OUTREACH LEAD/INFO

Hey guys! This was a post/comment from Les that is worth a good read! Fire off the questions/comments/interests! And thanks Les! This is exciting!
I thought that last night was great. Really encouraging. Things are really starting to happen. There are serious rumblings.

I emailed this to the list, but here is the info so far on Micah House.You can visit http://www.micahhouse.ca/.
I have also included some exerpts from the site, cause I know that I rarely click on links.

Micah House is the work of a group of Christians from a variety of churches and organizations in Hamilton. Together, it is our goal to demonstrate God's love to newly arrived refugee claimants upon their arrival in Hamilton...

Here are few examples of activities that volunteers will participate in:
* being a friend to a new arrival preparing and cooking meals with and for our guests
* preparing Welcome Packs for new guests
* visiting with guests in the home
* accompanying individuals to appointments
* helping a family set up and move into their new home
* gardening and maintaining the house
* tutoring or teaching English
* assisting in the office
* updating and maintainting the website and managing e-mail
* interpreting and translating for guests
