Dear All,
We've had some incredible couple of months since the end of Ramadan and the beginning of Hajj, branching out in new and adventurous ways within our community and spending some meaningful time together along the way.
We ended Ramadan on a high note, with an iftar with children who had lost their parents to the war in Syria, and were able to secure funding to extend the celebrations to eid and purchase toys for the different groups. At the same time, we continued working with girls and young women who have been impacted by war and continued supporting them on their journeys for self-actualization.
More recently, we've been busy extending a partnership to other regions of the country beyond the two major cities of Amman and Irbid. The need for support, environmental and social justice work extends beyond the major cities and is more desperately needed due to lack of resources outside of the capital.
Part of the new partnership we're working on will include an environmental justice component similar that the model utilized in Waterbury, CT with our team there. This program will be provided to community leaders, and students to support them in understanding environmental justice, food security, and environmental health needs of their communities.
To cap a wonderful summer, we've started looking for a part-time coordinator to support our increasing workload and to continue expanding the work we're doing in Jordan and beyond.
