With the holiday season, it is easy to get lost in ourselves, in our needs and our wants. Imagine how much better we would all feel, how much more we would appreciate what we have, if we took that extra time to look out for one another; not just during this time of year, but all year, every day. |

The WoW Celebration of Success recently held on December 9th was an extraordinary success. The event celebrated significant milestones of 30 women who reached their goals of becoming independent. The atmosphere was enthusiastic and fun. The success of the WoW event was not only measured by the impressive turnout but also by the camaraderie and support of the women for each other. We are so proud of all their accomplishments throughout 2023 and know they will continue to work hard to become self-reliant. We give much gratitude to Minky Couture for donating blankets to the awardees, Hearts Knit Together for donating gift bags for all women in attendance, and to Nobu Muranaka for donating his amazing photography skills. Thank you!! |

Health Literacy Workshops |
|
|
We concluded the year of workshops with the final classes in the Health Literacy series; Nutrition, Cancer Prevention, and Holistic Healing. Designed to enhance our client's understanding of health information, medical terminology, and healthcare systems, these Health Literacy workshops played a crucial role in empowering our clients to make informed decisions about their health and well-being. Through interactive sessions, our clients learned to navigate healthcare and gain skills and the confidence needed to advocate for their own health, ultimately contributing to a healthier and more informed community. The staff that was in attendance learned right along side with our clients and we are grateful to all those that came and presented our workshops. We wish everyone health, wellness, self-advocacy and happiness. |

Naween came with her family from Afghanistan as refugees fleeing the Taliban. She had originally completed schooling in her home country to go into law but upon arrival in the US, she decided she wanted to switch her major to Computer Science.

After completing her One Refugee internship with WoW, she continued to volunteer her time by offering translation services and teaching English classes. Naween is extremely dedicated to supporting our Afghani refugees, as well as committed to her studies at SLCC. She works part-time in the WoW office and is looking forward to supporting our wonderful clients! Her positive presence and dedication make her a delight to have on our team. |
