#9 of 30 Poems in November to benefit the Center for New Americans. Today’s theme is MAGIC.
The Center For New Americans
provides free English classes for immigrants and refugees, as well as
computer classes, reading and writing classes, tutoring, career
coaching, and immigration legal services. This is why the kids and I are raising funds this month. Because we want immigrants and
refugees in the USA to be welcomed and appreciated, not separated from their
families and sent away. Enough is enough.
