  Our next recipient, Helen Sweitzer, lives with her family in Wilmette.Her husband is a New Trier alum and she grew up in South Africa.In an effort to involve her young children with families who have a less comfortable lifestyle than theirs, Helen connected her family with an organization called Interfaith Refugee and Immigration Ministries, the IRIM.They were looking for volunteers in numerous capacities, including working with refugee children.They began by helping with the after school program and playing with the kids and helping them with alphabet basics.She and her kids made a strong connection to the young people from Somali due to her African background.In addition to the Somali children, there were Afghan, Palestinian and other nationals that were there as well.From there, Helen volunteered to teach ESL to a group of 5 Somali women and their children.She works with them once a week for three hours.This class is part of the Women's Empowerment Program, offering these women the skills to survive in our country.The program offers sewing classes, classes on birth control and women's health, and a variety of other programs to empower women through education.Helen is also a mentor for a woman who fled Liberia after seeing her husband and other family members killed.It is a one on one commitment as she is her teacher, advocate and friend.She'll help her make calls to the doctor and her children's school for her.Helen and her family also mentor another entire family from Somalia.They visit with them every weekend, taking them to the zoo, the Hancock, Navy Pier, movies, and will bring them up here to meet their friends at their kids' soccer and basketball games and the beach and park in the summer.The Sweitzers collect toys, clothes and food for them when needed.With a quick e-mail to her friends, she is able to gather necessities immediately.She will also take neighbors and friends down to the IRIM programs with them to share the experience.The latest adventure of the Sweitzer family is helping new refugees set up their apartments, meet them at the airport and get them settled.Helen wanted us to share with you that the IRIM needs more volunteers and has many opportunities available.
