Bay Atlantic University students create the Lend a Hand volunteer initiative set for October 26, 2021, the week of October 28, National Immigrant Day, to honor Afghan Immigrants. As the horrors of the war in Afghanistan unfolds in the public sphere, thousands of immigrants have evacuated to the Washington DC area. A sudden change of environment, living in a new country comes with different stressors and challenges. The emotional and mental toll these children and youth face in shelters or refugee camps is unimaginable. More than 400 children and youth registered who were separated from their families when they left Afghanistan; out of the 400, 100 came to America. Afghanistan Youth Relief Foundation’s mission is to provide relief for this most vulnerable population.
Bay Atlantic University students are honored to have the opportunity to coordinate a volunteer effort to help support the Afghanistan Youth Relief Foundation efforts on October 26 by moving and sorting boxes. Also, BAU students secured a donation for the foundation from Walmart for essential supplies. BAU students Ehsanullah Nasiree, Anu- Ujin Oyungerel, Jankeh Phatty, and Betiel Andemariam, the mission is to support the Afghanistan Youth Relief Foundation by recruiting volunteers to lend a hand for the day on October 26, 2021, from 2.00 pm to 4:00 pm at 4425 Brookfield Corporate Drive Suite 600 Chantilly, VA 2015, if interested in attending, please send an email to [email protected] or call at 240-224-5200.
About the Afghanistan Relief Foundation
The Afghanistan Relief Foundation has been educating, feeding, and clothing scores of children since its inception. On how it all started, their story is both touching and inspiring. “We started with three kids a few years ago, and today we have over 800 boys and girls who provided meals every day, taught how to read and write, and their incomes supplemented, so their families don’t have to force these kids to be out on the street earning a living. To date, we are happy to report that some of our students have graduated from their studies and are enrolled in universities studying law, medicine, business, and other disciplines. Others have graduated from university and now work in some of the highest levels of the government”.
