UNITED STATES, July 2010: Since 2006, Sewa USA has taken initiative in the resettlement of Bhutanese Refugees. By 2012 a total of 60,000 refugees will be calling America home.
Sewa’s Bhutanese Refugee Empowerment (BRE) Project is assisting the refugees with education, housing assistance, farming, mobility, essential items, and employment. They are also providing help with heath care, women’s empowerment and counseling on many topics. The organization has chapters in 30 cities across the US.
Atlanta, Georgia has become a haven for over 3,000 Bhutanese Refugees as of March 2010. This summer, SEWA USA is doing a summer internship program (Get Inspired, Atlanta!) for the needy Bhutanese in Georgia. It is a two and half month program involving 12 interns. If you are willing to contribute in anyway, please send an email to atlanta@sewausa.org
