TESTIMONIALS

What beneficiaries say about our performance

Since I met with MCIRI team who came to the Refugees shelter in Westminster to help us with paperwork and job readiness skills, my life changed drastically, and I am now working a full time, Job. My English is not correct yet, but they also helped me a lot in learning the basic English for getting that job.
THERESA
Westminster refugee
I only spoke Spanish when I came here and despite my experience in Warehousing in Chile and Brazil, I could not land in a job. I really thank the volunteer team of MCIRI for their endeavor in helping others. Since Feb 2024, I have already had a few interviews and I feel more confident in meeting recruiters.

I came from Haiti with my two kids, and we had a hard time getting by with the snow and the cold and the MCIRI along with the Rev. Demosthene’s church helped us in learning basic skills and better knowing how to manage the kids in a different social environment.

Jinglin

I’m a child of God, a redeemed sinner, a devoted mother of 4 great children, and a Solar Consultant who helps residents and business owners take control back of their energy costs. I realized that our value as humans is measured by how much we give, not how much we take. Let’s help!

Marie Norgaisse

Marie Norgaisse: Board member – Secretary is a retired Registered Nurse and has a track record as volunteer with different organizations serving in the community and abroad. The current influx of refugees presents her an opportunity to be part of the MCIRI Humanitarian organization, focused on serving refugees in need of finding housing, food, learning English, acquiring marketable skills, and finding employment

Stanley Rodriguez

Stanley always wanted to help and is committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need. He joined the “Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti” IJDH where he processed all incoming donations and grant awards and generated appropriate acknowledgement for donors and grantees.

The migrant crisis is another opportunity for Stanley to contribute and help the refugees settle as good citizens here in the state of Massachusetts.
