我闻 我见 我思

為人民服务 我们从基层开始

国际社区服务中心将揭幕

筹备多时之休斯敦国际社区服务中心定於下週二中午正式啟动, 这也是我们多年来所努力的一项重大社区服务项目，它更代表了美南新闻集团為社会提供即时、快捷的服务。

这一年多来，因為新冠病毒之袭捲致使社会及国家带来无比的伤痛，我们每天在不断报导病毒对社区造成的巨大损失，从白宫到地方政客们不断开出支票，希望救助灾民，巨额的财政拨款 似一个看得到又拿不着的大饼，每当深夜我常从梦中惊醒，我不断在告诉和鞭策自己，一定要以实际行动来為人民服务。

我们的这项愿望今天总算实现了，从下星期二开始，美南新闻ITC国际社区服务中心就将在美南新闻大楼中正式开幕了，我们将设立专职队伍，展开各项服务工作，其中包括：联邦政府灾难纾困贷款和补助申请，小商业咨询、法律諮询服务、健保医疗、孩童资助、房屋补助、职训辅导、市政府相关服务等。

我们已经和各类专业人士达到伙伴协定，将尽力為各种疑难问题找到答案，同时，已经礼聘曾任中学校长的廷纳博士出任中心主任。

今天我们又开始了一段不寻常的服务旅程，我们甚盼大家能同舟共济，穿越和克服我们最黑暗和艰困的日子。

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.
