Today we met with the Marshallese Women’s organization, Ippen Dron Club, to discuss how to support them in these uncertain and stressful times.
With the kind support of Oregon Community Foundation, Living Island and Ippen Dron Club will be able to put on a number of virtual Covid-19 story-telling circles.
For more information about the Ippen Dron Club in Salem, OR, please contact Cecilia Labi.
This week we joined forces with Micronesian Islander Community to provide translations and interpretation for their Pacific Islanders in North Salem.
As part Covid-19 response, we have partnered with Washington County and Intel POI to provide language assistance at Pacific Islander community test sites.
The first test site was at Aloha High School, Saturday, June 27th.
We had the help of Virginia Garcia Medical Group for the medical testing, and supplied community members with a resource box full of food, provided by Village Church, Sonrise Church, and Oregon Food Bank.
The event went fantastic with almost 200 community members being tested!
