It’s that time of year already! The 2020/2021 School Year will begin soon. Things may look a lot different for students with an increased use of technology. The schools are working hard to provide laptops but other supplies are still needed. The regular school supplies and backpacks are requested!

Please contact us at serve@ashasrefuge.org or 901-500-9200 to arrange a drop off time and location. You may also donate at http://www.ashasrefuge.org to help us offset the cost of any supplies we may need to purchase for clients in need. Thank you in advance for always supporting our cause.

Today, June 20th, 2020, is World Refugee Day where we stop and take the time to remember the more than 65.7 million displaced people around the world today and yesterday. Their strength and courage is often misunderstood. Their voices matter!

This Saturday, June 20th is World Refuge Day. Each year we try to celebrate with a luncheon or some type of gathering with our clients. This year will be different, but we still want our clients to know we are so proud of them, happy they are here and feel blessed to have so many international friendships with them. We’ve given our clients the opportunity to send their short videos to us voicing their heart and encouragement to America and the entire world for such a time as this. Each video participant will automatically be entered in to a drawing to be held on World Refugee Day, June 20th at 6pm for cash $! 1st drawing will receive $100, 2nd drawing will receive $100 and 3rd drawing will receive $300.

And… there’s a surprise twist to this! Find out World Refugee Day at 6pm on Asha’s Facebook Page live what that will be!! We are thankful to all who have helped to make this happen and trust God in the smallest of details. Clients: send your videos to us by 3pm 6/19/20 to be entered in the drawing with your response to this question: “With everything going on in our world today we know you have had your faith tested and faced many challenges with success. What is the one thing you want to tell all Americans and even all the world?” Yes, your voice matters! We want to hear from you.

About 2 weeks ago Asha’s Refuge initiated a project to help refugee clients participate in giving back during the current medical crisis our world is facing. We wanted to engage our clients to keep them busy and focused thinking on what they could creatively do to help others during this rather strange time of great need. We do not want them all bound up in fear but rather positively active while at home with their families.

Many of our clients have skills and talents that people do not always get to see. One family that has a lot of sewing talent quickly grabbed hold of our request for masks to be sewn for nurses in need. The idea for the masks started when we saw a post from a nurse friend who didn’t have a mask for her protection at work and expressed the shortage in the hospitals. One of our volunteers found the pattern and passed it to us. The production started with Nadine’s family’s help, and first with Nadine taking on the challenge to learn to make them. Her skilled mom helped her.

Nadine is now teaching others in the community to help her make them from their own homes. She is using her phone to make videos, text messages and phone calls to teach them what to do. (Of course these are refugee friends who also already have some sewing skills)! A generous donor gave us two more sewing machines to help increase the production of the masks. So far most of the fabric is uniquely African style with bright colors and interesting patterns. Asha’s is eager to find fabric that might appeal to children (such as baby animals) so that children who may have to wear a mask might feel a little more comfortable about it. It costs $40 per 6 yards of African fabric but any fabric would really do. Our refugee families and Asha’s staff are also praying over the masks before they go out. We are trusting God to protect our medical teams and our families.

***

Notice: Please understand the idea is to REDUCE the spread… the masks we are making are NOT N95 OR surgical masks recommended by the CDC as those are in great shortage and have to be manufactured specially. Many nurses are choosing to wear these over their paper masks if they can find the paper mask! This is not a preventative measure or anything to “cure” any virus or anything. It is only an effort to do our part in raising awareness and try to at least reduce the spread.

***

Volunteers and supporters are being very generous to help us with the tools and materials needed to make this project happen. While our production may be picking up in speed a little, we are asking for those wanting a mask, to please be patient with us. We realize people need them quickly, but are working as fast as we can with refugee families truly open hearted to try and help as they can. Message us at deborah@ashasrefuge.org if you are in need of a mask. Again, please understand we are a slow production team right now and are still working hard to make this all happen for many. There is no cost to nurses, doctor or medical teams and they are first to be served. All others, please simply donate to through our website at http://www.ashasrefuge.org after letting us know that you want one. This will help us with the cost of supplies and will also help us to help more families like Nadine’s family.
