Mayor’s Community Representative Jonathan Herrera Honors Celebration
On Monday, December 14, 2015, Nile Sisters hosted its third annual Community Celebration and Brunch to recognize the accomplishments of the Nile Sisters employment facilitation program, Back-to-Back (B2B) Skill Development. Honorees included participants, program partners, local government supporters, and sponsors. Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer’s Community Representative, Jonathan Herrera, presented certificates of recognition to B2B participants who successfully completed one of three training programs:
- California Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Vocational Training
- California Family Child-Care Home License Vocational Training
- California Driver’s License Training
The resettlement process for refugees and immigrants is not easy. Each program participant’s hard work to become economically self-sufficient, despite all the challenges and obstacles he or she faces, is truly inspiring. This year, Nile Sisters oversaw the following participant achievements:
- 16 completed CNA training
- 11 earned CNA licenses
- 12 completed child-care training and earned licenses
- 23 received six hours of behind-the-wheel drivier’s training
- 12 earned a California driver’s license
Nile Sisters acknowledges and thanks the following for their assistance in making dreams a reality for our constituents. Program partners: International Health Group, Safety School of Driving and Community Care Licensing. Program sponsors: Office of Refugee Resettlement, San Diego Women Give, and Cox Cares.
