Suzy Ismail – Teen Refugee Integration

			Salam Alikum Amna madonn Mubarak
to you and your families. I just
		

			wanted to take a moment to share
with you a little information
		

			about a campaign that we have
launched this Ramadan to help our
		

			resettled refugees. The campaign
can be found at WWW dot launch
		

			good.com backslash Cornerstone
refugee.
		

			Over the past year, Cornerstone
has been working hard to develop
		

			teen empowerment workshops, and
parenting workshops, where we can
		

			help refugees who have settled
into us over the past several
		

			years, to better integrate in
their communities, in their
		

			schools and in their societies.
Now, in those campaigns in those
		

			those programs that we've
developed, we've found a huge
		

			poll, where families and teenagers
in particular are grateful for the
		

			food and the security and the
safety that they've been provided
		

			with. But now they're seeking
something more a sense of
		

			belonging, a sense of community, a
sense of feeling, that they really
		

			are a part of American society.
And so we're putting together a
		

			trip to Six Flags, which is
something that many of the teenage
		

			girls had asked of us, and we need
your help in order to facilitate
		

			that and to make that happen.
We're also working with different
		

			organizations to provide further
counseling one on one counseling,
		

			more positive parenting workshops,
and more teen empowerment
		

			programs. So please join us this
Ramadan in helping others by
		

			donating whatever you
[email protected] backslash,
		

			Cornerstone refugees, and if
you're not able to give anything
		

			yourself, please spread the word
and share the campaign with others
