Welcoming Afghans update 10/16/21
More and more families are arriving from Afghanistan to San Diego County every day now and we are responding. Activities based out of our Center currently include: separate ESL classes for both men and for women twice a week, weekly food distribution to needy families, home visits with welcome baskets, collecting and distributing bedding and personal care products, and providing help with paperwork for local Afghans seeking visas for family members still back in Afghanistan. Upcoming plans include providing bi-lingual help for children and youth with navigating the educational system here, including how to use computers and chrome books. Please let us know if you would like to help support any of these efforts.

HOPE FOR VULNERABLE FAMILIES
A Trauma Informed Program of Caring and Connecting in Response to COVID-19
Our Vision
Working in partnership with our local Syrian friends who have been resettled as refugees here among us, to see the love of Christ expressed in word and deed to their family members who remain in Syria and unsettled in neighboring countries, suffering ongoing hardships from years of conflict in their homelands, and now a worldwide pandemic.
We have identified many families in need who are in Syria and some in Lebanon, severely impacted by the explosion in Beirut on August 4th. We have local partners there on the ground who are already helping whom we are supporting. Our focus today is on on emergency medical needs, food, and families suffering from hunger.
YOUR SUPPORT IS NEEDED TODAY to help us serve vulnerable families struggling today in Syria and Lebanon. (Donation info is on this page). Or contact us at info@bridgebuildersnetwork.org.
