On Saturday, March 16 from 1:00 – 2:00 pm in the Chapel, the Immigration Justice group of Journey to Justice invites Epiphany parishioners and other faith community representatives in Winchester to a presentation by Andrins Renaudin, Shelter Services Director with the International Institute of New England (IINE), to learn more about volunteer needs of Haitian refugees.
Currently close to 150 families are housed at the Sonesta Select Hotel on Mishawum Road in Woburn. Volunteers under the direction of IINE are providing supportive services, language support, and driver’s license assistance, and assisting with the transition to more permanent housing. Andrins will be able to spell out specific volunteer needs during the March 16 presentation.
Andrins is the Founder and President of Cognitive Holistic Healing, a nonprofit that provides mental health literacy support for parents of Haitian descent who have children with registered mental health diagnoses. She serves on the Board of the Haitian American Medical Association and is a member of the Woburn Refugee Taskforce.
For more information, please contact the Rev. Bob Davidson.
