the bad grammar.-hehe-i major in business finance and economics-my friend is in political science-pls comment me back.
Moving back to Laos and improving, modernizing, and finding entrepreneurial wealth is one of the only motivations for me to do well in school.
i can't even help myself how i can i gonna help Laos. Vietnam control Laos now. I think i better stay here in the cornfield.
I think once my girls go to college, my wife and I will begin to live in Laos for half a year each year. We will probably be voluteering to teach English to the local schools on a regular basis and also will be running some sort of a US based charity for local Lao kids in Laos.

It's not an easy thing to do. Just a thought almost everyone would love to build laos. We have everything here in america so no need to leave. Laos needs strong and stable government with safety and guranteed before someone willing to pour alot of money into it. Our current government still corrupted and it won't change for a long time.
Yeah you're right it won't change for a long time, but by the time my generation gets older there will be new politicians who will take office and change for the better. The old politicians will die off and the new will emerge. It just takes time.
^ i am lao-american and i can speak and read/write lao.
i never lived in laos only visited twice when i was a kid.
most of us live in the US so it is hard to learn lao when the language spoken most of the time is english.
why do you think there are culture days where lao-americans show other americans how our culture is?
today my little sister came home and told me there was a program showing other cultures and there was one for Lao. They did the traditional dance. The dancers were aged 10-20 and the audience were middle school kids.
i'm sure these kind of programs are present around the US as well.
so if you think they are not proud of being Lao think again.

I don't think their heart is 100% Lao but they are 99.9% American
They don't even speak Lao
They never proud of Being Lao
In fron of you they smile but behind you, They look down on you as well and always be insincere to talk to you
etc....
This is I found when I know some of "American-Lao"( see?..They wont say "Lao-American")
Who care if they don't speak Pasa Lao. It should only matter if they are willing to help Laos. Who care if they are Lao-American or American-Lao. That is so irrelavant. And you are dumb not to see that. Hatred blinded you. Have open mind and open heart. It didn't matter to you if does farangs help Laos. Why does it matter if Lao Expat help Laos. You should shut up.
Ake. You better shut up. Don't generalize Lao-American or American-Lao. Most of us want to help Lao Nai in the corruption free Lao society. Anyway, we can help Lao kids because they are not corrupted and they don't harbour the hatred against Lao Nork.

Only the idiot who don't use the brain and open the eyes see the outside and know nothing instead of listening and find out the truth. Lao history repeat itself . Look at the Jew around the world , they are every where but they are united . So why is matter about Lao nork who would like to help. I speak for myself not for any body else I don't care about the politic as long as Lao people have a good living , good health care for the kids , good educations .Look at North Korea and Cuba they used the same system 80 years and still could not deliver good living for their people. The government By only one party and only FOR one party and only their party and their family good living and power but the people are still under the property and poor. Most of the Lao nork they already have a good living even the janitor still earn more money than the skill worker or a professional worker in Laos. There are some Lao- American who have professional skill such as doctors , teachers and professors and skill worker would like to help the Lao kids who really need help so what is wrong with that.

Brother See, please read it again. They are not my English.You should have known by now.I am sure you have read many posts of mine for quite some time. I only typed the first paragraph.I simply copied them and pasted here for our people to read.So, they would be able to discern from different perspective about Laotian Americans before passing general judgment.Many of us do have good intention for the motherland though we may not directly help the country but we do send money to our families and relatives.That should be considered indirect contribution to the Lao’s economy.I myself had paid tuitions for my brothers and sisters until they graduated and some ended up working for the government.They are all thankful until today for my support.

Oopss!!! My bad brother BLM!!! I didn't really read all those stuffs but I thought it was all your typing. I'm so sorry brother.
Yes!! everytime that you're sending $$$ back to Laos, you're contributing to the local economy. I think more and more of people in U.S. that have extra flow of cash should send some back to their relatives. I wish I can send more often but I'm so broke myself. I can only afford to add $20 or $30 here and there. My relatives knows I cant afford sending too much and they really appreciated what I can send them.
.Look at North Korea and Cuba they used the same system 80 years and still could not deliver good living for their people

That is not a point exact time, the point is why could we get along and united and try to help the Lao kids who really need help special (vaccine) , education . I am no better than you or any body else on earth . I just have a good intention. You always show the hate and reject the friendship .

You are right I was wrong about the time of north Korea and Cuba. I am sorry about that. But look north Korea and Cuba today . Even Russia and China still change . Don't you think it is time to be united. Look at Israel how small they are and how strong they are. They survive around with the big countries which are not friendly and the Jew are the world are behind Israel. We would like to do the same for Laos. I would like to tell you once again just only for myself ,I don't want to have any thing to do with the politic in Laos but would like to see Lao kid get the help they need.

To show off and be the big guy never are my personality and character, I have been in Laos and I know what kind of people they are and I love to help them spacial sweet little kids who need good education, very simple vaccine to prevent the illness and the opportunity to be productive when they grow up. If you feel and see my good intention then stop look at me as your energy because we are not your energy. So come and help us to help those kids and speak up loud to stop the corruption in the government and talk in the civilize way and try to find the good solution to resolve the problems in Laos. Stop killing the innocent people use the law not the guns .Give back the right to be human. That means the human been right , freedom of speech and press and TV news show the world could witness. when I say the human been right that mean the right to vote and pick their leader or their representatives. The government must be the government by the people and for the people and nothing more and nothing less. Allow or recruit the professional person such doctors, teacher and professor to work couple or service in Laos the same way the Israel do to the Jew around the world.

To show off and be the big guy never are my personality and character, I have been in Laos and I know what kind of people they are and I love to help them spacial sweet little kids who need good education, very simple vaccine to prevent the illness and the opportunity to be productive when they grow up. If you feel and see my good intention then stop look at me as your energy because we are not your energy. So come and help us to help those kids and speak up loud to stop the corruption in the government and talk in the civilize way and try to find the good solution to resolve the problems in Laos. Stop killing the innocent people use the law not the guns .Give back the right to be human. That means the human been right , freedom of speech and press and TV news show the world could witness. when I say the human been right that mean the right to vote and pick their leader or their representatives. The government must be the government by the people and for the people and nothing more and nothing less. Allow or recruit the professional person such doctors, teacher and professor to work couple years as a volunteer. or service in Laos the same way the Israel do to the Jew around the world.
Look at North Korea and Cuba they used the same system 80 years and still could not deliver good living for their people
WOWWWWWWWWW !
i m wandering sometime a smart kid try to convince me, that he know a lot of everything. i m one of janitors he quoted, don't live bad, but a good life ?........ BTW as i know the CUBA or N Korea revolution were after 1962, when that makes 80 years sir ? my recommendation is .....please go back to elementary school and learn to count then comeback to take your turn. don't take it personally, that you live in the USA, it doesn't mean you are educated, smart or rich.

The problem is, you don't look at us as Lao People but you look at us as the American. We still have family in Laos and we still care .Also some of us still sending money to help and support our families in Laos. That means that we still help the Laos economy indirectly. Every years a lot of dollars come from the united from the Lao nok into Laos. You criticize us that we can not speak Lao and read Lao and show your hate. I really don't understand. Why? Every year Lao government asking and begging China , Japan and the other countries for aid just to survive and still not enough . Also thousand of Chinese immigrant into Laos . And a lot of corruption in the government , you won't dare to speak up.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW. i see why we won't understand each other! we speak in different language here. please look up and tell me which one i said that i m not look at you as lao ppl. ? what i said: when the N Korea or Cuba revolution turns 80 years ready. please read it again and you will see, that you accused me that i hate lao ppl. FYI i can ask sao ngam ngam to love me, but she alway hates me. what i want to say, is you can not ask someone to love or hate you.

Show off and big guy that I never do and I respect Lao Tradition, and culture, I always do. If you mean culture and tradition by bribing the government officer just to get the thing done that I would not do if that you call culture and tradition. If for friendship ,yes of course I would give a gift.
I don't want to have any thing to do with the politic in Laos but would like to see Lao kid get the help they need...........
first of all i would like to let you know that i never go to school, but i heard a lot of ppl say, whatever you/ group of ppl do, it's always like politic and economic hand by hand. they said it's from 101 economic or politic class. i might be wrong. to the point, when you would like to do something good or better that means something has to be change. you want it or not, it is already politic don't you think so ?!

Honestly I have never been involve with any group and in any party of politics in my life. I only watch the TV news and read papers until saw those poor kids and would like to help . Then the more I made the research and the more I know and I just could not help myself how I feel about this . I know that how lucky I am to compare to those people and those kids. What ever you would call it does not really matter. I only wish something could be done for the better in the peaceful and civilize way. I mean no harn to any one. My heart is just broken to see my Home motherland to be like that.
Forget about politic! Just do the best for Lao PPL. They need help.
I went to many villages, many children don't have a good school like we do. Don't they need help?
It is simple, they need help from PPL from all over the world-if they can.
Right
I don't like to discuss about the politic and the religion but when I saw something like this. It just drove me into it without knowing. And I only wish and hope that could be resolved in the peaceful way.
If and when you go to Laos or know someone going there, go to Talatsao. There are many book stores there that sell writing and reading supply. Book is a little expensive but notebook is cheaper. They sell a package of 5 writing book for something like 25,000 kip. That is a little over $3. Buy 20 package of this writing book, some pencil, and maybe some reading book. Go out in the countryside, find a school and give the headteacher the stuff you bought. You might want to check the school and ask permission of your intention first and also see how many kids need the supply.
If you are really serious, donate few hundreds so they can fix the school. You sill need to follow the law.
All this big talk will never result to anything unless we do small step like that first.

Ake. You better shut up. Don't generalize Lao-American or American-Lao. Most of us want to help Lao Nai in the corruption free Lao society. Anyway, we can help Lao kids because they are not corrupted and they don't harbour the hatred against Lao Nork.
Yup!! I'm waiting to see wa jao si wao dii tae paak boh noh?
Good idea.
