"While every refugee's story is different and their anguish personal, they all share a common thread of uncommon courage: the courage not only to survive, but to persevere and rebuild their shattered lives." – Antonio Guterres, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees

ESL, YWAM & The Arvada Refugee Community |
Tue, 01/24/2012 - 15:58 |
Project Worthmore has had the exciting opportunity of partnering with Youth With a Mission (YWAM) to teach English to Karen refugees. ESL classes began two weeks ago and will continue to be held on Monday evenings at the Vineyard church in Arvada. Many Karen women and children have attended and our numbers will hopefully continue to increase in the coming weeks.
You can learn more about YWAM and their other good works here: http://www.ywam.org/
Many thanks to all of our volunteers and YWAM for your dedication to this task. Here's to many more weeks of fun and learning together!
Many thanks from PWM! |

Ice skate-a-thon success!

A special thanks to Big Bear Ice Arena and Montessori Children's House of Denver for making this event possible.
Ice Skate-A-Thon and Rice & Coat Drive |
Mon, 10/24/2011 - 09:34 |
Many Thanks to Montessor Children's House of Denver for making this happen!
Why an ice skate-a-thon? To help raise funds to provide food, clothing, bus passes, and school materials for refugee children and their families. Takes place December 12th at Big Bear Ice Area.
Why a rice & coat drive? Many refugees are coming from places that have never experienced winter. Often times these individuals are ill-equipped to handle the cold winter months we experience here in Colorado. Providing coats is a great way to help keep people warm.
Rice is frequently used to initially supply a family with food. When first arriving, many refugee families find themselves with minimal food or resources to sustain themselves. Giving rice is an easy and helpful way to support these families when first getting started.
