Dear Members of the African Community,

As you all know, the School year will be starting soon; and for many newcomers youth, the first years of education in the Canadian system can be challenging and very difficult for some students. The education system in Canada is surely very different from many African education systems, which causes a barrier faced by newcomer youth and their parents.
Conscientious of this challenge, the International African Child Relief is organizing a Workshop on preparing newcomer youth for the school year. This workshop provides important information on the Canadian secondary school system as well as offers details that will help student when choosing courses and making an education plan that can greatly affect students' opportunities for success in school and their careers.
I would like to invite members of the African community the following:

1. Please invite any newcomer youth that you may know to this very important workshop:
2. If you are directly involved with the school system (High School), and would like to share with our newcomer youth group about the Winnipeg school system from an African perspective, and what the newcomer youth can expect from the school, we need your help.
This session is focused on preparing the newcomer youth for their educational development.
The workshop will be on August 22nd, from 11:00 to 2:30 pm, at 249 Notre dame Room 200.
For more information, please call us at 947-5770
