| Hello jay, Thank you for being a part of ARC. People like you make our work possible! Here's the latest update on what we're up to. Thank you so much for your continuing support. -Daniel Daniel Wordsworth, President *********************************************** + World Humanitarian Day + Last Friday, we celebrated World Humanitarian Day with our teams around the world. Each and every day our staff work in challenging environments to bring quality service to those who need it most. From being the largest distributor of food on the streets of Aleppo, Syria to being one of the first NGOs to operate inside Mogadishu, Somalia, we are continuously amazed by the energy and empathy of our staff. They work tirelessly in ever-changing crises. We asked our teams “In three words what does humanitarianism mean to you?” Here are some of the responses we received: “Sacrifice, passion and patience.” – Abdiqafar, Somalia “Humility in service.” – Jacques, Rwanda “Always ready to help.” – Mama Jose, DRC “Dignity. Love. Giving life.” – Arafa, Sudan We also wanted to thank YOU! As an ARC supporter, you make it possible for us to reach the most difficult places. You are our partner in this work and a true humanitarian yourself. Thank you for standing by us.
Staff in Jordan write messages of encouragement to colleagues in Syria and Sudan + Nakivale Child Protection Office Makeover + Our team in Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Uganda is finding out what is possible with a little resource and a lot of creativity. They’ve been hard at work brainstorming what can be done with just $500 and a mentality of doing the doable. Across Nakivale, you can see these small changes that are making a big difference. The ARC Child Protection Office stands out with its freshly painted exterior. Walk inside and you will see an even more colorful space, filled with toys and cartoon-painted walls. It’s all about creating an environment where kids feel safe to share and where they may even play while their parents receive information, counseling and guidance next door at the counseling center. The office now offers a refreshing change from what it once was. And, the excitement of the team is palpable. By looking beyond their limitations, they were able to bring new value to the people we serve.
+ Groundbreaking on 3rd Asili Zone + Asili, our social enterprise in Eastern DRC is expanding once again! We launched the first zone in July 2014 in rural Buhanga. This past March, we launched a second zone in a semi-rural area. And now, this summer, we’ve broken ground on our third Asili zone. Each Asili location is being tested in a different economic setting. Located in Mudaka, this zone will service a busy market town that sees frequent car and foot traffic. Set to open this November, the third zone will bring a clinic, rehabilitated water system and agricultural cooperative to Mudaka.
