Re: Helping refugees, May 8.
Letter-writer Steve D’Eça talked about the successful way most of the Vietnamese, Cambodian and Loatian “boat people” had handled their transition to a new beginning in Canada in the early 1980s, especially by not being a burden to the welfare system.
As soon as the refugees set foot in Canada, they were determined to learn English or French, depending where they were settled. They were eager to take any menial job which gave them some money to be self-sufficient and, if possible, to help their families here or back home. There was lots of hard work and sacrifices involved, but it was in their culture to help at any cost their family and afterwards the community.

They had created self-help groups with the purpose of helping the most vulnerable among themselves. They promoted the preservation of their heritage and traditions. They nurtured the unforgettable stories of their odyssey drifting in the South China Sea in their quest of freedom so that younger generations would not forget their legacy: the victory of freedom over oppression. They had created a strong sense of solidarity and friendship by volunteering free work and donating money to events when asked.
They connected with other people through feelings of humility, recognition and gratitude, work ethics and family loyalties. They were eager to look ahead and build a future. They did not sit and wait for a welfare cheque, as they wanted to become full contributors to the country which had welcomed them.
