Emmy wins Silver Barnum Award!

The Welcome to America Project's Youth Repsresentative for 2010, Emmy of Chandler, AZ, had been hard at work. Emmy was recently recognized for her hard work and dedication to the mission with a Silver Barnum Award. For over a year, Emmy has been volunteering her time to the Welcome to America Project, helping recently arrived refugees from Burma, Iraq, Sudan and other countries settle in their new homes here in the Phoenix area. Emmy was especially interested in the children. She started a children’s reading program and approached the manager of the apartment complex where the children live for permission to start a library. He allowed it, and thanks to donated books, the Library is now open.
