我聞 我見 我思

為人民服務 我們從基層開始

國際社區服務中心將揭幕

籌備多時之休斯敦國際社區服務中心定於下週二中午正式啟動, 這也是我們多年來所努力的一項重大社區服務項目，它更代表了美南新聞集團為社會提供即時、快捷的服務。

這一年多來，因為新冠病毒之襲捲致使社會及國家帶來無比的傷痛，我們每天在不斷報導病毒對社區造成的巨大損失，從白宮到地方政客們不斷開出支票，希望救助災民，巨額的財政撥款 似一個看得到又拿不著的大餅，每當深夜我常從夢中驚醒，我不斷在告訴和鞭策自己，一定要以實際行動來為人民服務。

我們的這項願望今天總算實現了，從下星期二開始，美南新聞ITC國際社區服務中心就將在美南新聞大樓中正式開幕了，我們將設立專職隊伍，展開各項服務工作，其中包括：聯邦政府災難纾困贷款和補助申請，小商業咨詢、法律諮詢服務、健保醫療、孩童資助、房屋補助、職訓輔導、市政府相關服務等。

我們已經和各類專業人士達到夥伴協定，將盡力為各種疑難問題找到答案，同時，已經禮聘曾任中學校長的廷納博士出任中心主任。

今天我們又開始了一段不尋常的服務旅程，我們甚盼大家能同舟共濟，穿越和克服我們最黑暗和艱困的日子。

Community Resource Center Will Open Soon

This is our dream come true. Sponsored by the ITC Community Empowerment Organization, the Community Resource Center will open the door next Tuesday at the Southern News Group building. Our mission is to serve as a one stop-shop for the underserved minority population in the Houston southwest area. We plan to provide members of the community with information that will empower them to improve their quality of life and to serve as a way for them to access the rich pool of resources available to them.

Members of the community who have questions about any of the variety of issues we will address are encouraged to schedule interviews with the center. We will link the person with a professional who can best address their needs. The areas include disaster assistance,  loans and grants, small business development, tax information, immigration, legal issues, workforce, housing and renting, veterans issues, medical, healthcare service, education, skills development, children and child welfare and city services.

Our service will be led by senior educator, Dr. Tina Agosa and many other assistants.

After the pandemic attacked our community last year, more than one-half million people have lost their lives. This tragedy in our community made me so sad that I couldn’t go to sleep at night. I kept on thinking, “What can we do for all of us?” Finally, we are putting this dream into action.

Dear brothers and sisters, please join our mission. Come join us and help us rescue our own people as well as the whole nation. 

We sincerely need to send out our appreciation to Congressman Al Green. He is our true brother. Whenever we need the help, he is always there.
