HONG KONG — The pretty
Vietnamese child proudly said "hel
lo” and counted to 10.
Tien Hue-quan also knows how to
say “goodbye” and put together a
simple sentence.
But the most important English
word she has mastered is “America,”
the goal of months at sea in a perilous
flight from Vietnam and an indefinite
stay with her family at a Hong Kong
refugee center.
Tien, at 8, is one of the deluge of
“boat people” who sailed to Hong
Kong’s shores in 1979 now benefiting
from a crash language course aimed
at all 63,000 refugees awaiting
acceptance by Western countries,
primarily the United States.
When refugee coordinators Karl
Stumpf and Dorothy Lee toured the
United States, Canada, England,
West Germany and Switzerland to
encourage those countries to hike
their quotas for refugees from Hong
Kong, they, found resettlement an
often painful process.
“These refugees were not able to
speak the language at all — not even
to say ‘good morning’ or use the
necessary words to shop, Lee said.
She and Stumpf, director of the
Hong Kong Christian Service, re
turned to Hong Kong to start lan
guage classes coupled with orienta
tion courses to provide refugees with
some knowledge of their future
homes.
By January, the pair had several
thousand children and adults study-

Due to difficulties with the mail service, it will be
necessary to take several group photos again. A
representative of Yearbook Associates, the 1980
AGGIELAND photographer, will be contacting your group
sometime this week if he has not already done so, to
arrange a second photo session.
We’re very sorry about the problem, but please do
everything possible to cooperate in setting a photo time
as soon as possible.
