Above: Sauyuth Tep is a counselor to survivors of the Khmer Rouge. |
A group of Cambodian American women cluster around a table in the center of the room, conversing in animated, yet hushed tones. Their children dash around, some playing with a rubber ball, others scurrying in and out of the door. Though carefully applied makeup brightens their faces, many wear worn and set expressions. Three times a week, they meet at the Neighborhood Learning Center (NLC) in East Oakland to attend computer, parenting and ESL classes. Several streets over, the Asian Community Mental Health Services, which runs NLC, is bustling with activity. Suon In, a family counselor, speaks quietly with his clients. This is where people go when they need help — either to talk about their memories of Cambodia, or find assistance for family members. |
