Name: Ruby Wexler
Social Justice Group: Refugees
Date of Fieldwork: December 3, 2017
Name of Organization: Arab-American Family Services Center
Person (people) with whom I met and their job titles: Hannah Mcintire
Type of Fieldwork: Tour of Organization
What I did:
We when to the AAFSC and interviewed Hannah Mcintire and a few other people who worked there. Then they gave us a tour of the organization while explaining what they do and what programs that have.
What I learned:
We learned that it can be hard to get a job or housing for refugees and this is especially hard if you don’t speak English.
What I learned about Social Justice “work” and/or Civil and Human rights “work” from this fieldwork:
That a lot of people care and want to help others but certain topics are ignored or thought to be not as important.
