Completing the Census helps us see the progress Lao have made in education, business and community and family development. It’s an easy and exciting opportunity to learn more about the changes we’ve seen in the last ten years and to see where we can go in the future.
Minnesota has the third largest population of Lao in America based on the last Census figures. At one point, the Lao were the 6th largest population in Minnesota with nearly 25,000 residents. How has that changed? Let’s find out!
Among the biggest problems we're concerned with this year are apathy, fear and ignorance about what the Census 2010 is and isn't and showing the community how to avoid scams from unscrupulous individuals pretending to be a part of the Census count. Remember! The Census will never ask you for social security numbers or bank account numbers. Information is confidential and anonymous!
If you'd like to get involved in Census 2010 efforts in the Minnesota community contact us at the Lao Assistance Center. Pany Siharath is taking the lead on these efforts at the Lao Assistance Center and you can contact him at pany@laocenter.org or call the Lao Assistance Center at (612) 375-4967.
