Bilingual International Staff Organizes Immigrant/Refugee Soccer Team

August 22, 2017 By Jason Baker

With the start of a new school year, Bilingual International is once again providing critical support to immigrant and refugee youth in area schools.  The young people we work with confront many challenges in their countries of origin, in their journeys to the United States, and/or in their transitions to a new country and culture.  The support we provide is critical to helping them develop resources to cope, learn, grow, and thrive.
 
This past year, we worked with some truly remarkable young men with a variety of cultures, languages, and experiences – but with a common love of soccer.  Bilingual International staff raised funds independently to cover costs associated with putting together a soccer team for the annual Cup of Nations.  Staff members acquired jerseys, arranged transportation, coached, and were there to cheer on the team on Saturday, July 29, 2017 at St. Louis University High. With the generous support of those who made donations and provided support, the Bilingual International team successfully competed in the tournament.  And with continued support, our hope is to continue participation in the tournament next year.  Special thanks go out to Olivia Walter (“Assistant Coach” – Project Safe Space) and Mario Camere, Esq. (“Coach” – Care Access for New Americans/Survivors of Torture), who put in the work to make this event happen.

Bilingual International has secured a federal grant award and will be rolling out a new program for recent Afghan evacuees in St. Louis. The Services to Afghan Survivors Impacted by Combat (SASIC) program will provide supportive case management and counseling for families impacted by war-related trauma. The 3-year, $1.8 million award will fund an Afghan-led and -staffed team of bilingual case managers with attached therapists and contracted psychiatry services. We are also proud to be working with Welcome Neighbor STL and the Islamic Foundation of Greater St. Louis to provide community supports and input. Details in the linked article! ... See MoreSee Less
