Refugee Support in Hamilton
Support a Refugee Family settle into Hamilton!
A great opportunity to help out in our community and to become a Refugee Support Volunteer (RSV) is coming up. The role is to support a UN-quota refugee family during their first 3 months of resettlement in Hamilton: setting up a house, introducing the new arrivals to NZ culture, assisting them with doctor’s registrations, school enrolments, finding their way around their new community etc. More information on our website: www.redcross.org.nz...
A free training course with the Red Cross starts on Tuesday, 14th March to prepare volunteers for the refugees arriving in Hamilton in April.
The schedule is as follows:
Tuesday, 14th March,
Tuesday, 21st March,
Tuesday, 28th March,
Tuesday, 4th April and
Tuesday, 11th April.
Timing: For all five sessions you can choose to come either in the morning from 9:30am-12:30pm or in the evening from 6-9pm.
Location: NZ Red Cross building on 422 Te Rapa Road.
If you are interested and available to support a refugee family for at least 3 months (up to six), please contact via email: shally.arora@redcross.org.nz or phone/text at 021 228 2065.
