Tony Award Winner Sarah Jones

On Tuesday, November 20, 2007, Sarah Jones will be in Atlanta to present her one- woman show A Right to Care, to benefit the Episcopal Migration Ministries and Church World Service affiliate, Refugee Resettlement and Immigration Services of Atlanta (RRISA).

This fundraiser couldn’t have come at a better time. Every night on the news you’ve seen what’s going on in Myanmar right now. What you may not know is that for years, tens of thousands of Burmese have been stagnating in refugee camps just over the border in Thailand. We are finally receiving permission by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees and the U.S. State Department to settle some of those refugees in Atlanta.

Our first wave of Burmese Karen has just arrived and we’re doing everything we can to house, clothe and settle these folks. As you can imagine, it costs a lot of money to furnish an apartment, provide utilities, food, other basics and services for these families.

So come this week of Thanksgiving to support our program and have a wonderful evening. Help us celebrate and give thanks for our many blessings. You are in for a treat. Those of us who have seen Sarah Jones perform understand why she won a Tony for her one-woman show. This show, A Right to Care, will amaze you.

HEALING AND REBUILDING

Located in Atlanta, Georgia, RRISA is a non-profit agency with a multi-lingual, multicultural staff and provides an entry into the American culture for hundreds of refugees each year. They come with only a few belongings and in debt for the price of their transportation from countries in Africa, the former Soviet Union, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

RRISA answers the humanitarian call to serve those fleeing from persecution, war, famine and extreme poverty. Our mission is to help refugees, asylees, and victims of human trafficking resettle in the United States and regain self-sufficiency.

Working with the community, RRISA strives to improve the plight of displaced and uprooted people. An affiliate of Church World Service and Episcopal Migration Ministries, RRISA acts as a bridge between local resources and refugees worldwide.

RRISA meets immediate needs for shelter, food, clothes and medical care and offers services in the following areas:

  • Employment
  • Education and cultural orientation
  • Individual, family and community identity
  • Long-term healing
