Click here       Health supplies for North Korea Last fall, a delegation of MCCers were able to visit partners in North Korea, delivering health supplies in bags sewn by Winnipeg volunteers. Senior writer Julie Bell shares her reflections on the trip and the people she met. She writes: "On this day, the hostilities and harsh rhetoric of current times are irrelevant...The call to carry gifts of comfort and words of peace is the only truth that matters."   Providing a "pathway to dignity" for TPS recipients Those with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) have found invaluable support and information through New York Mennonite Immigration Program (NYMIP), a partnership of MCC and the New York City Council of Mennonite Churches.

Currently the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program provides protection from deportation and work permits to Dreamers, including people from Mennonite and Brethren in Christ congregations. DACA will end on March 5 unless Congress takes action. Join with other people of faith and call on your legislators to protect Dreamers and other immigrants.         Healing after Boko Haram The trauma of having her daughter abducted by Boko Haram almost took Kolo Adamu's life. But an MCC supported program helped her heal.
