Vietnamese Boat People Reach Out to Help New Refugees, ‘We Never Forget’

An older generation of refugees are rallying support for those fleeing the Syrian conflict.

Vietnamese boat people — refugees who fled that country as it fell to communists after the Vietnam War — are launching donation drives in the far-flung countries where they landed and settled.

Mountains of donated socks, coats, and other cold weather gear – 5,000 items for refugees in all – piled up at Cafe Soya, a restaurant run by a Vietnamese-Chinese refugee family in Birmingham, England.
