Refugee One SWOT Analysis
Over 2,758 refugees arrived to Chicago in 2014 alone. It means a large number of re-settlers are going to find a place in the world again. They’ll have to find a place to live, learn English, get a job, send kids to school and so on. This could be intimidating since most of those people can’t speak English, are unfamiliar with American culture, and all of those needs have to be fulfilled at the same time. The refugees have a tremendous pressure to adapt and find their place in the community that they’ve been settled. To make the process smoother a non-profit organization Refugee One specializes in Refugee resettlement services. Refugee One has many strengths and opportunities; however, it has to fix its weaknesses

The organization is foregoing telling volunteers about their organization and why they’re there. I think volunteer and the organization’s motivations are misaligned. As we heard in our Lincoln Park Zoo field trip, if volunteers are not aligned with the organization, they might start acting within their own rules. Most of the volunteers are students either from college or high school and some are interns. After seeing people in action for a few days, it is clear that volunteers are focus on the end and not the process of helping. This creates problems where they have lack of motivation to do an outstanding job and instead settle for just passing time until they can get out. According to [OTT footnote], when managing volunteers, they must know a clear reason why they’re there. It also ties up with Simon Sinek talk where he argues that why is very important question which drives behavior [Simon Sinek …show more content…
Therefore, Refugee’s one biggest threat is a change in the government because 70% of their funds come from them. In case of a change of leadership which would be less favorable of supporting refugees, the organization could be in trouble in terms of funding. Also, some of their funding is tied to their performance which in the subdivision I been serving is measured by the level of English refugee kids was able to obtain. In case Refugee One is unable to reach a predetermined level of English speaking, writing, and reading skills their funding might be curtailed. Because Refugee One is a non-profit, and not a government organization, their funding depends on quality of their service and relevance of its mission; therefore, the organization must keep up its performance. The last threat I recognized is economic downturn which might mean reduction in funding since both the government and individuals suffer financially and cut down on their
A Refugee is a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. Ha’s a 10 year old girl from saigon who is a refugee, she had to flee her home in saigon, before she fled her her she was a very stubborn and sassy. The title of the book is Inside out and back again by Thanhha Lai.
If refugee transitions loses funding or goes out of business, refugees will run into many problems. The first problem that would cause trouble is, “Refugee Transitions offers classes and tutoring in its place for people who have nowhere else to go” (Gurung). Without these necessary classes refugees may have no way of learning english, which leaves very few ways to make money and find a job. Another reasons refugees would have issues is, “Many of us do not speak English, and lack of education makes it even more difficult for us to learn the language here.” This inability to learn english may cause everyday things like getting groceries and taking the bus difficult. The final reason Refugee transitions is too important to go out of business is,
The start of the Atlantic National refugee is the start of all the findings in the areas of mountains and where the animals of the towns come into the picture and play a huge role in their culture. The villagers become a huge part in the agriculture and where it falls in their background. Carter deftly employs personal anecdote, statistics/data, and word choice to sway his readers.
Commentary 1: Refugees areal deadly facing an awful life and a tough screening process, but even after it is all over their lives will still be far worse than ours. They will be disrespected and have trouble socially fitting into this new
As I sat on the back bench of a 12 passenger van with a coffee in my hand and my head on the back of the seat in front of me, I realized I had nothing left to give. All of energy was gone. I had come to the end of myself. We were driving down a bumpy road to an apartment complex filled with new faces from far away countries. As we drove I realized how much we had been doing every day and the weight of the things we had seen started to sink in. The refugees of Clarkson, Georgia had been through so much and I was getting a small glimpse into their lives during this week. However, it was Thursday afternoon and I was tired. We had been helping kids in the school all morning, then explored and ate at an international market, and my stomach was starting to turn from the ethnic food we had eaten. As we drove along and our leader described the after school program we would be working with I realized how physically exhausted I was. I began to pray for strength from God, and I told him that anything that
There is a critical need to support Refugee Services of Texas and the services it provides to the local refugee community. Without these services many of this community would not be able to navigate the state’s social services as effectively nor would they be able to support themselves financially upon their arrival in the country. The absences of such services lead to a greater risk of these individuals falling victim to poverty, unemployment, homelessness and social isolation.
“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” A quote by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, during his inaugural address in 1933. At that time, America was in the Great Depression, and people needed a message to remind them that they will not get anywhere by being scared. What FDR meant in his quote was that trying new things, conquering obstacles is the right thing to do, and being to scared to try something is just unacceptable. The word ‘fearless’.
First of all, I would like to appreciate you for all the help you have been offering to refugees here in Charlotte. Being one of your clients help me notice that all you say and do is dominated on work and income, but I think you should try to encouraging the young ones to attend school to have a better future which they came for. I would be good if you would start practicing it. It is not something difficult or time consuming, all you have to do is tell them the importance of education and letting them know that they can’t live their whole life working under a minimum wage.
America needs to work to remove the stereotype associated with refugees in order to get them the help they need and deserve. According to Psychology Today, in the 21st century, the number of terrorism related deaths that refugees were responsible for is 0. Moreover, research shows that highly
Throughout American history, immigrants have been entering the country to avoid political corruption and civil rights violations. The United States have been a safe haven for many. According to the articles; The Refugees at Our Door, A Few Other Times Countries Banned Religious or Ethnic Groups and Feds to states: No, you cannot ban Syrian refugees, America has been a home for people seeking asylum. Attempting to ban refugees from entering the country shows how unethical the morals of America has become. America does not have the ethical right to stop the immigration of refugees, however, it is acceptable for Americans to have their reservations as to whether it is safe to accept strangers into their homes.
When enacting policies toward asylum seekers and refugees, countries always examine the impact of the economic burden that an influx of vulnerable people is going to have on the country. Accepting refuges requires to government of the asylum country to provide access to housing, welfare, healthcare and education to the new immigrants. Access to career services is also required in order for the new immigrants to receive training and certification needed for them to get employed. However, all these services cause an economic strain in the lives of citizens of asylum countries that is reflected in their taxes. In order to minimize the burden, many countries enact laws that decrease the access to social rights and educational institutions.
It is noted that, refugees and asylum seekers come to United States due to fear of persecution and also escape war in their country of origin. The main intention of refugees is protection of their family’s lives and therefore, they migrate to another country for the
Refugees are facing serious problems right now. Right now there are over 90,000 refugees from Mexico and Central America (Palacios). The refugees include children who are in dire need of a safe-haven. These refugees need the help of Doctors without borders.
The creation of the United States of America was caused almost solely by refugees seeking a life away from persecution. Nowadays, however, it seems that the topic of refugees has entered a field of uncertainty and doubt. These people, who seek to escape from war-torn zones or for the sake of asylum, are being turned away due to issues that include their religion, race, or custom. Refugees are no longer looked at as people in need but rather people to question, whether for the sake of national safety or prejudice toward one subgroup of people. Countries around the world, including the United States, need to come up with plans to not only help ease the transition of relocation but to help families reunite in such a devastating time.
It is human nature to pursue living in a place with happiness and peace. If people suffer a lot in an region, they must begin to find another place in order to survive. Many people around the world suffer a lot, such as hunger and violence, especially in some Asian countries. These situations can be caused by a war for many years, terrorists or natural disaster. Today, because of the war in Syria, millions of refugees are trying to move to other countries, including the United States. Therefore, it is necessary for US to take in refugees because it is our responsibility and morality to care about victims and refugees.
