DESCRIPTION:

The Vietnamese American Young Leaders Association of New Orleans (VAYLA-NO) is organizing a youth townhall meeting. Because of the halt in the seafood industry, 80% of Vietnamese families are affected throughout Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.
Our goals for the Town Hall Meeting are:
-To educate the community about the economic and environmental impact of the oil spill in a youth friendly way
-To discuss, in small groups, how the oil spill has affect our lives.
-To learn which issues we need to address to protect our environment and community.
