It is in a hard way to keep a good Hmong tradition New Year
event celebration for what we had in our home land. Life is too complex in here the United States, we have not
enough time to prepare and practic the skills and other tools that we always use in the New Year Event celebration.
there is only three decades ago and life has been changed a lots for many of us will not know or want to keep these skills
and tradition celebration of Hmong New Year as well and truely as our grand-grand fathers celebrated New Year Event. Sooner,
our children will not remember how it looks like and don't know how to celebrate it, therefor, it is hard for them to keep
our Hmong Tradition New Year Event Celebration and also spoken the language in their generation. We would like to find
the way to keep Hmong Culture and to teach our children and grand-children about our tradition customers before
loosing all. It is the time to make it happens for Hmong time is running out.
