Hi Mike,

Here is an outline of the video project. Please forward this to your friends in the film/tv industry and let us know if they are interested in the project.

We will be doing a production of apprx 20 min video about healthcare for seniors in Vietnamese. We have the English director and the filming crew. We will be doing casting in February and schedule to shoot towards the end of March in the Baltimore area.

What we are looking for is a bilingual person who’s familiar with video production process to be the liaison between the cast members and the rest of the team during pre-production, filming, and post-production because none of my staff and filming crew speaks Vietnamese.

The general areas we need assistance in are as follow:

· audition and casting process in Feb

· coordination with cast members before and at the rehearsals in March

· directorial facilitation on the shooting day late March

· Editing process

If you can refer me a few potential candidates who may be a good fit for this role, I’d appreciate it.

Thank you.

(8) D.C. Office of Human Rights

Greetings! The D.C. Office of Human Rights (OHR) is once again launching

its public accommodations testing program to test D.C. Government

agencies on their ability to serve non-English speakers. Attached you

will find the agency’s recruitment flyer. We are seeking testers on a

part-time basis who are bilingual in English and one of the following

languages: Amharic, Chinese, French, Korean, Spanish or Vietnamese. The

project will take place in the District of Columbia and all interested

applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. This is an

excellent opportunity for detail-oriented individuals who are interested

in working within the field of civil rights. These tests will have an

impact on the service provision of D.C. Government agencies. A pilot

program had been implemented during fiscal year 2009, which weighed

heavily on District agencies’ compliance ratings with the D.C. Language

Access Act of 2004. To view a copy of this report with baseline test

data, please visit www.ohr.dc.gov and click on the “2009 Language Access

Compliance Report” icon on the main site.

Please feel free to forward this information to any interested

applicant. All inquiries should be directed to my attention at either

Aryan.Rodriguez@dc.gov or at (202) 727-3942. Thank you, and please feel

free to contact me with any questions you may have.

Sincerely,

Aryan Rodriguez

January 28th, 2010


Within the last two weeks, Ket Doan has raised $4,070.25 to help with the relief effort in Haiti. Ket Doan adds another $929.75 from our Disaster Fund, which totals up to $5000 even. Thank you volunteers for standing at Eden Center for 3 days 1/16, 1/17 & 1/23 with donation boxes. Most importantly, thank you Donors for making this fund raising project a success.

(Unicef Receipt) 100% of the fundraise was sent to UNICEF (website) to aid Haiti in the recovery process – but more significantly to help the Children as they are always the most vulnerable population in any natural disaster, and UNICEF is there for them. Please continue to support this effort as it is certainly not over yet!

Hi Tri,
Thank you very much for helping to post our event on websites. Regrettably MVMA has
decided to cancel the Cho Tet Maryland this year due to low response from prospective
vendors. Hopefully we’d do it next year. Warm regards.
