We have great new ideas for this year and we'd like to share them with you every month. Your child here will continue learning with older Lao volunteers, most of wich are either alumni or students at the University of Minnesota. The Youth Program here at LAOAmerica is intended to provide grat role models for your children while engaging them in fun activities. Our volunteers are interested in giving back to the community and educating our youth in making correct decisions, thinking about higher education, and exposing them to the ideas of community service. Our volunteers are excited to work with your child. In the next pages you'll get to see who your child is working with and see what they' re studying. You will also get a chance to see them within the next few months at future events. The purpose of this letter is to inform you every month what is going on here at LAOAmerica. You'll never be wondering what your child is doing or going to do each month. We are hoping to involve the parents as much as possible in our Youth Program because it is very important that you at least know what is going on. In the next issues of this newsletter, I will arrange for it to be bilingual so that you can understand completely. If you have any questions, you can give LAO America a call or come by on any Saturday for a visit or observation. Parents are always welcome during our sessions and programming. Thanks!
