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
