Refugees in Houston
Apr 16, 2024 12:00 PM
ZOOM ID: 927 1222 9996 Across the world, 50,000 people are forced to flee their homes each day as a result of conflict and oppression. Houston is one of the country’s leading cities in refugee resettlement, but resources to get refugees started in their new lives are limited. Settling into a new home can be very difficult, particularly for young people and those who have suffered trauma in their early lives.
Amaanah Refugee Services steps in to help, with services that assist with education, healthcare and overall wellbeing. Melissa Ramon is a Rotarian in the Rotary Club of West University in D5890 and recently joined the team at Amaanah to assist with Fundraising as their Major Gifts Officer. Amaanah recently celebrated their 15 years of service with a successful Gala on March 30, 2024.
