Thank you for concerning our refugee community.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/refugeeunion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/46884221_2234717080107637_5902179062146662400_o-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"46884221_2234717080107637_5902179062146662400_o\" \/><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Good news! We are glad to share with our Members that, starting from this month, our Office will have Music Session for our refugee kids on every Saturday.

These are ongoing activities our members are most grateful for as not classes not only provide opportunity to learn, but also socialise and get out of the oppressive routine of feeling like prisoners-in-the-city which is the condition of being on Immigration bail without the opportunity to work and feel productive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We have the Canadian Tutorial Session every Saturday at our office, with a group of passionate volunteers to teach refugee children school assignments and help them to prepare for tests and examinations.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/refugeeunion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Tutoring-Session-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Tutoring Session\" \/><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Cultural Diversity Playgroup at our office targets both refugee adults and babies. Participants can make new friends and learn new things during lessons. They all share joyful moments.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/refugeeunion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Play-Group-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Play Group\" \/><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Members who are interested in the above programmes, please visit our office for more information.
