The International Institute is a wonderful organization, with truly dedicated individuals. They provide services to refugees and immigrants and help, not only with the relocation, but also with community integration. Despite the troubles we face in St. Louis at times, we have to remember some people will still leave everything behind and risk life and limb to get here. We are so pleased to be helping with the furnishing part of their relocation.
The International Institute offers a soft place to land to these individuals, who in many cases have literally nothing. Racial tensions are at an all-time high and IISTL rises to the challenge by bridging the gap with their community awareness, cross cultural training and a large annual festival of nations.
We made our first modest drop off, but already love working with the coordinator, Lacey. We are setting up and looking forward to future partnership.
