Quarterly Report: Welcoming New Refugees to the Bay Area

By Grace Fong | Director of Marketing

PRERNA has been busy welcoming new refugee families to the San Francisco Bay Area! On Sunday, June 3, 2018, PRERNA helped a newly arrived refugee family from Afghanistan resettle into their new apartment. Furniture was moved in, everything including the internet and wi-fi connections was set up and we took a trip to a local store to purchase basic household supplies.

In addition to the Afghanistan family that we helped resettle, we assisted a recently arrived single refugee mother and her 14-year old son who also moved into the same building complex. We are also seeking affordable housing for a Yemen family of eight who is currently living in temporary quarters. They have six children from the age of three to 23 years old. Our team leads are ready to help them move into their new home, enroll the children in school, set the family members up with medical checkups, and find employment for the adults.

We give a huge thanks to our all-volunteer team members who contributed their time and muscle to make this happen. If you are interested in joining PRERNA to help local refugees in the U.S., please contact us at volunteering@prerna4refugees.org.

With gratitude,
