Invitation Namaste Over the past decade, U.S. schools have seen a sharp rise in immigrant and refugee students, many of whom arrive with minimal education and mostly no English language proficiency, complicating their academic progress. Integrating these students into a new society while supporting their development presents a significant challenge for educators. Join Sewa International USA on October 5, 2024, via Zoom for an essential discussion with experts on the education of immigrant and refugee children in the U.S. We will explore resources, government policies, public-private partnerships, and the role of volunteerism in addressing these challenges. Art of Living is holding a dynamic 10-minute yoga session that’ll refresh and invigorate you between discussions. Don’t miss out on this chance to stretch, energize, and rejuvenate! We highly value your participation, which we believe will contribute significantly to the discussions. Please feel free to reach out to us at summits@sewausa.org. Join us to contribute to this vital conversation. We eagerly look forward to your participation in the event. Regards, |
