From Page 1 become a nonprofit organization so it can apply for grants and receive donations to help with this project. “The Virginia Organizing Project helps small, nonprofits get started,” she told the three dozen people attending the April 27 CIF meeting. “This is the best idea I’ve heard for a way to get started quickly.” Regarding the center, itself, Bill Threlkeld — who ran the day labor center in Herndon for Reston Interfaith — advised the CIF to “talk to agencies who’ve been involved in working with [such] cen- ters.”

THE TRAILER would be a 64x14, modular office with two rooms plus a bathroom. Foltz said Dwoskin’s looking into possibly obtaining a discarded unit from the school system or another en- tity. She also said Dwoskin wants to know whether the laborers would be willing to go to the center, instead of gathering outside the Centreville Regional Library, as they do now. Similarly, Centre Ridge resident Jim Katcham asked, “Will the people hiring the workers find it convenient and accessible to park, get out of their vehicles, go in and sign up to hire someone?” “We want this to be done fairly, so that employers who hire them would pay them for their work,” replied Foltz. “This would discour- age them from not paying them.” Some of Centreville’s day laborers attended the meeting and, at Foltz’s request and via translators, they gave their own thoughts on the matter. A man named Alejandro thanked everyone for “trying to make our lives better, without asking anything in return. I hope you’ll always help immigrants; God bless you.” He said he thought the workers would use the center “so the local residents wouldn’t think badly of us and we could earn more.” A worker named Jacinto said there are many day laborers in Centreville and they’re “thankful for this. A worker center would be much more desirable than the corner, because of the cold in the winter, and it would be safer and more secure for us.” Another laborer, Domingo, ex- pressed appreciation for the work the CIF is doing for him and the others. He said he was praying for the center to become a reality “so it can actually work.” He also said the CIF would someday be rewarded for all the good deeds it’s doing. Domingo said only a handful of day laborers were present at that See Forum, Page 7 www.ConnectionNewspapers.com Centre View North ❖ May 13-19, 2010 ❖ 5 Opinion
