New Life Centers staff from Nicaragua had the opportunity to visit Northern Illinois University to present about our work and their personal testimonies.
Lenin Altamirano is currently our Marketing Specialist and Ada Soza is Program Resource Manager of New Vecinos. This couple shared the life-threatening reasons behind leaving Nicaragua and gave details about their journey to the U.S.
For Dr. Nancy Domínguez, Director of the Department of Language and Cultures and professor in the Spanish Department at NIU, this session represents a valuable opportunity to share impactful stories students can apply to their academic and professional careers.
These cultural exchanges with students help transform the negative ideas of immigration and help address the problem from a more human approach to advocate for these vulnerable groups.
At New Life Centers, we are committed to supporting people in shelters and connecting them with additional resources in the city, as they transition to a new life in this country.
