Hear briefly what others across PHX are doing as it relates to our Afghan friends/neighbors.
About Bridges USA: Bridges USA equips, encourages and networks Americans to lovingly welcome Afghans into their communities; they now have registrants in 42 states representing over 200 community organizations and churches. (See the short intro video at www.bridgesusa.us for a sense of its vision and heart). The Bridges team has significant experience working in Afghanistan and with Afghans worldwide. With no cost or obligation, Bridges seeks to be an expert resource and, where helpful, a partner to local welcoming communities throughout the USA. They do this through: informative videos and resources on topics such as Afghan culture/history/religion, the resettlement process, understanding trauma and how welcomers can overcome challenges; in-person or online training and consultation; multiple links to expert sources on a wide variety of topics; and a mutually supportive network of similar welcomers throughout the USA.
