Những khó khăn nào khiến cộng đồng người Việt ít tham gia các phiên họp của Hội Đồng Giám Sát Quận?
Kính gửi mọi người,
Little Saigon San Diego xin chia sẻ một tin rất quan trọng.
Sau Hội Chợ Tết và những hoạt động suốt các năm qua, các cơ quan chính quyền đã tin tưởng mời chúng ta đứng ra tổ chức buổi thảo luận cộng đồng bằng tiếng Việt, trong chính cộng đồng của mình. Lần này, chúng ta có thể trao đổi bằng tiếng Việt, trong môi trường quen thuộc, không còn rào cản ngôn ngữ hay văn hoá.
Chúng tôi hiểu rằng những buổi thảo luận như vậy có thể không thú vị như các sinh hoạt hội chợ. Tuy nhiên, đây là cơ hội quý giá để tiếng nói của cộng đồng người Việt được lắng nghe. Mỗi ý kiến đóng góp là một viên gạch giúp xây dựng nền tảng cho một cộng đồng vững mạnh hơn cho con em và thế hệ sau.
Nếu chúng ta không tham gia và không lên tiếng, sự quan tâm và các cơ hội trong tương lai có thể sẽ chuyển sang những cộng đồng khác tích cực tham gia hơn. Vì vậy, sự hiện diện và tiếng nói của chúng ta hôm nay rất quan trọng để bảo đảm cộng đồng người Việt tiếp tục được lắng nghe và được quan tâm trong những bước kế tiếp.
Hơn nữa, nếu chúng ta không tham gia và không lên tiếng, tiếng nói của cộng đồng có thể sẽ bị thiếu vắng trong các quyết định quan trọng. Khi đó, người khác sẽ phải thay chúng ta nói về nhu cầu của cộng đồng mình.
Chúng tôi tha thiết mong các bác, các cô chú, anh chị dành thời gian tham gia và chia sẻ ý kiến của mình. Sự tham gia của quý vị thật sự rất quan trọng.
Xin chân thành cảm ơn mọi người.

As we commemorate 50 years of the Vietnamese community, we invite you to be part of a special reflection—an opportunity to honor the journey, resilience, and humanity of those who lived it.
In the spirit of bridging histories and fostering understanding, empathy, and shared belonging, we are proud to present the I Was There project—a growing collection of personal stories from ordinary Vietnamese individuals whose lives were forever shaped by displacement, survival, and the quiet strength it took to rebuild.
Through their reflections, you’ll witness not just hardship, but also the acts of kindness that carried them forward, and the deep gratitude that continues to shape their contributions to the communities they now call home.
We warmly invite you to explore these stories and join us in honoring the lived experiences that make up this rich and enduring tapestry.
Thank you for standing with us in remembrance, in learning, and in connection.

Join us for our San Diego Lunar New Year Festival Appreciation Party this Wednesday, February 25, from 5–8 PM.
The festival didn’t just appear — it took months of planning, hours of practice, and the dedication of countless helping hands. From posting flyers to sharing the word online, every contribution mattered.
We did it. Together. Now let’s celebrate.

Research Survey

🌟 What do you see as the most significant accomplishments of the Vietnamese community over the past 50 years?
🌱 What are your hopes and dreams for the next 50 years?
Your insights will help guide future projects, preserve our shared history, and shape the vision for a
stronger, more connected Vietnamese community.
Let your voice be heard. Help us honor the past and imagine the future—together.

Umbrella Trees
Next project on the Little Saigon Revitalization Initiatives is the Umbrella Tree with a mission to tagibilizing the intangible cultural assets that make up the identity, character, and customs of Little Saigon District. To do this, we aim to bring to life the inspirations stories and journeys of Vietnamese Americans immigrants that contributed to the identity, characters, and customs of the Little Saigon District. Approximately 20 unique stories will be engraved on 20 plaques, to be installed on 20 urban street planters, and will be placed within the 6-block stretch of the Little Saigon District of San Diego. The planter will feature an umbrella tree growing out of it. These planters with umbrella trees are currently being design by Tecture Design and Fabrication.
Good News!
Good News! LED Lights Coming to the Umbrella Trees - Funded by San Diego Community Power.
We’re excited to share that LED lights will soon be installed on the Umbrella Trees—thanks to your voices and input!
Several months ago, Little Saigon San Diego, in collaboration with APAC of Hoover High School, conducted a community assessment survey to better understand what matters most to you. One of the top requests we received was clear: more lighting on sidewalks for a safer and more inviting environment.
As part of our ongoing Little Saigon Revitalization Initiatives, we’re committed to transforming public sidewalks and city streets into vibrant, welcoming spaces that reflect the spirit and needs of our community. These LED lights will be powered by our very own solar energy system, promoting sustainability and environmentally friendly solutions.
This project is a direct result of your feedback—and a testament to what’s possible when community voices lead the way.
Thank you for helping us shape a brighter, safer, and more beautiful Little Saigon!

The garden will include an interactive sculpture of Vietnamese Boat People dedicated to the courage, determination and willpower of the many Vietnamese refugees who never yielded to suppression and to honor those refugees who perished while still holding onto the dream of freedom.
