🧶✨ This week, CHW Memory led her second Care & Connect (“Kujali & Kuungana” in Swahili) session with our Congolese community!

The room was full of warmth, laughter, and new skills taking shape. The group is crocheting scarves together with crochet instructor Robbie working closely with each woman to help them feel confident with their hooks and yarn. But first — stretches! Program Coordinator Shea has researched ways to support women managing carpal tunnel symptoms from factory work — helping them warm up and stretch their hands before crocheting. But it’s Memory’s leadership that ties it all together. Her warmth and care have made this space one where women feel truly welcomed, supported, and connected to one another. Congrats to Memory and Shea on a successful start to this new cohort! 🙌🏼 We can’t wait to see what these women create — together. 💛 @gsuprc @clarkston.community.center #CareToConnect #SocialConnection #CommunityHealth #CombatSocialIsolation #RefugeeWellness
