Celebrating Success: The Conclusion of Our 8-Week Course for Afghani Refugees
Introduction
Over the past six weeks, we have had the privilege of working with a group of Afghani refugees in Mercer County, NJ. Our goal was to provide them with the skills and knowledge to thrive in their new environment. Today, we celebrate their achievements and reflect on this incredible journey.
The course covered a variety of subjects designed to help participants integrate into their new community. We focused on English language skills, job readiness, and cultural adaptation. Each week, our tutors dedicated their time and expertise to ensure that every participant felt supported and empowered.
Key Achievements
Throughout the course, participants showed remarkable progress. Here are some of the key achievements:
- Improved English proficiency
- Increased Digital Proficiency, initally none of our students could send an email and only 1 could use google translate efficiently. At the end, all 15 students are confidently navigating both platforms.
- Enhanced understanding of the "how?" of technology
The success of this course would not have been possible without the support of the local community. Our volunteers and collaboration with SARI played a vital role in our success. They provided resources, mentorship, and encouragement to our participants.
We are already planning future programs to continue supporting Afghani refugees and even branching out to other communities in need for help. We aim to build on the success of this initiative and offer more comprehensive support in the coming months. Our commitment to helping these individuals thrive remains unwavering.
Gratitude and Recognition
We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone involved in making this course a success. From our dedicated tutors to the participants who worked tirelessly, each person contributed to this achievement. We also recognize the resilience and determination of the Afghani refugees who participated.
Final Thoughts
In conclusion, the 8-week course for Afghani refugees has been a remarkable journey of learning and growth. We celebrate the success of our participants and look forward to continuing our mission of support and empowerment. Together, we can build a stronger, more inclusive community.
