Second Start plants a seed of change
Volunteers are the lifeline that support many of our New Americans and the benefits go both ways. Please contact Patricia Bedford if you are interested in being a lifeline to New Americans or if you need tutoring.
PORTRAITS OF DIVERSITY: Morgan Mbuyi
“With Second Start, it’s for people coming here to have a second chance. They can learn English and get back into school. It helps them to integrate and build in this new country. I like living here now, I have my family here, and I’m happy now.” Morgan Mbuyi
HOMETOWN HERO Heather Tobine
A connection with kids from babysitting to First Start, Tobine has dedicated her career to working with children.
You have helped our family with what is possibly the hardest job around. You have devoted your time, energy and compassion not only to our children, but to others. It takes a special type of individual to be able to do this, and I must say you have all done it well. It’s not easy to leave your children in someone else’s care for the whole work day, but knowing that they were in able hands made leaving them easier.
