Follow-up Letter from Innocent Magambi

Rotarian Leaders,
 
Thank you so much for allowing me to bring Innocent Magambi to your clubs to speak to them about refugees in Africa. He has sent me the following thank you to distribute to you and your clubs if you see fit.  Additional copies of his book “Refugee for Life” are available at www.kibebe.com if any of your members missed out on the opportunity to get them while we were visiting.
 
Again, thank you so much. You are doing good in the world. I hope to see you all at the District Foundation Dinner on November 5th.
 
YIRS,

New Service Project - Hillcrest Hope Apartment Sponsorship
CLUB VOTED TODAY (9-7-2022) UNANIMOUSLY TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT !  
 
Hillcrest Hope is a place of second chances. Everyday we work with individuals and families to help them find the way back to stability and personal independence.
 
The mission of Hillcrest Hope is to empower the homeless and working poor to achieve personal independence through housing, accountability, education, and community support.
 
Community is a vital ingredient for Hillcrest Hope families during their time in the program and beyond. We believe lasting change is made possible when our families are surrounded with a supportive and positive community. At Hillcrest Hope, our vision is to someday see a community where all people have the necessities of life, including food, clothing, and housing. Wherein all people can stand on their own with dignity and provide for their families.
 
Hope Essentials is the cornerstone program of Hillcrest Hope. For nearly 45 years we have been providing transitional housing services to families right here is Liberty. Families are provided with a 2-bedroom apartment for 90-days (rent and utility free). During that time, families work closely with their case manager and budget counselor to address a variety of obstacles and struggles in their lives.   See program in action...click here!
