Thoai Nguyen, CEO Thoai Nguyen, CEO

SEAMAAC began our journey almost 25 years ago with the clear and simple mission to support immigrant and refugees to adjust and thrive in the Philadelphia area. This journey has allowed SEAMAAC to bear witness to the enduring and ever-changing hardships that confront the refugee and immigrant communities. As SEAMAAC enters its 25th year, I feel privileged to serve with such an exceptionally dedicated group of staff, board and volunteers. SEAMAACs success belongs to them and to the thousands of friends and patrons who support SEAMAACs work through the generous contributions of time and financial gifts.
New Route
New Route to Community Health
Our Stories, Our Health was awarded $225,000 by New Routes to Community Health, a program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Benton Foundation designed to improve the health of immigrants in the United States through media created by immigrants. Here in Philadelphia, Our Stories, Our Health is a collaborative media health initiative aiming to engage immigrant Laotian and Vietnamese seniors in the process of identifying and describing health needs through personal storytelling, video production, and discussion about health in the Southeast Asian community.

SEAMAAC Elders Council Newsletter
SEAMAAC'S Elders Council was founded in November 2007 as an advisory body for programs serving the elderly. The Elders Council project seeks to restore the dignity of Southeast Asian elderly living in the United States by reestablishing their roles as leaders in the community. Members of the Elders Council help to advise the senior-serving programs at SEAMAAC’s through their lifelong experience and wisdom. Through a collaboration with the Temple University’s Center for Intergenerational Learning the Elders Council produced the first issue of their newsletter.
Community Treasures: Contributions of Older Immigrants and Refugees
SEAMAAC participated in a project lead by the Center for Intergenerational Learning at Temple University. To learn about the state of civic involvement among immigrant elders, focus groups and individual interviews were conducted in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, Atlanta Georgia and Orange County California with 99 immigrant elders from seven major ethnolinguistic groups. Key informants in the communities were also interviewed including Community Based Organizations to learn about the current efforts that sustain and promote the civic roles of elders who are foreign-born.
WHYY Learning Lab Video
Our Stories, Our Health is a project that has been teaching Vietnamese and Laotian elders to shoot video interviews about health topics they identified as important to their communities. The footage will be used in health workshops throughout the Southeast Asian community in the Philadelphia area. The Learning Lab has provided the video training, which is the focus of this behind-the-scenes look at the project.
