Last year the resulting sales from those two stores was $200.000. and has proven to be a key to Hmong families financial stability. In a gesture of gratitude for this essential help. the Laotian community donated a beautiful textile artwork which was recently auctioned off at VISTAs 20th anniversary celebration. There are more than 140 VISTA volunteers working on 28 other refugees projects in 21 States. These volunteers are coordinating and expanding programs that provide badly needed employment. literary classes. housing. and legal aid. It is hard to know just how many homeless have been sheltered. how many sick are cared for. how many hungry are fed. only because VISTA volunteers cared enough to help their fellow countrymen.
