This is sad Embarrassed

Some people are poor themselves. They can't help other. Some of the homeless people might be drug addicted or have mental problem. There're many reason for homelessness. I don't think government have any social program to help homeless people. It's like that everywhere in the world nobody care about you when you're poor.

That's what the government is for: to help it's citizens.

So, Il Laos, if you're poor: You're poor?
Thats it?

In Asia if you're poor that's your problem. It's hard to moved up the ladder or out of poverty if you don't have connection or born rich. Not like Western nation anybody can go to college and find a good paying jobs and out of poverty.

I has relative in Laos some are poor farmer and some are rich, but they don't seem to help each other. I send them money all the time.

Cool

You and your brother must be part of the older generation that ACTUALLY has any ties to Laos. It's good that you guys are helping out 'pi-nong' like that. That's what family is for.
As for me, personally, I don't really contribute as much as I should. Maybe once or twice a year I'll help my 'pi-nong' out. I have TOO many! There's always something that needs fixing or SOMEONE that needs fixing. My olds don't mind though, as long as they don't gamble it all away and don't haul all their hard-earned to the 'wong-pai'.

I still had strong ties with Laos, but some new generation doesn't because they're born here, buy they are proud to be Lao. Some of our relative are rich so we only help the poor one. They're poor but have house and farm. Sometime they alway ask for money.

I'm a lucky one. I'm not a refugees and never been to Siamese refugees camp. Heard a horrible story on how Siamese treat some Lao, Viet, Khmer refugee like animals. My relative sponsor me in 1990.

Yes you are lucky! I can't believe the 'comies' let you out of jail (Laos) that easily. Do think I could sponsor some of my cousins so they can come and work? Better than fulfilling the peasants fate, dont you think?

Maybe the admin' can answer this one. I know she's spying on us. She's always eavesdropping.

I'm not sure now. I think you can still sponsor, but in the US it take about 10 year to bring relative. But it's easier if they just come visited for a month.

Living in Laos I never has problem with Commies or been in jail. I was a kids living a normal live. They don't bother you as long as you don't get involve in politics or talking about it. In Laos Life is pretty good and simple if you have money. That's why many Lao expats build house and retired there.
