The Chinese Creative Workshop was founded to aid new immigrant children "to become quickly integrated into the community by teaching dance, art, and cultural classes. The program was largely successful and hosted anywhere from 30-50 children each year, but was ended in the [19]80s due to lack of government funding." [see: website of the 1882 Foundation, and its D.C. Historic Walking Tour for Chinatown].
