Ntoo laus & Huab cua hais lus

MC40_OldTreeKuv tuaj Liberia, West neeg Asmeskas teb chaws me me. Lub sij hawm tas los no kuv mus, Kuv lub teb chaws ntawd tseem recovering los 14 xyoo ntawm civil rog tom qab electing Africa tus thawj maum tsoom txoov.

Thaum twg koj tawm hauv Liberia los khom hauv Canada, nws yuav tsis muab koj ntev mus cim tau qhov txawv ntau hauv culture. Ntau Liberians tom tsev rov qab yuav tsis pom zoo nrog kuv vim peb ntseeg tias peb cov culture yog zoo txuas rau North America vim lub teb chaws no yog tsim los ntawm cov dawb qhev nyob mem kuj. Tab sis nws twb ceev rau kuv hnov tias peb assertions no tsis ncaj ncees lawm.

Ntawm ib sab kuv lub teb chaws ntawm tus hauv paus chiv keeb, Kuv nyob hauv peb nyias teb chaws rau txawv peb continents tsis pub dhau lub xyoo caum lub xeem. Canada tam sim no yog plaub. Muab kuv kev, Nws yog ib qho yooj yim uas kuv qhia hais tias cov kev cai sib txawv. Cas tsis yog yooj yim, ho, twb ua rau kuv kho rau cov kev hloov hauv culture. Qhov no tuaj yuav qhia hais tias ib tug nyob hauv kuv lub teb chaws tias "tsob ntoo uas qub tsis raug khi yooj yim".

Ob xyoos kuv muaj nyob rau hauv Canada, Kuv muaj struggled uas hu rau cov neeg uas lawv lub npe. Yog hais tias koj xav txog zej zog wherein laus yog cov muaj hnub nyoog ib cohort, nej yuav to taub dab tsi kuv yuav tsum mus txog txhua hnub. Tab sis, qhov no yuav tsis tau ib qho teeb meem rau kuv 8 lub xyoo laus nkauj uas tsiv los Canada thaum nws xwb 20 lub hli. Nws hu tau yooj yim rau ib tus neeg laus txog lub hnub nyoog uas nws pog los ntawm nws lub npe. Kuv ua rau lawv nws tias qhov twg peb tuaj hauv no yuav tsis pub. Peb ntseeg hais tias lub npe hu rau yog thawj kauj ruam hauv uas qhia kev "hwm". Ces leeg muab txuas mus saib lub hnub nyoog ntxi thiab leej twg cov npe. Yog li tag nrho cov niam txiv nyob rau hauv lub zos no txiv ntxawm los yog niam hlob. Tsis txhob hu ua ntej cov npe, Kuv txoj kev ua neeg tsis tau hu mus rau lawv lub npe uas nyob rau lub sij hawm tig ua tau txawv txawv.

Tseem, Kuv sai pom tias tsiaj, yuav muab miv los yog ib feem ntawm ntau cov tsev neeg dog. Kuv qhuas cov tsiaj uas yuav kho li cas kom saib taus thiab hwm. Kuv yeej xav qhov nqi raising ib tus tsiaj, thiab xav thov txim rau phav phav tus neeg nyob hauv kuv lub teb chaws uas nyob rau ntawm ib duas tsawg tshaj li ib hnub. Qhov twg kuv tuaj, aub, thiab miv uas txawv. Txhua sij hawm, Kuv tus ntxhais twb qhia kuv nws xav ua ib Vet, Kuv xav tias nws yuav hais tau nws zus hauv Liberia. Vim tias Vet no tsis muaj hauj lwm tus me nyuam Liberia yuav npau suav txog vim cov tsiaj no tsis txhob coj mus vets. Besides, Kuv tsis nco pom ib seem nyob rau hauv cov khoom noj muab rau cov tsiaj tej khoom noj.

Cas kuv qhuas tshaj txog cov neeg Atlantic Canada yog lawv cov hospitality thiab siabzoo li cas lawv tseem. Nws amazes kuv li cas cov neeg pib sib tham los tham txog huab cua. Lawv yeej mus li no, "peb muaj ib tug zoo hnub twg hnubno". No zoo piav tes piav taw, rau kuv, lov tag nrho bearers kev sib txuas lus thiab ua ib qho kev lub platform rau kev sib txuas lus.

Muaj ib hnub leej txiv ob tug tub hluas me approached kuv thiab hais tias kuv yuav muab nws tug tub ntxiv Hmong-sounding npe. Kuv tus kheej xav tau tias lawv xav kom lawv lub npe thiaj li tuav mus rau ib yam dab tsi paub hauv no tshiab chaw. tab sis lawv cov txiv yuav yog adamant.

Xav txog tej no tam sim no, Kuv twb paub lawm tias leej txiv thiab kuv tau ob yam kho cov npe raws li kev cai cim – lawv txiv xav cov npe uas yuav pab tau nws tus tub zoo rau hauv no nyuas tshiab, thiab kuv xav tau hais txog lawv cov npe siv rau lub nyuas lawv muaj no Child left behind.

Xyoo kuv muaj cai thiab marveled ntawm cov nyiaj thiab txiav txim ntawm cov tsev neeg Nyab Laj thiab muab cia nrhau, ua hauj lwm ib thiab nyiam nyob hauv cov tshiab tsev. kuv xav li cas Ian thiab cov Neil muaj fared muaj lub npe lawv kuj tau raws li lawv launched hauv lawv Canadian neej. kuv vam tias lawv twb muab lawv zoo.

MC40_spring_festival_coupletsMy daughter and I moved to Canada in July 2011, and since then, I have been flat out working on my MA in Intercultural Communications, looking for work and starting a consulting business.

Txawm li cas los, during Chinese New Year of 2013, I was able to take a few hours one morning to volunteer my time and share with my daughter’s classmates and teacher. Mus nyeem ntawv →
