̽»¨¾«Ñ¡

In September, the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ met with a group of students and teachers from Goddard Eisenhower High School. The students wanted to learn about the work of the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ and ways in which they could contribute to the needs of the refugee population in our community. Students toured the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ office and received a presentation about the services ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ provides, history of refugee services and ways in which they could contribute. As a result of the student’s ambition and interest, they decided to carry out a donation drive at their school.  

To initiate the project, the students conducted presentations in classes throughout the school, sharing what they had learned and encouraging others to join in. As a result of their efforts the students collected more than 400 hygiene and cleaning items that were donated to ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ and by extension, the refugee clients that ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ serves. The staff and clients at the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ all the students at  Eisenhower High School a BIG THANK YOU for their hard work, contribution and for their commitment to making #RefugeesWelcome in Wichita!
