Our missionThe Chin community has been growing in number in Indianapolis since 2000 due to fleeing from the military dictatorship of our mother country, Burma (Myanmar). Having been relocated to a new place and environment, we face many challenges that make us willingly help each other to meet our basic social and human needs. The social condition of the Chin community necessitated the emergence of a community organization to serve its members’ day to day survival.

Ways to help

Homework Assistance

Helping a child with homework; often times there is a language barrier within Chin homes. The children know English, but their parents do not. Helping a child with his or her homework is a great need in the Chin community. Offering one on one help for the child, and the parent, is a great way to bridge the gap.

Practicing English

Many people in the Chin community are in the need of individual practice speaking, writing, and reading English. You don’t need a teaching background, only patience. One on one practice with basic words and phrases is a highly effective way to learn the English language. Many of the people are already taking our English class and would benefit from practicing those skills which they have already been taught.

Rides

Taking someone who does not drive to the grocery store or pharmacy-there are many older Chin people who do not drive. Taking someone to a store or to run an errand, especially during inclement weather, is a great need. And while you are there, take the time to practice those basic English words and phrases!
