AMAAM Calls for a silent fund raising period (March 25-May 15, 2011, from New
Americans, friends, Refugees, Immigrants and Clients.
AMAAM would like to thank so many African refugees and immigrants for their heartfelt moral support in these times of economic recession , we appreciate the friendship and good wishes for the volunteer director and staff, who are continuing to provide free service with no or little compensation. We are indebted to Central Reform Congregation, the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, African immigrant businesses for the support and encouragement. We believe that, "Tough times never last but tough people do", to borrow a phrase from Robert Schuler. Times are tough, but we must raise to the occasion to help the most vulnerable with what we have. We thank the Lutheran Foundation and the International Institute for enabling us to continue our provision of health education and refugee assistance. We thank our clients for their fortitude, courage who have shown us how to live with our own means by example. We thank our supportive Board for their generosity.
We are sending out letters for silent fund-raising for people who appreciate our work and closely understand the dedication of our staff, volunteers and associates who give meaning and value for living the sake of others, a contagious spirit of regeneration, growth and service that is uplifting. People who believe in us and understand our commitment of 30 years regarding the most vulnerable African refugees and immigrants, people who know our heart as a "GIVING TREE". It is good to make money for a living; life will be even beautiful and meaningful when people are helped with no strings attached. The silent fund raising period of March 25 to May 15, 2011 is to cover for reasonable expenses , like for 1 years rent, computers, telephone, internet access, snacks/ food for meetings and classes, office insurance, multipurpose TV for C-Span and citizenship education, educational videos, CDs and books on tolerance and dialog. Our call is for giving and we believe that GIVING IS RECEVING.

“What do I believe? As an American I believe in generosity, in liberty, in the rights of man. These are social and political faiths that are part of me, as they are, I suppose, part of all of us. Such beliefs are easy to express. ”
