November Cause of the Month – House of Wisdom

 

The November Cause of the month is the House of Wisdom. House of Wisdom provides personalized tutoring for our community with a focus on marginalized and disadvantaged communities. Their primary purpose is to help immigrants, refugees, and international students from children to adults academically and socially in their transition to America.

Ahmad Hilal Abid, who emigrated from Afghanistan to the U.S. when he was 17 years old, started a small class with 20 immigrants and refugee students in his garage at home in 2020. He began by helping students with school assignments in Math and English. His services became so popular in the community, necessitating a move to a larger space in Lynnwood, Wash. The House of Wisdom now helps over 100 students.

The funds donated by EUUC will be used by House of Wisdom towards their work to empower people with the skills and critical thinking abilities necessary to have a positive lifestyle in America. 

Please consider helping The House of Wisdom to continue assisting refugees, immigrants, and all community members to build the skills to find immediate and advanced employment.
