As you know, November is COAR membership month. Thank you very much to those who’ve signed up on our website as members and donated toward our work. We truly appreciate your support! Right now, your donations mean even more; we are working toward a $20,000 fundraising goal for a matching grant of $10,000. In other words, for every $10 you give COAR, we will receive $15.

Thank you again!

Believing in their dignity and potential, COAR supports locally resettled refugees in their efforts to rebuild positive, self-sufficient lives.  COAR mobilizes community networks and resources to help refugees adjust to their new surroundings and promote their future success.

Programs:

The recent wave of violence in Congo has sent thousands fleeing for their lives, running for shelter in refugee camps. The images are haunting: women carry dead children, men hobble with missing limbs, and people balance precious possessions on their heads while maneuvering through jungle. Cholera has reached the refugee camps and many of those who survived the journey are now fighting infectious disease too.
The situation seems impossible. Congo has long been plagued by violence and disease. These latest wave continue to rattle an unstable, yet beautiful, country.  

Join COAR tonight at 7 pm in the Gold Room of ASU’s Memorial Union for a showing of "Don’t Fence Me In."

The film is the first in conjunction with the ASU West Human Rights series this Fall. Other events include additional film screenings, panel discussions and speakers.

See you at the movies!
