Friend Txianeng,
Thanks for the update. We will rely on you and YT to inform us on this
matter.

New Friend Nruabsiab, welcome again to SCH. I'm sorry, my question was
not clear. To me, any SCH participant is considered friend regardless
of age and sex.

To all whom thought the father used the donated money for his own
pocket,
I don't know how the funeral(s) for these kids were held back then.
But I believe that it should had been six funerals, because Hmong is
tabooed to run more than one funerals for the same family at the same
time. I strongly believe that the funerals would had cost at least
$100K for the six children (Note that an average funeral for kids back
then was about $20K). I don't think he would have any money left over
from the donations, plus he might have owed many of his relatives who
lent him the money for those funerals.
