Vietnamese Association of Nha Den on 5-9-23--Pakse copy




Vietnamese Association of Nhà Đèn Neighborhood. I've seen three of these associations, and this is the smallest. Unlike the one in Phonexay, it has no classes for kids and isn't even a community center. Still, it's a place for Vietnamese to meet to solve common problems. If someone is gravely sick, money can be raised, I imagine. In Luang Prabang, I saw a Vietnamese grave obviously paid for by the deceased's neighbors, for it didn't even list her last name or where she was born. They simply knew her as Mrs. Fat Five.
