盧勝彥佈施基金會非常榮幸能支持 West African Community Council (WACC, 西非共同體理事會) 的工作。 SYL Foundation is proud to support the work of The West African Community Council - WACC, which provides early learning, legal assistance, and other community services. Dr. Jonathan Muvudu, WACC Executive Director, shared some recent highlights of the organization’s work: WACC hosted a “Know Your Rights” workshop in February, spreading awareness about immigration rights and protections including labor rights. The information was translated into French and Wolof, and WACC will host three more of these events to help combat the challenges facing immigrants. WACC also runs a preschool for immigrant children that offers a unique dual language program in French and Wolof, making education accessible to immigrant and refugee families. Additionally, WACC hosts its food drive program for Seattle’s marginalized immigrant communities twice a week. Jonathan states that this program is open to all immigrants regardless of their ethnic or religious background and “strives to reduce the food deserts among immigrant communities.” WACC’s work is vital to providing the local immigrant and refugee community with resources, stability, and community.
