Art Therapy Class and Legal Consultation News

Since last March, we have begun art therapy sessions for a migrant woman and her child. We held this program for 2days a week and now it has come to its closing session. The father has been convicted of domestic violence and is currently serving time in prison. The child is to go back to his grandparents and the mother will stay so that she can work and send money to her family. Had we not helped this family, the child would have lived on with so much anger in his heart. But now, he has gotten much better. We hope that everything turns out for the best for this family.

Meanwhile, some urgent legal consultation was sought for last month. A Vietnam woman’s husband passed away in a car accident. Without legal help, she had no choice but to close her husband’s restaurant. She must make a living through this restaurant, so she was desperate. When she contacted us, we at first introduced her to a migrant women’s support center, but she was too busy to visit them. As she continued to reach out to us for help, we found a translator and lawyer who could carry out legal consultation and offered her some legal advice and solutions.

We are always grateful for your volunteer work and sponsorship. Migrant women and multicultural families need your continued attention in order to adapt and adjust to our society. Thank you.
