Lawrence life new for Laotian refugees
By RANDY SEBA
Staff Write
When Tran Ba Huang, a 28-year-old Laotian refugee, arrived with his family of six in Lawrence last Monday, he was hoping the new adversary afraid of the uncertainties.
Behina! the Trans were eight months in a crowded refuge camp in Thailand, where thousands of displaced people live.
Ahead of them was the challenge of beginning anew in a country with ways of living and speaking radically different from anything they had known before.
Tran; his 24-year-old wife, Lau Thi Luyen; his wife's sister, Lau Thi Nga, 15; and his four sons, ranging in age from 3 months to 5 years, brought with them little more than the clothes they wore. Tran speaks some English but his family speaks French. He will be missed for his family in Lawrence, and no possessions with which to begin a new life.
"On the airplane I was afraid," Tran said.
"When we land, I was no longer afraid."
HOWEVER, A warm reception by former refugees and conversed townpeople helped the organization feel welcome.
The Trans are being aided in their adjustment to American life by the Lawrence Unitarian Fellowship Committee, the family's local sponsor. The committee sponsored two refuge families who settled in Lawrence last year. Clothes, toys, eating utensils and a temporary place to live have been donated for the Trans by members of the refuge families. The Trans have also been dinner guests of several of the families.
The main thrust of the committee, however, is to aid the Trans in long-term employment.
TRAIN SAID his most important goal was to find a job. In Laos, he worked as an electrician and, for the past four years, stocked pharmaceutical goods for a pay of about $50 a month. The committee would like to find an electrician's job for Tran. He has been working in electrical systems much different from American systems, and may be inadequate.
The problem of permanent housing may be solved already for the Tran family. Paul Brotsman, associate professor of social welfare and a member of the committee, said that the Trans had applied to live at New York University on Haskell. Brotsman said that the family might be able to move in seven or eight days.
"We're waiting for a four-bedroom apartment to open up." Brotman said. This would be good if they can live there without having to move in and would be close at hand to help them."
Medical aid such as shots for the children, child care, help in adjusting to American foods and assistance in shopping will be provided by the committee.
"ONE OF the committee members, for quite a while, will go with them around
Transportation is also being provided. In Vientiane, Laos, where Tran worked as a stocker, he owned a Toyota. Tran said that when he left Laos, a new Toyota sold for about $1,200. A bargain price for Americans, it is a high price to Laotians.
The house will provide offices, whose rent the coordinators hope will pay for the house.
Tran said that although his wife had worked as a dressmaker in Laos to supplement his $50-a-month salary, they still worked in a basement with his sister's sister. Lui Tha Ng, took care of the children while the parents worked. They lived in a one-story, two-room house meaning about nine by 28 feet. The front room was cleaning and the back room for preparing food.
Three floors are needed because each floor will provide different services. Traffic through secluded areas must be kept minimal, Gordon said.
It was in Vientiane that Tran acquired his knowledge of English. He went to classes at a large library and also learned some French.
TRAN SAID learning French and English was good preparation because most refugees went to France, Australia, West Germany and the United States. He said that "many, many people" wanted to come to United States but that it was difficult to do.
Tran said refugees had to stay in the camps at all times and had nothing to do except grow vegetables or flowers. The American government provides the camps and basic necessities for the refugees. He was there when most of the refugees were left in the camp, waiting to be reunited.
Several organizations help find homes for refugees by locating local sponsors. When a sponsor is found he is matched to the next location in the country. The Tran family came to Lawrence through the efforts of the U.S. Catholic Conference Services of the U.S. Catholic Conference.
Tran said most of his fears were past and that he liked Lawrence. Although many adjustments lie ahead, he said a beginning would be better than it would have been in the past.
A 30-hour airplane trip brought the family from Thailand to Lawrence. The first stop of the exhausting trip was Tokyo. An hour later they were on their way to San Francisco, where they had a two-hour wait before going on to Lawrence.
"I cannot live under the Communists," Tran said.

"We want to find a house with three stories and a basement," Susan Davis, building coordinator, said. "The problem is that we don't many three story houses available now."
Several Lawrence women have been meeting recently to draw up the plans for the house, she said, and the next major step is to locate an available building. No date has been set for the opening.
"Women's Space" will provide a place for Lawrence women to come together to grow creatively and will provide services not currently offered in Lawrence," Julie Gordon, one of several organizers of the house, said yesterday.

One office will provide clinical help such as legal assistance and personal counseling for women, Gordon said. Workshop space will be used for classes in self-defense, carpentry and survival skills. There will be room for dance, music and painting.
"Survival space" will provide a place for women having problems at home, she said. Gordon said there would be strictly "women's space" where Lawrence women can come together to grow, relate interpersonally and get support from other women.
"It will be open to every woman in the community," Gordon said. "I feel it will play an important role because I don't know what to do." Women are geared toward these women's needs.
