Providing Opportunities, Realizing Dreams PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES, REALIZING DREAMS 2017ANNUAL REPORT A MESSAGE FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR PAGE 2 Dear Friends: Despite the unsettled atmosphere in our country during 2017, the staff and volunteers at Building One Community: The Center for Immigrant Opportunity did a remarkable job of continuing to serve the immigrant community in the greater Stamford area. While others were focused on building walls, increasing deportations and implementing restrictive immigration laws, we worked with 2,821 clients from 54 countries, providing them with opportunities to learn, to work, and to become productive members of our community. Clearly, assistance for our population has been particularly important during the past year. In response, we launched a new Immigration Legal Services program, and we are developing Community Support teams to help individuals and families who are involved in legal immigration issues. We sponsored information forums to provide timely and relevant information to our low-income clients and other community members. Of course, we continued our ongoing programs to help clients feel safe and welcome in our community. Students share a moment of fun in an English as a Second Language class taught by a high school In all of our work, we are guided by our mission to bring passionate people together to help immigrants and their volunteer. families succeed in the community. During 2017, in support of this mission: • 1,438 clients enrolled in English as a Second Language (ESL) or Vocational ESL (VESL) classes; • 579 clients obtained jobs or participated in job skills training classes and formal certification programs to increase employability skills; and • 1,266 clients participated in support programs for assistance with immigration issues, health care, tax preparation, parenting and school engagement. Building One Community focuses on creating opportunities for immigrants seeking to expand their skills and improve their lives. Our programs educate, employ and empower them, and engage the entire community in the SNAPSHOT OF 2017 process. In this report, we look at opportunities for immigrants to learn, earn, and succeed – and opportunities for our many volunteers and friends to support their efforts. 2,821 While our staff and volunteers provide opportunities for our clients on a daily basis, community partners and ACTIVE CLIENTS, financial supporters also are key to our success. By contributing over $1.5 million in 2017, our donors supported REPRESENTING 54 COUNTRIES everything we do. Our community partners provided many specialized services for our clients. In addition, during the past year, 447 individual volunteers provided over 12,000 volunteer hours – equivalent to the work of almost six full-time employees – and we continue to welcome volunteers who are passionate about our mission. 1,438 We encourage you to read the stories that follow about the community we have created together. With your ACTIVE ESL LEARNERS support, we look forward to providing opportunities and realizing dreams to help the immigrants who come to 299 Building One Community: The Center for Immigrant Opportunity.

It’s easy to learn that way.” “have confidence to speak without fear.” OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN: EDUCATION FOR OUR STUDENTS PAGE 5 Education and Training at B1C: Research shows that limited English proficiency is the most significant barrier to immigrants’ success in this country. To help our clients develop language skills, Building One Community offers all levels of general English as a Second Language (ESL) classes. We provided 3,622 hours of instruction for 1,337 clients in 2017. These classes are essential in moving our clients beyond “survival English” and qualifying them for more skilled, higher-wage jobs. In 2017, our Skills Development Program trained 484 students in three program tracks: • Home Health Aide, • Culinary and Catering Services, and • Construction and Landscaping. All three of these areas have formal curricula, which include the technical and language skills needed for employment. Home Health Aide students follow a track designed and taught in conjunction with a valued program partner, Norwalk Community College. Participants receive certificates of completion for many of these courses, and our Home Health Aides receive certificates at their own graduation ceremony. Students in this track also may take fewer courses and qualify as CPR technicians or home care companions. We also have developed Vocational ESL (VESL) classes to accompany each of these course tracks; 185 clients received a total of 317 hours of instruction in VESL during 2017. For children, we offer rotating homework help, tutoring and reading programs in our Center throughout the year. Adult and high school student volunteers organize, manage and staff these sessions, which occupy after-school hours as well as Saturday mornings. A key element of our Home Health Aide curriculum is sessions held at Norwalk Community College’s laboratory classrooms, where students practice the many skills they will need to safely and successfully work with clients. OPPORTUNITIES TO EARN: EMPLOYMENT FOR OUR CLIENTS PAGE 6 Seizing the Opportunity: Working, Earning and Building Skills A trio of clients from Building One Community is helping Stamford-based U.S. Games Systems serve the market for family games and playing card decks. They work in the company’s warehouse, organizing stock as it is received and packaging it for national and international shipments. All three of the men are from Haiti, and Ernso, the most experienced, celebrated his one-year anniversary with the company in May. When the company expanded their staff, they turned again to B1C and hired Stivens and Robenson.

  • L'italia E L'eurovision Song Contest Un Rinnovato
    La musica unisce l'Europa… e non solo C'è chi la definisce "La Champions League" della musica e in fondo non sbaglia. L'Eurovision è una grande festa, ma soprattutto è un concorso in cui i Paesi d'Europa si sfidano a colpi di note. Tecnicamente, è un concorso fra televisioni, visto che ad organizzarlo è l'EBU (European Broadcasting Union), l'ente che riunisce le tv pubbliche d'Europa e del bacino del Mediterraneo. Noi italiani l'abbiamo a lungo chiamato Eurofestival, i francesi sciovinisti lo chiamano Concours Eurovision de la Chanson, l'abbreviazione per tutti è Eurovision. Oggi più che mai una rassegna globale, che vede protagonisti nel 2016 43 paesi: 42 aderenti all'ente organizzatore più l'Australia, che dell'EBU è solo membro associato, essendo fuori dall'area (l’anno scorso fu invitata dall’EBU per festeggiare i 60 anni del concorso per via dei grandi ascolti che la rassegna fa in quel paese e che quest’anno è stata nuovamente invitata dall’organizzazione). L'ideatore della rassegna fu un italiano: Sergio Pugliese, nel 1956 direttore della RAI, che ispirandosi a Sanremo volle creare una rassegna musicale europea. La propose a Marcel Bezençon, il franco-svizzero allora direttore generale del neonato consorzio eurovisione, che mise il sigillo sull'idea: ecco così nascere un concorso di musica con lo scopo nobile di promuovere la collaborazione e l'amicizia tra i popoli europei, la ricostituzione di un continente dilaniato dalla guerra attraverso lo spettacolo e la tv. E oltre a questo, molto più prosaicamente, anche sperimentare una diretta in simultanea in più Paesi e promuovere il mezzo televisivo nel vecchio continente.

The combination of social engagement and intellectual excitement inspired them, and a measure of both is their enthusiasm in coming back to our internal conferences as well as the IAEE meetings. That leads me back to the impressive programme of upcoming conferences. I feel lucky to be Presi- dent in a year in which there is a meeting in Montevideo in April, where I hope to visit the Iguacu falls and the Itaipu dam.

This curtailment of travel is required so that the Pompeo family may attend a family funeral,” US Ambassador to Kuwait Lawrence Silverman said in a statement. “The secretary very much looks forward to visiting Kuwait to conduct the United States-Kuwait Strategic Dialogue with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Sabah in the near future. Secretary Pompeo places a high priority on our strategic dialogue, which commits the United States and Kuwait to increased cooperation in the areas of greatest practical benefit to our governments and our peoples,” the statement added. During his visit to Saudi Arabia yesterday, Pompeo faced a tough balancing act as he pressed the Saudi crown prince over critic Jamal Khashoggi’s murder while shoring up strategic ties with Riyadh.
