Empowering Women's Summit

Inspire, Empower, Engage!

My story begins with my journey after migrating to Canada in 2016. As a professional school teacher, when I came to Canada, I was full of hopes and dreams that I will able to absorb in this new society with minimal challenges. But there were challenges.  The next challenge was to select a relevant area of study, arrange finances, and prepare for getting the admission. I was very fortunate to find Refugee Women's Network, who managed to resolved all the three issues through identifying a program which was relevant to my area of study, which was almost free, and by providing preparation classes at the Learning Lab for a smooth entrance. The preparation classes were very intense and carried out with full of dedication, and professionalism.  With all this training, I was the first one was able to get admission in the Pre-Apprentice Early Childhood Education program at Seneca College which was not only free but also covered the transportation cost for the entire one year from Seneca. I have passed my certificate program successfully and I managed to get a permanent job in a reputed institution in the core downtown where I am working as Early Childhood Assistant..  With this job, I am also studying three days a week in the evening to complete my Diploma in Early Childhood Education after which I will able to grow professionally.I would formally like to thank you and would just say that these efforts have really paid off for me and now I am a equal contributor for my family for which I am really proud. I would once again like to thank Refugee Women's Network who are really doing great work to conduct the entrance preparatory classes and to help the immigrants and refugees women to be successful in their their path for helping them in achieving their dreams. 

Thank you.
