· BCANA Day: Today is the Burmese Christian Association of North America day at our church. We, as a member of the association, are observing and celebrating the day during the worship service. We also have flyer available with regards to the information and ministries of BCANA.
· Back to School Fair at Oakland Unified School District: The new school year is just around the corner--school starts on August 31st in the OUSD! Because newly arrived families are often disconnected from essential educational services like tutoring, after school programs and rec center resources, and because refugee families often lack essential back-to-school supplies, the Oakland Unified School District's Refugee & Asylee Student Assistance Program is hosting a 2009 Back to School Fair on Saturday, August 29th from 12:00-3:00 pm!
The fair will provide:
1. Information on after school programs, adult education programs, community centers and other importance resources for refugee families
2. Tools and tips to help parents support their children in school
3. Free back-to-school supplies
4. Food and fun!
