"I know how hard it is to adjust to a new culture where everything is different. For so many people, the language barrier makes that adjustment even harder. I love that I can use my skills and knowledge to help newcomers understand how things work in Lincoln, to make connections and begin to feel at home here," says Samia.
Your donations are the heartbeat of our mission, enabling us to offer programs that help newcomers find their voice, build community, and thrive. From all of us at the Asian Center, thank you for making this invaluable work possible. Together, we're building a brighter, more inclusive future for everyone in Lincoln.
