Annual Report 2011

• accompany • serve • advocate

ON THE COVER Chad: A grant from U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migrants enabled JRS to build secondary schools in Goz Beida and Koukou Angarana to help ensure that refugees from Sudan’s Darfur region have access to a qual-ity secondary education. Among the nearly 200 students attending secondary education classes, there are 63 teachers from the primary schools in the camps. Those teachers participate in the education of 9,328 students.

The mission of Jesuit Refugee Service/USA is to accompany, serve and advocate for the rights of refugees and other forcibly displaced persons, witnessing to God’s presence in vulnerable and often forgotten people driven from their homes by conflict, natural disaster, economic injustice, or violation of their human rights.

Be not afraid to have strangers in your house, for some thereby have entertained angels unaware. Hebrews 13:2

Dear Friends of Jesuit Refugee Service/USA —

This Fall I have concluded my first year as National Director of JRS/USA. It has been a year of visiting all of our works, listening to the JRS workers in the field, and experiencing first-hand the lives of refugees, internally displaced people and detainees whom we strive to serve. In this short introduction to our Annual Report, I would like to share with you several of the highlights of these visits to give you a small taste of what is the work of JRS/USA which you so generously support.

Here in the United States, we work providing pastoral care and religious services in four federal detention centers, as well as one county institution, ranging from Buffalo to Los Angeles. Watching the heroic ef-forts of JRS workers — priests, religious sisters, and lay people — to accompany these detainees, offering religious comfort and care to those whose very human dignity is threatened is a moving experience.

What amazed me over and over again was the re-spect that these workers have with both the prison populations as well as with the authorities. In each site, I have witnessed the humanizing effect that pres-ence, accompaniment, pastoral care, and counseling can have on those facing deportation — and those in charge. Providing the means to practice the basic human right to worship as one sees fit is a powerful force for good.

Over the last few years, with the help of funding from the U.S. government, private foundations and indi-viduals, JRS/USA has been able to reach out to JRS teams throughout Africa. We have been able to help them provide sustainable and cost-effective educa-tion systems, build primary and secondary schools and reach out to the most vulnerable of groups in Kenya, South Sudan, Chad, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and now Ethiopia. I personally opened two schools in Congo — one for 1000 boys and girls, the other for 700; children who had only known exile and deprivation their entire lives.

I listened to the words of gratitude from parents who never could have imagined that they would live to see their children in such a well-built and equipped school. And I understood the hunger that all felt for peace, stability, and a return to rebuilding

a devastated homeland. I had similar experiences listening to refugees in South Sudan, returning home after decades of civil war — a war that cost millions their lives and many more their homes and livelihoods. I also noted with somber awareness the ever-present danger sign marking unexploded landmines.

Let me conclude by sharing the joy of JRS-sponsored works a little closer to home — Haiti. The unimaginable tragedy caused by the massive earthquake was compounded by frustration that the mountains of red tape seemed that any progress was impossible. I am happy to say that we were able to work some minor miracles in a handful of projects close to the border with the Dominican Republic: children are being fed; schools are built and open; clean water projects are addressing the problems of sanitation and cholera; and families have their lives restored. Truly remarkable!

But none of these things would be possible without your constant and generous support. On behalf of all that we strive to serve, accompany and defend, thank you for your help to JRS/USA and our co-workers around the world.

With every good wish and blessing,

Fr. Mike Evans S.J.

Accompaniment is an essential element of both the mission and methodology of Jesuit Refugee Service/USA. To accompany means to be a companion. We are com-panions of Jesus, so we wish to be companions of those with whom he preferred to be associated, the poor and the outcast. Accompaniment is a practical and effective

action, and is often precisely the way in which service is provided. Our accompaniment often leads to advocacy, as we seek to give voice and visibility to the needs and

aspirations of the refugees with which JRS lives and works.

Jesuit Refugee Service/USA has for 10 years both accompanied and served detained migrants and asylum seekers through our Detention Chaplaincy Program. JRS/USA chaplaincy programs provide pastoral and religious assistance to meet the needs of non-citizens by promoting courage, hope and peace for detainees in the day-to-day routines of their lives inside a detention facility.

We believe that ensuring detainee access to a Reli-gious Service Program is crucially important because detainees have a fundamental right to freedom and exercise of religion. JRS/USA is advocating for the adoption by the U.S. government of binding guidance

that will guarantee access to religious services in all detention facilities throughout the U.S., regardless of whether the facilities are operated by the federal gov-ernment, local law enforcement or private contractors.

Access to pastoral care, to a sympathetic ear and an open heart helps to stabilize and comfort de-tained asylum seekers and migrants as they transition through the immigration detention system. Access to their faith tradition is especially important for men and women who face family separation and who may have entered our borders fleeing generalized violence, religious persecution or extreme economic hardship.

Some of the most forgotten and the most vulnerable people in the United States are those migrants held in

immigration detention centers pending deportation. The vulnerability of these people does not end with depor-tation, however; many of the migrants we encounter at

the Kino Border Initiative in Nogales, Mexico, find them-selves stranded in the border town far away from their homes and families, with few options or resources to

plan for a future life in Mexico or Central America.

In collaboration with partner groups, JRS/USA serves the Church via the Kino Border Initiative by providing op-portunities for pastoral formation and advocacy for the

protection of human rights along the border between the U.S. and Mexico. KBI offers immediate assistance and pastoral accompaniment to migrants who have been

deported from the U.S.

The Centro para Atención a los Migrantes Deportados, KBI offers meals, basic medical assistance, and cloth-ing to the recently deported. At the Casa Nazaret shel-ter, KBI offers safe room and board to unaccompanied

women and children who are otherwise extremely vulnerable to exploitation and abuse.

chaplains from detention centers across the United States during a three-day meeting in Los Angeles in August. JRS/USA based the training on knowledge gained via our long years of service to detain-ees. The training, and the creation of an on-line Religious Service Program Guide to assist chaplains at detention centers throughout the United States, was made pos-sible by a grant from an anony-mous foundation.

“Faith oftentimes brings hope. Faith brings resilience. Faith brings the strength to survive through the often isolating and difficult experi-ence of detention,” said attendee Rev. David Fraccaro, who coor-dinates the National Detention Visitation Network.

Long before the crippling earth-quake of January 2010, Jesuit Refugee Service had a grass-roots presence in Haiti. In addi-tion to our work within Haiti, JRS has served the needs of Haitian refugees, forced migrants and stateless people in the neighbor-ing Dominican Republic for more than 15 years.

JRS takes its responsibility for prudent stewardship of the gifts entrusted to us very seriously. Following the emergency phase, we have focused our Haiti re-lief on ways to best accompany the people of Haiti today while providing long-term solutions for tomorrow.

A project spearheaded by Catholic nuns and sponsored by Jesuit Refugee Service will bring healthy water and reliable irriga-tion to the mountain village of Los Cacaos in central Haiti. With the outbreak of the cholera epidemic in 2010, the people of Los Ca-caos were wracked with illness and death.

To supply fresh and clean wa-ter to the community, the nuns devised a plan to pipe water from higher in the mountains to stone cisterns, and then piped it further to the central community and sur-rounding fields.

“It’s like God came from heaven to the earth because now our children will have a future,” said Mr. Presner, a resident of Los Cacaos, of the water project.

The Los Cacaos project will bring fresh water from high in the mountains to cisterns, where it can be stored and then pumped on to the community. (Jesuit Refugee Service/USA)

(Christian Fuchs — JRS/USA)

Jesuit Refugee Service/USA is funding an early childhood de-velopment program in the Haitian community of Fond Parisien, and pre-school nutrition is an impor-tant component of the program. Currently 195 children are direct beneficiaries of the new school and nutrition program.

Throughout the developing world, JRS comes across displaced parents living in poverty forced to choose between paying for their children’s education and buy-ing basic essentials. Even when education is nominally free, teach-ers’ salaries are often not paid, so families are forced to contribute. Too often, parents, unable to af-ford the costs of their children’s education, are forced to take them out of school.

To cover the operational costs of a new school in Anse-à-Pitres, a JRS scholarship will provide $100 directly to the school for each displaced child enrolled, and also about $150 directly to the student for shoes, uniforms and school supplies so the child is able to at-tend school.

Jesuit Refugee Service is supporting an educa-tion project in the Altagracia Parish in the Diocese of Barahona in the Dominican Republic. Two migrant worker villages in the area are home to Haitians and Dominican-born people of Haitian descent.

“I know that education does not just teach a person how to read and write. An educated student is more open, and has a bigger vision for the future,” said Fr. Antonio Fernandez Rodriguez of Altagracia Parish.

Over the past decade, rising numbers of Dominican citizens have had their nationality and identity docu-ments retroactively revoked by the government in an attempt to cement an ethnic under-class of stateless persons without the full rights guar-anteed under the Dominican Consti-tution. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights ruled this policy is an “impermissible racially discrimina-tory application of nationality laws.” The newly cre-ated Dominican Constitution (2010) eliminated the right to birthright citizen-ship for the children of undocumented migrants, and has caused immeasurable problems for those children born after 2010 to Haitian migrants.

To raise awareness about the Dominican govern-ment’s practice of denationalizing Dominicans of Haitian heritage and about the grassroots Movement for a Civil Registry Free of Discrimination, JRS/USA sponsored the visit of two staff members from the Dominican Republic.

Sonia Adames and Ana Maria Belique testified in Oc-tober in front of the Inter-American Com-mission on Human Rights, participated in a Conference on Statelessness and the Right to Nation-ality at Georgetown University, and presented at brief-ings in the Congress and Senate. Sonia Adames is the Direc-tor of JRS in Santo Domingo; Ana Maria Belique, personally affected by the dena-tionalization policy, leads the accompa-niment portfolio of the Santo Domingo office, supporting 70

groups throughout the Dominican Republic whose members are at risk of losing their citizenship.

The plight of Colombian refugees and displaced persons is the most persistent humanitarian crisis in the Western Hemi-sphere; it may also be one of the most ignored in the world. The armed conflict among guerillas, paramilitaries and the Colombian armed forces has resulted in the targeted persecution and internal and cross-border displacement of more than five million Colombians. Working in partnership with JRS offices in Colombia, Panama and Ecuador, we continue to ad-vocate to bring attention and protection to displaced Colombians, both through programs of local support, integration and international resettlement.

Jesuit Fr. Carlos Rubiano, 73, provides sacramental services at the Soacha Pastoral Center. Fr. Rubiano, along with a team of nuns and younger Jesuits, is the only official presence of the Catholic Church in this community. Fleeing violence, four to five Colombian families arrive in Soacha everyday. According to UN-HCR, Soacha has 30,850 people who are officially registered as internally displaced persons.

Colombia

JRS/USA is particularly concerned about the plight of Colombian refugees in the Latin American region. In Panama the human rights situation of Colombian refugees is particularly precarious, despite a recent advocacy victory in November 2011 that resulted in the offer of regularization for Colombian refugees who lived under govern-ment confinement in the Darién Jungle.

The previous Panamanian government policy restricted access to livelihoods, dignified housing, work authorization and education for the confined Colombian refugees for more than ten years. These refugees still receive little assistance and live in extreme poverty and isolation in the remote jungle region.

Our advocacy on behalf of this population has resulted in in-creased international attention to their situation and the offer of permanent residency by the Pana-manian government. JRS/USA continues to work with JRS—Panama to provide assistance to this refugee community, by obtaining foundation support for their efforts to improve housing and provide other care to refugees in Darien and throughout Panama.

JRS is concerned that refugees in Panama continue to suffer from a restrictive protection environ-ment and a broken asylum system that grants recognition to only 2% of refugee applicants annually. The lack of opportunities such as integration into Panamanian society or resettlement to another country is troubling, and JRS continues to advocate for those durable solutions.

Through the generous funding of the Koch Foundation, Jesuit Refugee Service will assist local parishes in providing pastoral and spiritual support to refugees, asylum seekers, migrants, and host populations in Jaque (above), Puerto Piña, and Panama City. A grant from the Loyola Foundation enabled the purchase of a truck, an invaluable resource for the JRS Panama team as they strive to bring personnel and materials to repair dilapidated housing and assist the isolated Colombian refugees confined to Panama’s border region. (Sergi Camara — JRS)

While the nation of South Sudan celebrated its independence in July 2011, two decades of war left behind dilapidated schools and infrastructure. Guided by our mission to accompany and serve, JRS has continued in South Sudan the educational ministry we had begun for Sudanese refugees when they lived in camps during the war.

Through grants provided by the U.S. State Depart-ment’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM), JRS has improved access to primary educa-tion by building three primary schools and supporting seven schools in South Sudan.

JRS fosters community involvement in the schools, including school management committees, parent teacher associations, and cultural and peace-building activities. JRS considers these programs an op-portunity for returned refugees to experience the full benefits of peace while paving the way for a prosper-ous and secure future.

In addition to our educational outreach, a JRS pas-toral programme in Lobone provides training, material and spiritual support for six Catholic communities in Lobone sub-county. JRS works in conjunction with the parish and the Diocese of Torit and conducts workshops to train choirs, youth groups and mem-bers of the local chapel council.

Fr. Richard O’Dwyer, S.J. takes a measurement during construc-tion of a new school in Kabi. An anonymous gift of $80,000 from a U.S. donor has funded the construction of a secondary school in Kabi, slated to open in November of this year. This project has the goal of improving access to secondary education for the surround-ing population. (JRS Eastern Africa)

JRS has operated in the area for 10 years, and presently offers assistance in primary and secondary education, teacher training, and affirmative action and peace education. We fully believe that all of the basic tools will be in place for Kabi Secondary School to provide a quality secondary education to the local population for many years to come. (JRS Eastern Africa)

Promoting access to preschool for internally displaced children was the goal when Jesuit Refugee Service started an education project in eastern Chad in September 2008. JRS manages a preschool project at six sites in this arid region, which directly benefits more than 1700 children who attend the schools.

JRS/USA National Director Fr. Michael Evans, S.J., cuts the ribbon to open a new school in Katanga. PRM grants en-abled JRS to build two pri-mary schools in the Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The first school will educate nearly 1000 students; the second will serve 700 — and a sister school nearby for 600 is already in the planning stages.

Food supplies are being loaded into a truck — 220 pounds at a time — for delivery to vulnerable refugees who are also beneficiaries of the JRS primary school program in Djabal Refugee Camp outside of Goz Beida. Food security and malnutrition have long been an issue in eastern Chad. JRS made the decision to help families of pre-school students with food delivery to ensure that the most vulner-able youth and families were not at risk of malnutrition. Before the food distribution in projects began in March 2011, there were about 1054 students in the pre-schools. When JRS started the support to families via the dry food distribution, the number of enrolled stu-dents ballooned to around 1732 by June 2011. (Christian Fuchs — JRS/USA)

Taking advantage of new tech-nologies and improved internet connectivity, the JRS initiative Jesuit Commons-Higher Educa-tion at the Margins has since 2010 piloted access to tertiary education in refugee settings, linking university teachers in the U.S. with students in refugee camps in Kakuma in Kenya and Dzaleka in Malawi. JC-HEM enables refugees to study, in English, for a Diploma in Liberal Studies via the internet. (Angelika Mendes — JRS)

Fr. Michael Evans works with special needs children at Kakuma Refugee Camp. JRS efforts at Kakuma, home to more than 85,000 refugees in Kenya, include a Safe Haven for vulnerable women and children; the care of refugees with physi-cal, mental, and emotional challenges; and outreach to those who cannot make it to the JRS Centers. Much of this work is generously funded via PRM. (JRS/USA)

“I help students on a part time basis in (Jesuit Com-mons, Higher Education at the Margins) with their Eng-lish writing. I was hopeful that Kakuma would afford me, and therefore the So-ciety, the chance to come to know the Somali people, their hopes, their Muslim faith, their pain. And men-toring students in the JC-HEM program has fulfilled that hope.” — Gary Smith, S.J.

Bhutanese refugees in Nepal have languished in refugee camps for 17 years while hoping for an opportunity to return to their homeland in safety and dignity.

Jesuit Refugee Service has advo-cated for the resettlement of this community in the United States and other countries, and is sup-porting JRS Nepal in its efforts to ensure that the refugee population has full and accurate information on resettlement so that they may make an informed choice about this option. We are also working to ensure that the Bhutanese contin-ue to receive adequate assistance and education while they remain in Nepal.

More than 50,000 Bhutanese have now been resettled – half of the total refugee population. About 10,000 are expected to choose to remain in Nepal after the resettle-ment is over. JRS continues to advocate for a generous program of support to help integration these refugees into the Nepalese community.

All of the younger refugees – thanks to education provided by JRS – have learned to speak English, and a few have secured scholarships to local col-lages. With resources from the few international organizations that supply the camps, the refugees manufacture cloth and soap for local consumption, repair bicycles and motor-cycles and grow small vegetable plots. (Peter Balleis, S.J. — JRS)

Bhutanese refugees in Nepal demonstrate againt human trafficking. This demonstration was part of the ‘16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence.’ JRS upholds the dignity of the human person, freedom from discrimination and right to the security of the person. JRS believes in reversing the discriminatory effects for victims in order to restore and reinforce their competence and self-worth. In our projects, JRS supports access to health care, preventative education and legal justice for victims and survivors of sexual and gender-based violence — either as individuals or as groups. JRS directly provides safe havens, mental health care services, psychosocial sup-port for survivors and advocacy for effective durable solutions for those who are continually at risk. JRS has also been an implementing partner for UNHCR and other donor-funded projects aimed at preventing and responding to SGBV. (JRS)

JRS operates a medical facility inside a detention center in Thailand, providing supplementary food for at-risk populations, and cleaning and sanitation sup-plies to cut down on infection risks. JRS also admin-isters a program of tuberculosis testing and treatment for detainees.

The TB program was to be cut in 2011 due to lack of funding, but a $20,000 grant from the J. Homer Butler Foundation allows the program to continue to serve detainees.

Additionally, JRS/USA provided $22,389 to JRS Thai-land for pastoral care of the vulnerable population in the Mae Hong Son Refugee Camps. Fr. Dominic blesses the matrimonial union of two young refu-

gees in front of the community. Thailand continues to host nearly 150,000 refugees in nine camps along the Thai-Burma border. (JRS Thailand)

Despite heightened international awareness of the issues facing refugees in urban areas, serious barriers remain for organizations such as Jesuit Refugee Ser-vice seeking to help such refugees to meet their daily needs and to achieve long-term solutions.

Although all urban refugees share the same needs for legal protection, personal security, psychologi-cal and social support and, of course, shelter, food, medical care and education, the access to such assistance varies widely due to the attitudes of host governments and the availability of local resources.

There are no refugee camps in South Africa, but JRS operates programs for urban refugees in South Africa’s two major cities, Pretoria and Johannesburg.

South African law stipulates that refugees should have access to employment as well as to basic services such as schools and hospitals. Those few fortunate enough to get legal refugee status will be al-lowed to stay and become a permanent part of South African society.

JRS’ work on behalf of refugees in South Africa revolves around helping refugees obtain access to the benefits that are theoretically available to them, but which are often difficult to obtain. The Raskob Foun-dation provided $25,000 to support JRS programs in South Africa that help refugees become self-reliant by matching them with job opportunities, vocational training, and training and grants for small businesses.

Josta Kabaga of JRS teaches English to a class of adults in Pretoria.Through advocacy to UNHCR and local authorities, direct assistance with food, housing and medical expenses, education, livelihood projects, counseling and referral services, JRS addresses the broad spectrum of needs of urban refugees in South Africa and elsewhere. Pastoral care, outreach, coun-seling and social support are key elements of JRS programs. JRS works with NGO partners to assist and improve the lives of urban refugees. (Christian Fuchs — JRS/USA)

Urban Refugees — South Africa

The overall goal of JRS is to ensure increased self-sufficiency that ultimately leads asylum seekers and refugees to viable local integration. Stephanie, (above right) a refugee from DRC, told us of her journey to self-reliance: “We were working as volunteers … and our children were in creches [day-care centers], but … the [daycare] fees were very high. Then we …asked, ‘Why can’t we open one for refugees?’”

After taking classes with JRS and receiving a small business grant, Stephanie opened her own day-care center. “We found ourselves with a huge demand. We care for 200 children now. Now we are 15 women in this business. We no longer have to receive help from JRS because we are self-reliant.”

When John McLaughlin (white shirt) ran the 2011 Boston Marathon he did it for the express purpose of help-ing us help refugees. John’s goal was to find 100 partners to support his effort via a gift to JRS/USA. In the end, John raised more than $7,300 from 189 family, friends and associates who enthusiasti-cally supported his effort. Thank you Team McLaughlin! “JRS is doing the work of the Gospel in a very concrete way,” Mr. McLaughlin said. “JRS is working with people and in situations that most of us don’t think of. It is good to know that someone is ac-companying these forgotten people and advocating on their behalf,” he said.

When Todd Bell and Jill Marie Gerschutz made their wedding plans they wanted to share their joy with friends and family. They also chose to share that joy with their favorite charities, including Jesuit Refugee Service/USA. Jill and Todd asked family members to make gifts to JRS/USA and three other charities rather than giving a wedding gift to them. “We wanted to celebrate our sacra-ment of unity remembering the call to serve; charitable donations were one way to do that and to celebrate with all our bothers and sisters,” Jill said. More and more, people are choosing to mark special occasions with a charitable gift to JRS/USA, in celebra-tion of a wedding, confirmation, high school graduation, or par-ent’s wedding anniversary.

Refugee children greet a visitor to the refugee community center in Addis Ababa. The center is one of two programs JRS operates in the Ethiopian capital. The refugee community center is the only one of its kind in the city and offers language courses, library facilities, day-care services, computer classes and psychosocial support. An emergency needs program offers financial support and counseling services to refugees. (Christian Fuchs — JRS/USA)

JRS/USA Associate Advocacy Director Shaina Aber speaks to actors from the Sacra-mento Jesuit High School Drama Club before a dress rehearsal of Imago Dei: Journeys of Courage, Hope & Home. The play, written and produced by the students, is about the experiences of refugees and the forcibly displaced and based on Jesuit Refugee Service’s 30 years of accompaniment, service and advocacy on behalf of refugees. In addition to students from Jesuit High School, other student actors come from St. Francis High, El Camino High and Rio Americano High. “We hope the production of Imago Dei: Journeys of Courage, Hope & Home on campuses around the country will inspire lifelong advocates for refugees and the world’s displaced, and supporters and advocates for the work of JRS/USA,” said Aber.

When Madeline Lacovara came to know Jesuit Refugee Service/USA she felt an instant connection to its mission and priorities. She has served on the board since 2009 and she and her hus-band Philip recently made adjustments to their estate plans to include JRS/USA as a beneficiary of their estate. “It has been our pleasure to support the work of JRS at our southern border through the Kino Border Initiative. Now we also find that JRS can have an impact on the tragic situation in the Horn of Africa with our support. Because JRS sees and moves swiftly to help the neediest of our brothers and sisters, they are part of our chari-table giving after our deaths. We want JRS to continue with its marvelous work long after we are gone!”

When Maria Leonard read the February edition of Praying With Refugees about the plight of Iraqi refugees in Syria, she wanted to do something to help them and soon made a $1000 contribu-tion to JRS/USA. Maria’s gift covered the cost of transportation to school for eight young Iraqi students for the remainder of 2011. Maria said, “I’m glad to contribute to an organization that I know does good work for the poor...and in this case for the Iraqi refu-gees.” (photo of Iraqi family in Damascus by Peter Balleis, S.J.)

(Left) Two Somali refugee girls who have just arrived with their mother and brother wait for registration at the Dollo Ado reception center. More than 80 percent of the refugee population are children below the age of 18. (Right) Refugees fleeing the drought and conflict in Somalia carry what little they still possess to the transit center in Dollo Ado refugee camp in Ethiopia. The area is hot, dry, dusty and windy. “Given that there are so many children under 18 around, I think the best way to create a conducive environment for them is to build schools. When they are in school, they have something meaningful to do and are secure. It also gives them a perspective for their future,” said Jesuit Refugee Service Eastern Africa Regional Director Fr. Frido Pflueger S.J. (Angelika Mendes — JRS Eastern Africa)

Students share a textbook during an English class in Djabal Refugee Camp outside of Goz Beida, Chad. JRS programs address the long-term needs of refugees and displaced people. Education projects at refugee camps give refugees a sense of purpose. They combat boredom and despair and create the foundation for a better future. JRS income-generating projects empower the displaced, who learn basic business skills and are helped to start successful small businesses. JRS also addresses the spiritual needs of refugees through catechist training, prayer groups, and distribution of the Eucharist. JRS staff and volunteers are proud that they have provided this support while maintaining a mutual sense of accompaniment that builds trust and recognizes the common humanity of those they serve.

The government of Panama confines Colombian refugees who cross into Panama to the Darien, a jungle region on the border. In the small Darien town of Jaque, children have no access to secondary education. Health care is minimal, and many children suffer from parasitic diseases. This 58 year-old woman has lived in Jaque, Panama since 1998. She said she has no hope for the future, and says her people live “like slaves” in Panama. They have no access to heath care, food assistance or jobs. She simply wants a chance to leave the jungle and find a future for her family. Despite her circumstances she said she prefers life in confinement in Panama to life in Colombia. “There I lived with the con-stant nightmare of death. Here I can sleep through the night though I often go hungry,” she said. (Shaina Aber — JRS/USA)

Actors from the Sacramento Jesuit High School Drama Club answer audience questions after the premier of Imago Dei: Journeys of Courage, Hope & Home. JRS/USA pitched the idea of commissioning students to use true accounts compiled by JRS/USA during years of assisting and supporting uprooted people to write a script and produce a play, thus al-lowing audiences to ‘stand in the shoes’ of forcibly displaced people and refugees to gain a deeper understanding of what life is like for them.

“Jesuit Refugee Service accompaniment is the purposeful and open pres-ence to individuals or communities, through a response deriving from re-ligious and humanitarian concerns, and which has special implications for

service and advocacy work.” — Fr. Joe Hampson, S.J.

Each Friday the JRS Emergency Needs Program office in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, hosts a pastoral program, which provides group discussion and counseling for refugees. “Almost every Friday, I come here. This program is so helpful,” said Laurent, a refugee from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. “It’s very difficult to support yourself in this country, because the government does not authorize foreigners and refugees to work … when I have a serious problem I come here. You know, refugees, we have a lot of problems. There is nobody to advise us, and this is the only place where you can get advice on how to live,” Laurent said. (Christian Fuchs — JRS/USA)

A huge challenge for parents in Haiti is being able to buy their child one pair of shoes, two school uniforms, books and notebooks, and to be able to pay the $100 fee — $10 per month during the school year — to sustain the operations of the school. A JRS scholarship program will provide $100 directly to a new school in Anse-à-Pitres for each displaced child enrolled, and also about $150 directly to students for supplies so the child is able to attend school.
