ABOUT:
On April 30th,1975 the Vietnam War ended in tragedy when the communist forces took over. Over 2 million people evacuated from their beloved homeland to take on a life changing journey towards freedom that sometimes ended in vain. The evacuees, including our parents, grandparents, and many other family members faced hardships ranging from communist attacks to merciless pirates. For days, they were crammed on boats traveling towards unfamiliar terrain and an uncertain future. Hence, each year, April 30th is known as “Black April”. The younger generation of Vietnamese Americans should forever remember the Fall of Saigon, which is why Bandaid is holding this event. This day is important to our culture and our past. This Black April event is a day of remembrance and awareness of this tragic event that occurred 35 years ago. It is a reminder that we must be grateful for the life that we have today.
In addition, this event hopes to emphasize the importance of education and recognize anyone who has had family or friends that had to overcome hardships to start a new life in America. Everyone is encouraged to attend.
For those of you participating in Vovinam Linh Son, Vien Thong Tu, and Tu Bi Dao Trang’s upcoming belt testing, please fill out the registration form if you have not yet done so. When completed, please bring it to your instructor on your next class day or email it to VovinamLinhSonHouston@yahoo.com
