iACT would like to thank all of those who reached out with offers of support for the expected arrival of Afghan families due to the current evacuation.

iACT as well as other refugee service providers have already  been working with Afghan refugees and SIV holders for a couple of years. In fact for the past two years over 50% of clients in iACT’s  ESL classes have been from Afghanistan. The process at this time is similar to what it has always been. Resettlement agencies will get notice of the arrival of families, but more of them will arrive faster than usual.

iACT’s educational services for adults and children is expected to grow. We will need more support from the community in the form of donations -monetary, or HEB and Visa gift cards -as well as volunteers to help in our adult and youth programs.

You can donate here, or you can contact Refugee Program Director Lu Zeidan at lzeidan@interfaithtexas.org. Check here for volunteer opportunities.
