Thuy Loan Nguyen, program coordinator at BPSOS-Louisville, talks with students in the ongoing citizenship class.
June 16, 2009: The office of the BPSOS-Louisville branch has been a hub for preparations and anticipation as community leaders gather to plan a fundraising concert for the local Amerasian Group. At the same time, citizenship classes have been rolling along, providing Louisville Vietnamese-Americans with an avenue to civic rights and responsibilities, including the ever-important right to vote!
“It’s an exciting time for the Louisville office,” said branch manager Brooke Ha. “We have so many valuable leaders stepping up to take important roles, and we’re grateful for that.”
Here are more scenes from Louisville, where Ha, her colleagues, and volunteers have been hard at work engaging the Vietnamese-American community:
