Hello Nina,
Please go back in and submit the orientation quiz in order for me to give you the 1 hour credit.

I really enjoyed the orientation as I now feel more able to be beneficial to these people in the process.

Hello John,
You did a great job answering these questions. Just a few notes about questions that you missed.
1. Church World Service is a refugee resettlement agency approved by the US State Department.
2. An asylum seeker is someone who arrives at the border of another country and has to provide enough evidence to prove that they are in need of refuge
and cannot be turned back.

Good afternoon Joseph,

I hope you are doing well. It is great to have an opportunity to welcome our new friends. However, I have reached out to Oscar Enriquez & he does not speak English & told me “no habla engles”. I will find an interpreter to assist me in communications with him. He seemed like a kind man, I believe he will understand through my interpreter what my goals are. If you think that is alright.
Thank you
Best, John

I actually just spoke with him on the phone through an interpreter, since he does not speak one bit of english what would you advise me to do. I will not be able to communicate with him without an interpreter. Is having an interpreter acceptable?
