Ms. Thong Sy

Ms. Thong Sy Soundara moved here from Vientiane, Laos in the late 90's. She likes Philadelphia because it has a very strong Laotian community. She recently moved to a new house with her husband because his illness has made him unable to climb stairs, but they made sure to stay close to SEAMAAC so she can still attend Jook breakfast on Tuesdays.

Carved in Clay

I have been making lots of friends and have been photographed by many a tourist as I make these sculptures onsite at The Bird Park. The stories on the sculptures are interviews from Ms. Ba of Saigon, Vietnam and Mr. Chankong from Vientienne, Laos. Coming next, Ms. Bay and Ms. Thongsy.
