When I first met Nguyen, it was probably nine or ten weeks after he had arrived in Los Angeles, and he was feeling very lonely.He could speak very little English and he was in culture shock.He was working at the local greengrocer's and was living with a friend of mine, Cathy Kelly, in a big house with some other people , who needed housing. I met him one day when she was having a party to help people like him get to know others in the neighborhood.

La primera vez que vi a Nguyen fue probablemente nueve o diez semanas despuÃ©s de su llegada a Los Ãngeles, y se sentÃa muy solo. SabÃa muy poco inglÃ©s y sufrÃa un trauma por el cambio de cultura. Trabajaba en la fruterÃa local y vivÃa con una amiga mÃa, Cathy Kelly, en una casa grande con algunas personas mÃ¡s que necesitaban alojamiento. Lo conocÃ un dÃa en que ella habÃa organizado una fiesta para ayudar a gente como Ã©l a conocera otras personas en el barrio.
