Lirs Inaugura Nuevo Centro De Bienvenida En Baltimore

El Servicio Luterano de Inmigración y Refugiados (LIRS) inauguró su nuevo Centro de Bienvenida en Baltimore con una ceremonia de inauguración en su sede de Inner Harbor el pasado 13 de junio.

El Centro de Bienvenida de Baltimore conectará a refugiados y solicitantes de asilo con servicios comunitarios y sociales, asistencia legal, educación y atención médica mientras reconstruyen sus vidas. El Centro de Bienvenida también contará con apoyo de salud mental, ya que muchos niños y familias han experimentado traumas en sus países de origen y en su viaje a los EE. UU.

“El Centro de Bienvenida será más que un edificio, representará una oportunidad para construir un mejor Baltimore, no solo para inmigrantes y refugiados, sino para todos los que llaman hogar a nuestra ciudad” DIJO Krish O’Mara Vignarajah, presidente y director ejecutivo de LIRS.

“Mis primeros meses viviendo en Baltimore fueron tiempos tumultuosos llenos de incertidumbre, pero comencé a sentirme empoderado, motivado y aceptado cuando comencé a trabajar con el equipo de Nuevas Ciudades Estadounidenses de LIRS”.

Norma Asimba, cliente del programa Nuevas Ciudades Americanas de LIRS.
