Last time I went to des moines, iowa, was about 10 years ago. My
friends there told me a very good story about how 'unity' can really
benefit the ones who united. the story goes like this,
The thai-dam community in iowa, especially in des moines, is quite big
and the biggest in America. The community leaders need a big land to
make their community center for celebrating their cultural events and
activities, a kind of public park for their newer generation to use
and enjoy.
They didn’t go to the bank, but collect money from volunteer families,
ask them to put money in according to their affordable. Due to their
united spirit, they can get enough money to buy a huge land out of the
city center, the empty forest. They take care of it and enjoy using it
for 10 years or so, then the development come. The price of land at
that area went up high. They sell half of the land with the price more
than what they paid for it. The people who put money in get their
money back. Everybody is happy. the land that you see in youtube, even
half of the original land is still huge more than enough for their
children and their community to use and enjoy, and that's fro 'free'
so to speak!
‘unity’ pays for it.
smart leaders makes it happens, with a bit help from luck
that’s good story of how the lao thai-dam have their free land in the
free world

Post by CASALAOAre Thai Dam practice Buddhism like us Low Land Lao? And why there are so many Thai Dam left Laos? Are they part of the numbers that left Laos after the communist took over in 1975?
