IANH - SAHELI Initiative :
We are pleased to announce this
initiative focusing on women and elderly persons who are
looking for opportunities to transform their lives and
their families. IANH - Public Service Committee and
Saheli
Boston are partnering for the first time to jointly work
on this initiative. Though Saheli focuses on victims of
domestic abuse, IANH decided to offer the services to
any woman, or an elderly person, who needs these
services. The primary focus of this initiative is to
raise awareness, provide employable skills and social
skills, and create a safe and secure networking
environment.
The cost free training sessions will be
held on the campus of Southern New Hampshire
University's Nashua Center. These sessions will be from
8:00 am - 2:00 p.m every Saturday. These sessions will
focus on computer literacy and use of the Internet;
English communication skills, and
immigration/naturalization documentation support. We
hope to offer more support in future based on members
demand and participation.
We like to acknowledge and extend our
heart felt thanks to SNHU's President Dr. Paul LeBlanc
and Nashua Center's Director Ms. Karen Goodman for their
support. We look forward to similar encouragement and
active participation of the members of the Indian
community.
If you would like additional
information please contact Ms.Barinder Ahluwalia at
PublicService@ianh.org. If you
want to know more about the SNHU programs at
