Eastern Kentucky Honors Program Visits SJOM

Mr. Vargas talked to the students about the communities that SJOM serves: Pilsen and Little Village. Pilsen and Little Village have been ports of entry to newly arrived immigrants since the 19th century.

Mr. Vargas described the need the communities have for a place like SJOM, since it is the only residential  program in these neighborhoods that offers not only residential services, but supportive services that will lead to stabilization and self sufficiency to women, women with cOn Wednesday the group received a tour of Families in Crisis in Little Village, to see firsthand the services SJOM offers participants. Afterward, as a project for our families, they made a Muriel for F.I.C’s toddler room with a forest theme. In addition, the study room was livened up to make it a more vibrant atmosphere for our students to study and do their school assignments. Needless to say our Families were very happy and grateful with the visit from EKU. SJOM looks forward to partnering up with EKU for years to come. Thanks Eastern Kentucky University for your time at San Jose Obrero Mission!hildren, and men in the Latino communities.
