Cultural Preservation

Our culturally sensitive materials give them a sense of familiarity and representation during this new chapter of their lives.

Welcoming our new neighbors

Our Afghan Picture Dictionary is a perfect "welcome to the USA" gift for our newly arrived friends!

I am working with an Afghan refugee woman who is non-literate in Pashto, so the picture dictionary was inordinately useful.

I hadn't expected that the content would be so strategic; it's placement of numbers right at the beginning, for example was key to helping her unlock a great deal of life in the US, from prices at the grocery store to her phone number.

Further, I could tell that having all the pictures reflect the clothing, faces, and culture of Afghanistan made my student -- a shellshocked, homesick refugee -- feel comforted.
