The volunteers in the three-room office on East Park Avenue help about 100 to 150 refugees a month with everything from immigration questions to applying for a driver’s license or putting together a résumé.<br /><br />Ziauddin, a 47-year-old Alpine resident, said he has been largely funding the refugee center out of his own pocket since it opened. He estimated he’s spent about $50,000, but his funds are running short. He’s applying for government grants, but money for the bills is getting tight while he waits to hear if any of the requests for funds have been approved.<br /><br />“Still, I have hope that this center will not close,” he said.<br /><br /><br />http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/may/08/refugee-center-in-financial-struggle/<br /><br /><br />++++++++++<br /><br />We will never see those murderous war supporter assholes step up and help these people.Dancewaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733269960341895623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812043282272915800.post-83059152286266002102010-05-10T10:13:56.300-07:002010-05-10T10:13:56.300-07:00Thousands return, millions stay away....

The assailants used silencers, a new gangland-style twist to their attacks.<br /><br />In the hours that followed, two bombs, also targeting police, exploded in the capital. Other blasts occurred outside the homes of policemen in Fallujah, west of Baghdad. A Fallujah resident said one of the houses destroyed belonged to a policeman killed two years ago and that the victims were family members. "What did they do?" he asked.<br /><br />In the northern city Mosul, a suicide bomber exploded a car near a checkpoint guarded by national and Kurdish forces. Two blasts also rocked Suwayra, southeast of Baghdad. In the deadliest attack, two car bombs struck workers in Hilla, in central Iraq.Dancewaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733269960341895623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812043282272915800.post-18807244217377917642010-05-10T10:06:39.105-07:002010-05-10T10:06:39.105-07:00I agree, we cannot do anything to bring real secur...I agree, we cannot do anything to bring real security to the Iraqi people and we never could. <br /><br />We sure as hell should pay MASSIVE REPARATIONS though.Dancewaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733269960341895623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812043282272915800.post-7787554144568073512010-05-10T10:05:30.842-07:002010-05-10T10:05:30.842-07:00Well yes, but as the U.S. continues to reduce its ...Well yes, but as the U.S. continues to reduce its role the Iraqis are going to have to find their way to a solution. At this point, there just isn't very much of a constructive role that the U.S. can play. The forces have been set in motion and they are going to play out as they will, sadly.Cervanteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11302076828795198187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812043282272915800.post-18274869051344727642010-05-10T09:56:58.757-07:002010-05-10T09:56:58.757-07:00lots more dead and injured people in Iraq, thanks ...lots more dead and injured people in Iraq, thanks to those murderous assholes in the US and UK who started this war and the murderous idiots who still support it. <br /><br />may they rot in hellDancewaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733269960341895623noreply@blogger.com
