| Hello jay, Here is an update on what's new with ARC around the world. We appreciate your questions and feedback, so please feel free to send them our way! Thank you for your continuing support. -Daniel Daniel Wordsworth, President *********************************************** + Milestone for Kapoeta Civil Hospital + One year ago, American Refugee Committee began working in Kapoeta Civil Hospital in South Sudan. Over this time, our team has worked to increase provision of obstetrics and newborn care services. Thanks to the dedication of the hospital staff, expectant mothers in this community are experiencing healthy labor. In 12 months, we haven't lost a single mother in childbirth!
+ Asili Update + Asili, our social enterprise in Eastern Congo, is expanding! We launched the first zone in July 2014 and we’ve now begun work on the second clinic site. Located in Cirunga, the second clinic will be about a 30 minute drive from the first clinic. We are so grateful to Minneapolis-based design firm, RSP Architects, for generously contributing their time and expertise to design the new clinic. You can check out the design below! Similar to the first zone in Buhanga, the Asili zone in Cirunga will also serve a community of roughly 10,000 people with high-quality health care, clean water and agricultural cooperative services. + 2015 Changemakers Idea Competition + We are in the midst of the 3rd annual Changemakers Award competition! We’ve asked our staff around the world to share their ideas in answer to this question: “In one simple way, how would you make the people we serve feel more valued, joyful or powerful?” We saw some great ideas in last year’s competition – coding schools for refugees, a recreation and laughter therapy program for elderly and driving school for refugees– and we are anticipating even more this year. The competition is open through July 31st and we’ve already had more than 100 ideas submitted! Follow the action here as we announce the top 10 finalists and the winner over the next few months. + Giving + At the request of readers, I always include these links so they’re easy to find when you need them.
