"I am from a curious eight-year-old in a new country
to a young teenager comfortable in her new home.
I’m from fear of being killed in civil war to living a peaceful life,
where I can dream of becoming a pediatrician.
From worrying about will I get hit with falling metal
to being excited about each new day.
From one adult landlord friend in Turkey
to a dozen RAMP volunteer tutors and friends…"
Excerpt from: From Fear to Security, by Luna T, 2021
A family of four from El Salvador arrived in October 2023. Our first family from Latin America, the children are enrolled in school and their mother has found a job. All are receiving English language tutoring and building their life in Morris County.
Jackie Bay has been a family coordinator for two families and her relationships with them have become very personal. Jackie says she's had innumerable volunteer roles in her life, but this is the best one she's ever had. "It's a real human connection. You get to participate in the highlights of people's lives."
"There are so many problems in the world that I can't solve, but I can make a big difference to these families."
