Let's Be Social

The New AP team has been hard at work providing needed support for the refugees we serve. Swipe for a snapshot of what we’ve done over the past few months. #refugees #covid19

Nauru is a tiny island country in Micronesia, northeast of Australia. It has been used by Australia for “offshore processing” for those who are fleeing their home countries and seeking asylum in Australia. The conditions on the island are incredibly difficult as refugees have lived in overcrowded tents, suffered from water shortages and an overall lack of resources. Communication outside of the island was restricted, and refugees would be punished for doing so if caught. After 15 years of reports of the mistreatment of refugees and difficult living conditions, the United States Government came to an agreement with the Australian Government to accept about 1,250 refugees. This process began in September of 2017, and Mutahir was one the refugees from Nauru that New American Pathways served. Mutahir arrived in Nauru in 2013 when he was 23 years old, trying to escape persecution in Pakistan, his home country. He was alone––his wife and children still in Pakistan. He described the conditions as being terrible: “There was no future.” The work they were able to find on the island only paid about $2-$3 an hour, allowing for no accumulation of wealth, and they weren’t allowed to leave the island or communicate with anyone outside of the island. For six years, Mutahir was separated from his family. After being on the island for five years, he received an offer he could not refuse. In November 2016, it was announced that a deal had been made with the United States to resettle people in detention on Nauru and Manus Islands. There was very little public information available about how many of these refugees would be resettled by the United States, but Mutahir was one of those people. In 2018, he began the process that would eventually lead him to the United States a year later. Read more on our website: http://newamericanpathways.org/nauru-and-resettlement/

Yesterday was the last day for this year’s AmeriCorps Cohort at New AP. They had an amazing impact and we will miss them! Several members shared reflections on their year of service for this month’s Thought Leader article. Check it out in the ‘News and Events’ section of our website!

We love this picture New AP volunteer Becky sent us! She’s been dedicated to tutoring new Americans in English, even remotely during the pandemic. Check out the ‘News and Events’ page of our website to read about Becky and two other volunteers who are continuing to serve during this time. www.newamericanpathways.org/news-events/

We are very excited to share that we have launched a new and improved website! We aimed to create a space that celebrates the contributions of new Americans while being a resource for our community. A huge thanks goes to Treebird Branding for working with us to make this vision a reality. Check it out! www.newamericanpathways.org

Make sure you mark your calendar for Saturday, August 29th for our annual fundraising event, Red, White, and New! The event will be virtual this year. Check out www.redwhiteandnew.org to learn more! #rwn2020

Out of the 30 million people trafficked internationally, about 3.8 million are domestic workers. Rafael used to be one of those 3.8 million people, but after receiving his T-visa and connecting with New American Pathways, Rafael was able to begin making his dreams come true, starting with reuniting with his family. Read the fully story on our Facebook page! #refugeeswelcome

New American Pathways will honor Samuel Johnson with this year’s Friend of Freedom award. An orphaned refugee from Liberia, Samuel and his siblings came to Atlanta in 2007. A 2009 graduate of Holy Innocents Episcopal School and a 2013 graduate of Mercer University, Sam is the founder of two non-profit organizations: My Vision for Refugees, providing clean water, education, support and services to orphaned and displaced children now living in Guinea who were victims of civil wars in Liberia, Cote d’Ivoire and Sierra Leone, and Home of Hope, an orphanage in N’zerekore, Guinea. New American Pathways is especially delighted to be presenting the Friend of Freedom Award to Samuel since he and his family were resettled by Refugee Resettlement and Immigration Services of Atlanta (RRISA), one of our two predecessor agencies. #rwn2020

Make sure you mark your calendar for Saturday, August 29th for our annual fundraising event, Red, White, and New! The event will be virtual this year. Check out www.redwhiteandnew.org to learn more!

Help us provide our students with all the supplies they need for the coming school year. As we draw closer to the start of the school year, we are working to make sure that the families we serve are prepared for any outcome. One piece of that will be making sure every child has all needed supplies to learn from home or a classroom. Follow the link in our bio to purchase supplies for our students.

Today we’d like to thank Georgia Natural Gas for being our presenting sponsor for Red, White, and New! We appreciate all of their support in helping us make this event happen! #rwn2020

We are so saddened by the loss of John Lewis. He was an incredible advocate and a champion for civil and human rights. He taught us all how to make ‘good trouble’ and stood by resettlement agencies in many ways. He protested the travel ban at the Atlanta airport, marched against family separation, and co sponsored pro-refugee and immigrant legislation- just to name a few ways he stood for new Americans. He did innumerable things to better our country and the world. He will be greatly missed. #goodtrouble

Red, White, and New, is virtual this year! We hope you all join us on August 29th at 7pm to celebrate the contributions of new Americans from your home! Visit www.redwhiteandnew.org for more information and to tune into what we have planned. #redwhiteandnew #rwn

Meet Christina! She has been a part of NewAP for three years, first as an intern, and now as an elementary school instructor in our Afterschool Program. She has watched kindergarteners from her internship grow into fourth-graders today and seen them benefit from the love and committed relationships she and her coworkers have been able to build with parents, students, and the larger community at Jolly Elementary. Her favorite part about working with NewAP is a unique culture and organizational structure that supports employees and clients in "a way she has never seen before" that "inspires her every day". Christina has also been making masks during the Covid-19 epidemic as a way to connect herself and others and help the Clarkston community. Christina even handmade these masks for New American Pathways staff and clients! We want to thank Christina for the wonderful work she continues to do with us!

We celebrate the successes of refugees and immigrants all year round! Rafael lives in Atlanta with his wife and two children, who have just recently received their green cards. Although this wasn’t his reality fifteen years ago when he left the Philippines, he never gave up hope that it eventually would be. Rafael was promised a job in South America, but instead found himself in Florida. He was working, but without pay or health insurance, and was still awaiting the green card he was promised when he agreed to leave the Philippines. Years passed, and Rafael still did not receive proper compensation for the cooking, cleaning, driving, and even construction work that he was doing that at times, resulted in serious injury that would go untreated. Rafael was a victim of human trafficking, one of the over 30 million people globally exploited in this form of modern-day slavery. Fastforward ten years to 2015 and Rafael was granted his T-visa, which gave him immigration status as a survivor of human trafficking. After escaping his situation, he and other survivors came forward and were able to advocate for themselves and seek legal help, resulting in the opening of a labor trafficking case. With the help of a Florida organization that supports survivors of trafficking, they were able to receive clothing, money, and support they needed while awaiting their T-visas. After moving to Atlanta with a friend and connecting with New AP, Rafael was able to bring his wife and children to the United States and finally reunite with them about two years ago. Rafael has been working diligently and patiently to rebuild his life. He says he believes that eventually everything will fall into place for him when it’s time; the key for him is patience. He and his wife both have jobs, his children, now teenagers, are in school, and he is working toward his goal of eventually having his own business one day. In the next five years, he and his family plan to pursue citizenship and continue on the path to becoming new Americans so they can become advocates and provide support for those who are going through the same things they’ve been through. #refugeeswelcome
