APAS is in the process of putting together a business directory for the community. We are collecting information on businesses that are back or new post-Katrina. The directory will include any businesses or organization who are targeting the Asian communitites or by the Asian communities. Please contact Vatsana at cvatsana@yahoo.com or 971-570-2467.
The Asian Heritage Festival is held each Spring. This year the festival took place at Audubon Zoo and was a great success!
Thanks to a generous donation of land by Ms. Sudaporn Boonmonthira, plans are underway to build the center at 6245 Wainwright Drive, across from the UNO Campus.
APAS seeks to preserve the experiences of Asians living in the New Orleans area in part through the documentation of cultural practices (such as festivals) and the experiences of Asian individuals or oral traditions (such as storytelling).
Originally created by the late Shaie-Mei Temple, the "Asian Bayou" website is recreated here in its entirety.
APAS fundraising efforts for relief to communities throughout the world struck by natural disaster.
