| 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 *********************************************** + Cut It Out Project in Nu Po + In Nu Po refugee camp, the Cut It Out project has taken life as an initiative that trains female hairdressers to identify and direct victims of intimate partner violence to help. It provides a new pathway for victims of domestic violence to access support. Implemented in May, this project takes advantage of the unique position of hairdressers to recognize signs and symptoms of abuse due to the nature of their service. + VIDEO: Mahama Camp + As of right now, nearly 40,000 refugees have arrived in Rwanda from Burundi. Over the last two months, ARC has led the construction of Mahama Refugee Camp, a new home for refugees fleeing political turmoil. The team is currently building thousands of shelters and community structures to help protect newly arrived families. The team is also hard at work at the camp's hospital and nutrition center, helping hundreds of new moms and children, many of whom suffer from malnutrition after their long journey. Doctors and nurses at the hospital are seeing over 200 patients a day. The ARC team is working long days and nights, putting in hours and hours to make sure we do everything we can to help the new families of Mahama Refugee Camp. Check out this video of some of the sights and sounds from Mahama:
+ SPOTLIGHT: Gelman, Rosenberg and Freedman + We wanted to take a moment to recognize our amazing auditors at Gelman, Rosenberg & Freedman. They check up on our financials, but we also have a unique partnership; they’ve flown to ARC country programs in Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Liberia, Rwanda, and more. They understand our work. “We love working with GRF because they are consummate professionals who believe in really getting to know what we do. They are hands-on and, when necessary, ready to dig into the details while keeping in mind the big picture and our mission,” says Tharangi, ARC’s Finance Controller. “They are never intimidated to visit even our most challenging locations.” GRF auditors know our programs inside and out and look forward to visiting ARC staff in different country programs each audit season. One veteran GRF auditor fondly recalled her experience conducting an audit for ARC while living in a tent. “One of my favorite experiences was living in the tent city in Fishtown, Liberia while ARC was setting up the ETU (Ebola Treatment Center) there,” explained the GRF auditor. It’s an experience she won’t soon forget. Thank you Gelman, Rosenberg & Freedman for your dedicated partnership!
