Volunteers: Project Mentor

Last month, Columbus Public Schools announced a major initiative, Project Mentor.

CPS is working in conjunction with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Ohio to provide mentors for 1,000 8th graders. Mentors will be screened and receive training before being paired with a CPS student, and mentors will meet with their student for one hour each week, either before or after the school day.

Are you interested? If so, then you can get additional information about Project Mentor and the opportunity to work with a CPS student by calling 839-KIDS or by visiting www.projectmentorcolumbus.org.

ASHA is honored to host a showing and discussion of this documentary about domestic violence in the South Asian community in England. In response to domestic violence in all forms, from physical abuse to forced marriages to honor killings, a small group of women banded together to, similar to ASHA, address domestic violence in the minority community and to build community awareness.

This powerful documentary presents a forceful analysis of the unique issues that domestic violence victims in the South Asian community face and includes an overview of the attitudinal shifts and cultural competency necessary to understand domestic violence within ethnic communities.
