Welcome to the Barwon Community Refugee Integration and Settlement Program (CRISP)
On Wednesday evening I was talking to Steve Richards.
Members may recall when Steve and his colleague came to the club nearly 2 years ago and spoke about a family relocating to Torquay from Syria.
Here is an update on the family ….
The Hammuds moved to Torquay from Syria and have made this their home over the past 18 months.
They have been so grateful to Rotary for all the assistance we gave and asked Steve to pass on their thanks.
Mr. Hammud is in full time employment and is currently relocating his family to Craigieburn to be closer to work and to connect with the local Syrian community there.
Steve and his colleagues have formed a new group of volunteers (Welcome to Barwon CRISP group) and are about to apply to assist another refugee family in resettling in the Barwon region.
If you are interested in helping out – please contact Steve on –
email … stevegron48@gmail.com
And let him know you are from Rotary.
Steve will discuss with you ways you can help.
